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.

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.

Wooded and Creek-Side Decks
Eden Prairie sits on some of the most varied terrain in Hennepin County. Homes along Purgatory Creek, near Staring Lake, and in neighborhoods like Forest Hills and Bearpath often sit on sloped, heavily wooded lots where a standard deck build just doesn't apply. Our crews regularly set helical piers or pour sono-tube footings on grades that drop six to ten feet from the house to the tree line. That means taller posts, engineered beam spans, and sometimes cantilevered sections to clear root zones without damaging mature oaks and maples.
Eden Prairie's municipal permitting process requires site plans that show setbacks from bluff lines and water features, and we handle those submittals before any lumber arrives. Flashing details matter more here than on a flat suburban lot because water drains fast on a slope and can undermine footings if the ledger connection isn't right. We use stainless steel ledger bolts and self-adhering membrane behind every ledger board, which exceeds code but prevents the rot we've torn out of 20-year-old creek-side decks across the city. If your lot backs up to a conservation easement or wetland buffer, we know where the buildable area ends and design within it from day one.
Every household is different, so we start with what you actually own and who counts on you, then build coverage around it.

Composite Rebuilds of 1990s Structures
A huge share of Eden Prairie's housing stock went up between 1985 and 2000. Those homes came with pressure-treated pine decks that are now 25 to 35 years old, and most are past the point of repair. Joists are soft, railings wobble, and the ledger boards behind the siding have often been trapping moisture for years. We see this constantly on jobs in neighborhoods like Hennepin Village, Edenvale, and the areas south of Pioneer Trail.
Our rebuild process starts with a full structural assessment. We pull the decking and inspect every joist, beam, and connection point before quoting the scope. Sometimes the substructure is salvageable with sistered joists and new hardware; other times we tear it down to the footings. The new decking goes on in composite, and we default to capped PVC or capped composite boards because they hold up to Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles without the annual sealing that cedar or tropical hardwood demands. Wood deck additions in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area recoup roughly 72.3% of their cost at resale, and composite versions tend to track even higher because buyers see them as maintenance-free. For a city where median home prices remain strong, that return matters.

Why Homeowners Hire NorBrook Construction
We carry Minnesota residential building contractor license BC80875, which you can verify through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry's license lookup. For homes built before 1978, we hold EPA lead-safe certification LFC-281, required for any renovation that disturbs painted surfaces in older structures. Our co-founder Seth Norling holds an OSHA 30 safety certification, and that training filters down to every crew member on every job site.
NorBrook was founded by brothers Robb and Seth Norling alongside Charlie Brookins. We operate out of Maple Plain and serve the western Twin Cities suburbs, including Eden Prairie. Every deck project gets a dedicated project manager who provides daily or weekly updates depending on the phase of work. You always know what happened today, what's scheduled tomorrow, and whether anything changed. If you want to talk through your project before requesting a formal estimate, call us directly at 763-237-5114.

Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
| Material | Installed Cost per Sq Ft | Lifespan | Maintenance | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pressure-Treated Pine | $28 - $42 | 15 - 20 years | Stain/seal every 2 - 3 years | Good for budget-focused builds; best on flat, sun-exposed lots where it dries quickly |
| Cedar | $38 - $55 | 20 - 25 years | Oil or stain every 1 - 2 years | Beautiful but high-maintenance in Eden Prairie's shade-heavy wooded lots |
| Capped Composite | $45 - $65 | 25 - 30+ years | Occasional soap-and-water wash | Our default for most Eden Prairie projects: best balance of durability, looks, and long-term cost |
| PVC Decking | $50 - $72 | 30+ years | Minimal | Best for lakeside or creek-side exposure where moisture contact is constant |
| Tropical Hardwood (Ipe) | $60 - $85 | 30 - 40 years | Annual oiling or accept silver patina | Premium option; we recommend it only if you genuinely enjoy the upkeep ritual |
For most Eden Prairie homes, we recommend capped composite on a pressure-treated substructure. It handles the freeze-thaw cycling, stays cool enough underfoot in July, and won't splinter or gray out. The upfront cost is higher than pine, but you recoup it in skipped maintenance seasons within five to seven years.

Common Questions Before Hiring NorBrook in Eden Prairie, MN
How much does a new deck cost in Eden Prairie?
Most of our Eden Prairie deck projects fall between $18,000 and $55,000 depending on size, material, and site complexity. A 300-square-foot composite deck on a flat lot sits at the lower end; a 500-plus-square-foot multi-tier build on a sloped wooded lot pushes higher. Your written estimate confirms the exact number after we assess the site.
How long does a deck build take?
A straightforward replacement on an existing footprint typically takes two to three weeks from demo to final inspection. New builds with footings and permit lead time run four to six weeks. We give you a project calendar at signing and your project manager updates it if anything shifts.
Do I need a permit for a deck in Eden Prairie?
Yes. Eden Prairie requires a building permit for any new deck or structural modification to an existing one. We handle the permit application, structural drawings, and inspection scheduling so you don't have to chase paperwork. The city typically reviews residential deck permits within five to ten business days.
What warranty do you provide?
We provide a workmanship warranty on our labor, and the material manufacturer's warranty covers the decking and hardware. Composite products we install typically carry 25- to 30-year manufacturer warranties. Your contract spells out the exact terms before you sign.
What happens at the first appointment?
We walk the site, measure, photograph, and talk through what you want. We look at the existing structure if there is one, check the grade and drainage, and note anything that affects scope or cost. You'll receive a written estimate within a few business days.
Do you work through the winter?
We pour footings and set substructure as long as the ground isn't frozen solid, which in Eden Prairie usually means we can start builds into late November and resume in March. Composite decking installs fine in cold weather. We'll be straight with you about scheduling if your timeline falls in the deep-winter months.
Every household is different, so we start with what you actually own and who counts on you, then build coverage around it.

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.
