How much does a full re-side cost in Maple Plain?
What warranty do I get?
What happens at the first appointment?
Do you work on homes with lead paint?
Do I need a permit for siding work?
Most full re-sides on a single-family home in Maple Plain take five to eight working days once materials arrive. Tear-off of old siding adds one to two days if the existing cladding is wood. Weather delays can push the schedule, and our project manager will communicate any changes the same day.
We provide a workmanship warranty on our labor, and the manufacturer's product warranty covers the material. Fiber cement products typically carry a 30-year non-prorated warranty, while vinyl varies by brand from 25 years to lifetime. We walk through warranty details at the estimate appointment so you know exactly what is covered.
Yes. The city of Maple Plain requires a building permit for a full re-side. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and handle the paperwork. You do not need to visit city hall.
One of our project managers visits your home, measures the exterior, inspects the existing siding condition, and discusses your material preferences. We take photos and notes, then deliver a written estimate within a few business days. There is no charge and no obligation.
How long does a siding project take?
For a standard rambler or split-level, our written estimates for vinyl typically fall between $8,000 and $13,000, and fiber cement runs $15,000 to $24,000. The exact number depends on wall area, trim details, and whether we need to address sheathing or moisture damage underneath. Your written estimate will confirm the price before any work begins.

Cities We Serve in the West Metro

We work throughout the following communities. [CONFIRM final list]
As a family-owned contractor, we know these neighborhoods: the lake homes around Minnetonka and Orono, the newer developments in Corcoran and Medina, and the established streets of Wayzata and Excelsior. That local knowledge shapes how we plan a project, from lot conditions and municipal review to the material choices that hold up in this climate.

Arbor Lakes Retail District Work
The Arbor Lakes corridor is where most of our Maple Grove commercial work lands. Tenant turnover in that district means constant renovation: demolishing old retail layouts, running new mechanical systems, and rebuilding storefronts to meet the branding standards that Arbor Lakes property managers enforce. Our crews handle structural steel modifications, storefront glazing installs, and the HVAC rerouting that comes with splitting or combining retail bays.
Maple Grove sits on glacial till with a high water table in several spots near Arbor Lakes, which affects foundation work and below-slab plumbing. We account for that during pre-construction by pulling soil borings early and coordinating with the city's engineering department before we pour. The city's plan review process for commercial work typically runs four to six weeks, and we submit early enough to keep our schedule from slipping. The district has continued to attract new development and infrastructure investment over the past two years, so we stay current on what the city expects from contractors working in that area.
Winter framing in Minnesota is a real factor. We schedule concrete pours and exterior envelope work for warmer months whenever possible, and when we can't avoid cold-weather concrete, we use heated blankets and admixtures rated for our freeze-thaw cycles.

Medical and Office Build-Outs
Maple Grove's medical corridor along Highway 94 keeps growing, and we do a significant amount of clinic and specialty office build-out work there. These projects are different from retail: infection control during construction is a real code requirement when you're building inside or adjacent to an operating medical facility. We install temporary dust barriers with negative air pressure and coordinate phased construction so the clinic next door stays open.
Our process for a typical 3,000-square-foot medical suite starts with a pre-construction meeting where we walk the shell space with the tenant's architect and MEP engineer. We then price the job against the architectural drawings, flag any conflicts between the building's base systems and the tenant's needs, and submit for permits through Maple Grove's community development department. The city has been actively updating its growth and development plans, which means code requirements shift, and we track those changes so our clients don't get caught by surprise mid-project.
Office build-outs run faster than medical, usually eight to twelve weeks for a standard professional suite. We handle everything from framing and drywall through millwork, flooring, and final punch list.

Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
| Approach | Typical Cost per SF | Timeline | Best For | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full design-build | $150 - $250 | 16 - 24 weeks | New tenants building from shell space | We recommend this for most Maple Grove commercial projects: single point of accountability, fewer change orders |
| Construction management (CM) | $120 - $200 + CM fee | 12 - 20 weeks | Owners who already have an architect and want bid oversight | Good if you have strong design documents; we'll manage subs and keep the schedule tight |
| General contracting (plan & spec) | $130 - $220 | 14 - 22 weeks | Projects with completed plans ready to bid | Works well when drawings are thorough; risk increases if plans have gaps |
| Self-managed subcontracting | Varies widely | Unpredictable | Very small projects under $50K | We don't recommend this for commercial work: permit coordination alone makes it a headache |
For most Maple Grove commercial build-outs, we default to design-build. It eliminates the finger-pointing between architect and builder, and it gives you one contract and one team responsible for the outcome. The construction industry in Minnesota has been emphasizing integrated delivery models for exactly this reason: they reduce cost overruns and compress timelines.

What We Build
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Seth Norling
Vice President
I've spent more than 12 years in the construction industry, and I've built my career around one idea: a project runs best when it's planned well and managed closely. As Vice President at NorBrook Construction, I focus on project management, planning, and execution — making sure every build moves forward efficiently, stays on budget, and meets the highest standards from the first meeting to the final walkthrough.
My background is rooted in both education and hands-on experience. I'm a graduate of the University of Minnesota with a degree in Commercial Construction Management, and I've spent the years since delivering projects through strong leadership and close collaboration with clients, crews, and partners. I've learned that clear communication is what keeps a project on track and a client confident, so it's something I never leave to chance.
NorBrook is a family business, and that changes how we work. When my dad, Robb, and I take on a custom home, an exterior remodel, or a commercial build, we treat it like it's our own — because our name is on it. My goal on every project is a successful outcome for the client: work done right, delivered on time and on budget, and built to a standard we're proud to stand behind.
