Honest assessment
We document the condition of your roof and show you what we see before any decisions are made. If we walk it and find partial damage worth a $1,400–$5,000 repair, that's the quote you get. If we don't find storm damage, we tell you that too. You see the photos. You read the scope. You decide.

Damage types
Most frequent Twin Cities claim
Hail
Most hail bruises don't show from the ground — that's why we document from the roof. Upgrading to a Class 4 impact-resistant shingle (CertainTeed Landmark ClimateFlex, Malarkey Vista AR) usually qualifies you for a 10–30% insurance premium discount in Minnesota.

Wind
Sustained wind over 60 mph — the kind we saw across Edina, Wayzata, and Chanhassen in 2023 — lifts shingle tabs and pops ridge caps. Partial repairs run $800–$5K; full-roof wind losses run $14K–$28K once the carrier approves the scope.

Ice & water
Minnesota winters drive snowmelt under shingles. Damage often shows up months later as interior ceiling staining or insulation rot.

Process
The insurance claim process moves quickly when documentation is thorough and honest. Modex handles each step so your carrier approves the full scope and you get the roof you need.
We photograph every impact, measure damage patterns, and prepare a claim packet for your carrier.
We coordinate timing so our crew can walk the roof with the adjuster and answer structural questions in real time.
If the carrier's initial scope misses decking, ice-and-water shield, or code upgrades, we document the gaps and submit supplements.
Once your carrier approves the final scope, you pay your deductible and we schedule the install with our crews.

June 2023 Twin Cities hail
The June 2023 storm cycle hit hard across the western metro. Bearpath, Mitchell Lake, and Anderson Lakes in Eden Prairie took significant hail. Bloomington's Brookside, West Bloomington, and Penn Lake neighborhoods saw widespread impact. Edina's Country Club and Morningside areas, plus the lake corridor from Minnetonka through Wayzata, Excelsior, and Chanhassen all filed heavy claims.
Emergency
When a storm punches through your roof, water moves fast. We tarp within 24 hours of your call, stabilize the damage, and document what we see for your insurance adjuster.
$500–$1,500 typical cost, reimbursable in most carrier scopes.
Drone-supported and on-roof walk within 24–48 hours of severe weather.
Full photographic record and damage assessment ready for your carrier.
Differentiators
Three reasons we stand apart in storm work.

Inclusion
Storm scopes that quietly leave out decking repair and ice-and-water shield turn into surprise change orders at tear-off. We scope both in from the start — to MN code, extended past the eaves the way our winters demand. If the carrier's first scope misses them, we supplement. Your roof goes on right the first time.

Documentation
On-roof photography, drone documentation, and supplement writing that catches what initial scopes miss — decking, ice-and-water shield, code upgrades. Your job is the deductible. Ours is the paperwork.

Owner-led
Every storm project over $40K gets direct ownership attention — the inspection, the scope review, and the final walk-through. No handoff to whoever's scheduled that week.
The questions homeowners actually ask after a Twin Cities storm.
Will insurance cover storm damage roof repair in Minneapolis?
Insurance typically covers storm damage — hail, wind, tree-fall, ice-dam-caused — but not normal wear-and-tear. If you've had a recent storm and your roof shows damage signs (granule loss, cracked shingles, dented vents, missing tabs), file a claim before your policy's filing window closes. Most Minnesota policies give you 1–2 years from the storm date. We document damage with on-roof photography and meet your adjuster on the property when possible. The homeowner pays the deductible; we deliver the work the carrier approves.
Why does Modex refuse to waive deductibles in Minneapolis?
Minnesota Statute 325E.66 makes it illegal for contractors to waive insurance deductibles — and any homeowner who accepts a deductible-waiving offer is at legal risk too, not just the contractor. The deductible is your contractual responsibility to your carrier. We don't waive it, never have, never will. We do the work your carrier approves; you pay the deductible. That's how an honest insurance restoration works.
How fast can you respond to storm damage in Minneapolis?
Emergency tarping within 24 hours when there's active leaking. Full damage assessment within 24–48 hours of your call. Modex is based in Eden Prairie — most Twin Cities metro properties are inside a 30-minute drive. We work the June and July storm seasons heavily and keep crews available during active storm cycles, so we're not booking three weeks out when the hail just hit.
What hail damage signs should I look for in Minneapolis?
Granule loss exposing the asphalt mat. Cracked or split shingles. Dented vents, downspouts, or gutter aprons. Missing tab corners. Round, dark “bruises” on the shingle face where hail impact damaged the mat. A lot of hail damage isn't visible from the ground — that's why we document from the roof, not the driveway. Free on-roof inspections across Minneapolis, no charge, no high-pressure follow-up.
Do I need to wait for the insurance adjuster before starting repair?
For partial repair or full replacement: yes, wait for adjuster approval. Starting work before the adjuster visit can complicate the claim and you may end up paying out of pocket for what should have been covered. For emergency tarping with active leaking: no — we tarp first, document for the adjuster, and the tarping cost is typically reimbursed under the claim separately. Call us first either way at 952-206-6339.
