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.

Whole-Exterior Refreshes on 1980s Homes
Brooklyn Park saw massive residential development during the 1980s, and a large share of the city's housing stock dates to that era. Those homes typically have hardboard siding (often Masonite), original aluminum soffit and fascia, and double-hung wood windows that have long since lost their seal. After 40-plus years of Minnesota weather, the bottom courses of siding are usually swollen or delaminated, and trim boards around garage doors show visible rot.
Our crews approach these whole-exterior refreshes in a specific sequence: strip the old siding, inspect and repair sheathing and housewrap, then install new siding, windows, and trim together so flashing details tie in correctly. We typically recommend fiber cement or engineered wood siding for Brooklyn Park homes because the city's flat, open terrain exposes west-facing walls to sustained wind and driving rain that vinyl struggles to handle long-term. Brooklyn Park requires permits for siding and window replacements, and our project managers pull those through the city's building permit process before work begins. We also verify whether the home was built before 1978, which triggers lead-safe work practices under our EPA certification.

Storm-Damage Coordination
Hail and straight-line wind events hit Brooklyn Park hard. The city sits in the path of storms that roll across the open farmland west of the metro, and roofs and siding take a beating. When a storm hits your neighborhood, the first 30 days matter most: that's your window to file an insurance claim, and acting quickly protects your coverage and prevents secondary water damage.
Here's how we handle it. We schedule a free inspection within days of your call, document all damage with photos and measurements, and provide a scope-of-work report you can submit to your insurer. Our project manager then works directly with your adjuster to align the estimate with the actual repair cost, so you're not stuck covering a gap. We don't ask for upfront deposits on insurance-funded work. Once the claim is approved, we schedule the job and complete it, typically within two to three weeks for a full roof and siding replacement. We've coordinated dozens of these claims across Hennepin County, and we know what adjusters expect to see in the documentation.

Why Homeowners Hire NorBrook Construction
Our credentials are specific and verifiable. We hold Minnesota residential building contractor license BC80875, which you can confirm through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry license lookup. For any home built before 1978, our EPA lead-safe certification (LFC-281) means we follow federal protocols for dust containment and disposal during siding and window removal.
Safety on the jobsite matters to us personally. Co-founder Seth Norling holds OSHA 30 certification, and that training shapes how our crews set up scaffolding, handle debris, and manage fall protection on every project. NorBrook was founded by brothers Robb and Seth Norling along with Charlie Brookins, and we operate out of Maple Plain. Every exterior remodel we take on gets a dedicated project manager who provides daily or weekly updates depending on the project phase. You'll always know what's happening, what's next, and whether anything has changed. If you want to talk through your project before requesting an estimate, call us directly at 763-237-5114.

Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
| Material/System | Typical Cost (per sq ft installed) | Lifespan | Maintenance | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl siding | $4 - $7 | 20 - 30 years | Low; can crack in extreme cold | Good for budget-conscious projects, but not our first choice for wind-exposed walls |
| Fiber cement (e.g., HardiePlank) | $8 - $13 | 40 - 50 years | Repaint every 10 - 15 years | Our default for most Brooklyn Park homes: handles wind, hail, and moisture well |
| Engineered wood (LP SmartSide) | $7 - $11 | 30 - 40 years | Repaint every 8 - 12 years | Strong alternative where homeowners want a wood-grain look without real wood maintenance |
| Steel entry door replacement | $2,000 - $4,500 (per unit) | 30+ years | Minimal | High-ROI upgrade: steel doors return roughly 119% of cost at resale |
| Garage door replacement | $3,500 - $6,000 (per unit) | 20 - 30 years | Minimal | Best single ROI move: garage doors in the Minneapolis market return about 140% of their cost |
For most Brooklyn Park projects, we recommend fiber cement siding paired with a new garage door and steel entry door. That combination addresses the biggest visual impact zones, stands up to local weather, and delivers strong resale value. If budget is a factor, we'll prioritize the garage door and entry door first since those two items alone can shift a home's curb appeal and return more than their cost when you sell.

Common Questions Before Hiring NorBrook in Brooklyn Park, MN
How much does a full exterior remodel cost in Brooklyn Park?
Most whole-exterior projects we complete in Brooklyn Park fall between $25,000 and $65,000, depending on home size, material choices, and whether windows are included. Your written estimate from us will break down every line item so there are no surprises.
How long will the project take?
A typical siding and trim replacement on a standard Brooklyn Park rambler takes two to three weeks. If we're adding windows and doors, plan for three to four weeks. Weather delays can extend timelines in spring and fall, and our project manager will communicate any schedule changes the same day.
Do I need a permit for exterior remodeling in Brooklyn Park?
Yes. Brooklyn Park requires permits for siding replacement, window changes, and roofing. We handle the permit application and inspections as part of our scope, so you don't need to visit city hall. The city also offers home improvement resources worth reviewing if you're exploring financing.
What happens at the first appointment?
We walk the exterior of your home together, identify damage or wear, discuss your goals and material preferences, and take measurements. You'll receive a written estimate within a few business days. No pressure, no sales pitch from a subcontractor: you're talking to our project manager or one of our founders.
Are there financing options for Brooklyn Park homeowners?
Hennepin County and several state programs offer home improvement loan options for qualifying homeowners. We can point you toward the right program based on your project size and income, though we don't administer financing directly.
Do you work on homes with lead paint?
Yes. Our EPA lead-safe certification (LFC-281) covers us for work on pre-1978 homes. We follow containment and cleanup protocols required by federal law, which protects your family and keeps the project compliant.

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.
