Does Modex install Lindsay windows?

No. Modex installs three window brands: ProVia, Kolbe, and Pella. For mid-tier vinyl, we recommend ProVia Endure as the best value-warranty combination.

ProVia vs Lindsay — which has better warranty?

ProVia Endure carries true lifetime warranty on frame, glass, and labor — transferable to next homeowner. Lindsay Pinnacle covers frame for lifetime; glass and labor are shorter terms. ProVia is meaningfully stronger here.

How much does ProVia cost in Minneapolis vs Lindsay?

ProVia Endure $14K-$24K full house. Lindsay Pinnacle $15K-$26K. Comparable pricing — ProVia delivers more standard features at a slightly lower base.

Which has better Minnesota cold-climate performance?

ProVia Endure ComforTech triple-pane is standard. Lindsay requires triple-pane upgrade. At equivalent glass package, both perform well. ProVia at standard config wins for Minneapolis -20°F winter lows.

Will ProVia qualify for the IRA 25C tax credit?

Yes. ProVia Endure Energy Star Most Efficient qualifies for the 30% federal tax credit up to $600 per year on window upgrades.

ProVia vs Lindsay windows: which is right for Minneapolis?

ProVia and Lindsay both compete in the vinyl-window mid-tier for Minneapolis. Modern Exterior Systems (Modex) installs ProVia. ProVia Endure carries true lifetime warranty on frame, glass, and labor — transferable. Lindsay Pinnacle carries limited lifetime warranty (frame only). ProVia $700–$1,200 per window installed; Lindsay $750–$1,300. Comparable pricing — ProVia wins on warranty terms and glass package.

ProVia lineup

Product lines

Three tiers built for different budgets

ProVia offers Aspect (entry vinyl), Endure (premium vinyl), and Espire (fiberglass). Aspect is solid for tight budgets. Endure is where most Minneapolis homeowners land—it's the sweet spot for performance and cost. Espire is fiberglass, which means no painting, better thermal performance, and a higher price tag. All three come with Comfort-Tech glass, which is their proprietary insulated glass system.

Lindsay lineup

Product lines

Three vinyl-only options

Lindsay sells Pinnacle (entry), Pro Series (mid), and Premier (premium). All vinyl. No fiberglass option. Pinnacle and Pro Series are the volume sellers—they're what you'll see quoted at home shows. Premier is their top tier, but it's rarely the focus of their sales pitch. The distribution model—franchise installers and home-show channels—shapes how they're sold more than the product itself.

Why I chose ProVia

The decision

Custom colors, glass technology, and sales integrity

ProVia's custom-color program is broader than Lindsay's. Comfort-Tech glass is well-regarded in the industry. Manufacturer-direct dealer relationships keep pricing transparent and honest. And I don't have to sell through home-show tactics or franchise pressure. Modex writes quotes, explains options, and lets homeowners decide. That's the model I built.

Why the sales approach matters

Lindsay's product itself isn't the problem. The way Lindsay is most commonly sold—high-pressure home-show closes, "today only" pricing, "sign now or lose it" tactics—is what I won't be part of.

Clear choice

Modex doesn't install Lindsay windows

If you specifically want Lindsay, find a contractor who sells it—most will be through home-show or franchise channels. Just know what you're signing up for.
