Neighborhoods
St. Paul's architectural character
St. Paul's housing skews older than the western suburbs — a lot of it predates 1940 — so the roofing and siding problems here are pre-war problems: steep, complex Victorian rooflines, story-and-a-half bungalows with knee-wall ventilation issues, and historic districts with their own review rules. Modex serves St. Paul and the east metro from our Eden Prairie shop, and we know how these older homes are actually built.
Era
Summit Hill, Crocus Hill & Dayton's Bluff Victorians
St. Paul's turn-of-the-century homes — the Victorians and four-squares in Summit Hill, Crocus Hill, and Dayton's Bluff — have steep, multi-gabled rooflines with dormers, valleys, and original slate or decades-old asphalt. The flashing details are where these roofs leak. We rebuild those details, extend ice-and-water shield 36 inches from every eave to meet Minnesota code, and on a designated historic property we account for Heritage Preservation Commission review. For character matching, CertainTeed Presidential or DaVinci synthetic slate; complex steep roofs often run $25,000 to $60,000+.
Roofing
Roof replacement and repair
$14,000 to $28,000 for a standard re-roof. Steep Victorian rooflines and premium materials run $35,000 to $90,000+. CertainTeed Landmark Pro and Malarkey Emerald Pro are our most popular choices in St. Paul.
Gutters
Gutter cleaning and installation in St. Paul
St. Paul's mature trees and spring snowmelt create high demand for gutter maintenance. Modex installs seamless aluminum and steel gutters, plus offers seasonal cleaning and ice-dam prevention.

What homeowners say
Real testimonials from Twin Cities homeowners who chose Modex for roofing, siding, and windows.
Joe came to our Bearpath home, walked the roof himself, and explained exactly what we needed. No pressure, no upsell. The crew showed up on time, cleaned up every day, and the roof looks perfect. Five stars.
Mark
Bearpath, roof replacement
We replaced our siding with LP SmartSide and new Pella windows. Modex handled the whole project—no surprises, no delays. The warranty is lifetime, which gave us real peace of mind.
Sarah
Mitchell Lake, siding and windows
After the June 2023 hail, our insurance claim was confusing. Modex's inspector knew exactly what to document and how to work with our adjuster. We got approved and the roof is done.
David
Anderson Lakes, hail damage
The gutters were leaking and the fascia was rotting. Modex replaced both with seamless aluminum and steel. It's been two seasons and no issues. They even cleaned up the landscaping.
Jennifer
Settlers Ridge, gutters and fascia
We got three quotes. Modex was transparent about costs and materials. They didn't pressure us into premium options we didn't need. That honesty made the difference.
Robert
Mitchell Road, roof inspection
Our 1970s split needed a new roof and gutters. Joe's crew was professional, respectful of our home, and finished ahead of schedule. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat.
Linda
Hillcrest, roof and gutters
"We're an Eden Prairie company, and we bring the same crews, the same lifetime workmanship warranty, and the same no-pressure process to St. Paul and the east metro that we bring to every Twin Cities home we work on."

St. Paul's housing skews pre-1940 — Victorians and four-squares in Summit Hill, Crocus Hill, and Dayton's Bluff, and 1920s bungalows and Tudors across Mac-Groveland, Highland Park, Como, and St. Anthony Park — with mid-century ramblers and newer infill mixed in.
