Written scopes and line-item estimates before any work begins.
Yes. Our EPA lead-safe certification LFC-281 means we follow federal RRP (Renovation, Repair, and Painting) rules for containment, cleanup, and disposal on any home built before 1978. Many Maple Plain homes fall into that era, and we are equipped to handle them properly.
Common Questions Before Hiring NorBrook in Maple Plain, MN
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.
Rogers is pulling in new residents faster than most Twin Cities suburbs, and that growth means people are building from the ground up rather than settling for what's already on the market. If you're one of them, here's what we bring to the table.

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.

New Neighborhoods in One of the Metro's Fastest-Growing Cities
Rogers has a 2026 population of roughly 15,905, and single-family construction has been a bright spot for residential building statewide. That growth shows up in subdivisions along Territorial Road and south of Highway 101, where new plats are opening with municipal sewer and water already stubbed in. Our crews work these lots regularly, and the process has a rhythm specific to Rogers.
The city requires building permits through its planning department, and we handle that paperwork as part of our scope. Soil conditions here vary: some lots sit on well-drained sandy loam, while others closer to Crow River tributaries carry higher clay content that demands engineered footings. We dig test holes early and adjust foundation design before concrete trucks show up, not after.
Frost depth in this part of Minnesota means footings go a minimum of 42 inches, and we pour them with 4,000 PSI concrete as standard. Framing follows with 2x6 exterior walls to accommodate R-21 insulation, which matters when January wind chills hit minus-30. These aren't optional upgrades for us: they're baseline specs for every Rogers project.

Acreage at the Edges in Rogers, MN
Step past the subdivisions and Rogers opens up into five-, ten-, and twenty-acre parcels along its northern and western borders. Building on acreage is a different animal. There's no city sewer tap waiting at the curb. Instead, we coordinate septic system design with a licensed designer, schedule the perc test, and make sure the drain field placement doesn't conflict with the home's footprint or your future outbuildings.
Well drilling is another variable. Depths in this part of Hennepin and Sherburne County range from 80 to over 200 feet depending on the aquifer, and we bring in our preferred well contractor early so water quality testing doesn't hold up your occupancy permit. Driveways on acreage sites also need proper engineering: class-5 gravel base, adequate crown for drainage, and sometimes a culvert where the ditch meets the county road.
We've built on sites where the nearest power pole was a quarter-mile away. That kind of detail changes the budget meaningfully, and we identify those costs during preconstruction so you see them in the estimate, not as a surprise change order.

Why Homeowners Hire NorBrook Construction
Here's what we bring to every Rogers project, with nothing inflated:
- Minnesota residential building contractor licence BC80875, verifiable through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry licence lookup.
- EPA lead-safe certification LFC-281, required for any work on homes built before 1978. Rogers has older housing stock near downtown, and this certification means we handle those materials safely and legally.
- OSHA 30 trained leadership: co-founder Seth Norling holds the OSHA 30 certification, and our site supervisors follow safety protocols that go beyond the minimum.
- Founded by Robb Norling, Seth Norling, and Charlie Brookins, based in Maple Plain, about 20 minutes from most Rogers job sites.
- A dedicated project manager assigned to your build who provides daily or weekly updates depending on the phase.

Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
Choosing a construction approach is one of the first real decisions you'll face. Here's how the main paths compare for a custom build in Rogers:
| Approach | Typical Cost per Sq Ft | Design Flexibility | Timeline | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Production/tract builder | $150-$200 | Low: pick from set plans | 4-6 months | Fine for budget buyers, but limited personalization |
| Semi-custom build | $200-$300 | Moderate: modify existing plans | 6-9 months | Good middle ground if you like a plan but want changes |
| Full custom build | $300-$450+ | Complete: your plan from scratch | 9-14 months | Our default recommendation for most Rogers clients |
| Owner-builder (self-managed) | Varies widely | Complete | 12-24+ months | We advise against this unless you have trade experience |
Custom home construction in Minnesota typically ranges from $300 to $450 or more per square foot for a fully custom design. For most Rogers clients, we recommend a full custom build because the whole point of building new is getting exactly what you want. Semi-custom works if you've found a plan you love and only need to adjust the kitchen layout or add a bedroom. The cost difference between semi-custom and full custom is smaller than most people expect, and we walk through that comparison during our first meeting.

Common Questions Before Hiring NorBrook in Rogers, MN
How much does it cost to build a custom home in Rogers?
Most of our Rogers builds fall between $300 and $500 per square foot depending on finishes, site conditions, and complexity. A 2,400-square-foot home with mid-to-upper-level finishes typically lands in the $750,000 to $1,000,000 range. Your written estimate from us confirms the number before any work begins.
How long does a custom build take?
Plan on 9 to 14 months from groundbreaking to move-in for a full custom home. Weather can shift the schedule: a wet spring delays excavation, and a harsh early winter can push exterior finishes. We build weather contingency into every timeline we present.
What happens at the first meeting?
We sit down with you, review your wish list and budget range, and look at your lot or help you evaluate one. You'll leave with a clear understanding of what's realistic for your budget and a rough timeline. There's no cost and no obligation.
Do you handle permits in Rogers?
Yes. We prepare and submit all building permit applications to the City of Rogers, coordinate inspections, and manage the certificate of occupancy process. You don't need to visit city hall.
What's your warranty?
We provide a one-year workmanship warranty on all construction and pass through manufacturer warranties on products like roofing, windows, and mechanicals. Specific coverage details are spelled out in your contract.
Do you build outside Rogers?
We do. Our primary service area covers the western Twin Cities metro, including Maple Grove, Plymouth, Medina, Delano, and surrounding communities. Rogers is one of our most active markets right now.

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.
