Wayzata
Lake Minnetonka's premier exterior specialists
Modex serves Wayzata's most distinctive neighborhoods—Bracketts Point, Ferndale, Wayzata Bay, and the historic downtown district. Our crews understand the architectural character of early-1900s lakeside estates, modern peninsula compounds, and the City of Wayzata's shoreline review board requirements that govern all lake-facing exterior work. We carry the same review-board process across the lake to Orono's HOAs on the northwest shore.
Bracketts Point
One of Minnesota's most exclusive peninsula addresses. Custom homes and estates on Bracketts Point demand period-correct materials and meticulous shoreline review board coordination before any exterior permit is issued.
Ferndale
Ferndale Road runs past some of the oldest money on the lake, and the homes show it — steep roofs, deep eaves, and details that a stock architectural shingle makes look cheap. This is where Presidential Shake TL and synthetic slate earn their premium.
Wayzata Bay
Wind comes straight off the bay, and it finds every edge a crew cut corners on. Starter strip, six-nail fastening, and sealed rakes aren't upsells on these roofs — they're the difference between a roof that holds and one that peels in a straight-line event.
Historic downtown
Early-1900s homes off Lake Street come with original wood windows and rooflines that were never built for modern ventilation. We match the period detail and fix the venting behind it — the part nobody sees and every one of these houses needs.

Materials
Premium materials are the standard
Wayzata projects don't start with basic asphalt shingles or vinyl windows. Our crews default to CertainTeed Presidential Shake, DaVinci synthetic slate, James Hardie ColorPlus, and Kolbe Heritage—the materials that belong on Bracketts Point and Ferndale estates.
Synthetic slate
DaVinci Bellaforté and Davinci Bellaforté Slate offer the weight, texture, and longevity of natural slate without the structural load. Perfect for Bracketts Point peninsula compounds and Ferndale historic restorations.
Standing seam metal
Copper and painted metal standing seam roofing ages beautifully on lake homes. Our crews handle custom flashing, valleys, and trim details that define premium work.
James Hardie ColorPlus
Fiber cement siding with factory-applied color holds up to Minnesota winters and lake-corridor humidity. No paint maintenance for 15+ years.
Kolbe Heritage windows
Solid wood frames with period-correct muntin patterns for historic Ferndale homes. Triple-glazed, thermally broken, and built to last 50+ years.
