Building a custom home in Edina is a significant investment, and the city's particular mix of zoning rules, teardown activity, and premium lot values makes choosing the right builder a decision that shapes the next twenty years of your life.
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.

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 1970s Stock
Burnsville's housing stock tells a specific story. The city saw massive residential development through the 1970s, which means a large share of homes feature original cedar lap siding, single-pane windows, and asphalt shingles that have been re-layered at least once. These homes sit on relatively flat lots with clay-heavy soil that holds moisture, and that combination accelerates deterioration on north-facing walls where freeze-thaw cycles hit hardest.
When we take on a whole-exterior refresh for a 1970s Burnsville home, our crews strip everything back to sheathing so we can inspect for moisture damage and rotted OSB or plywood. We don't side over problems. The typical sequence starts with the roof tear-off and re-deck, then moves to window and door rough-ins, followed by house wrap, siding installation, and finally trim and gutters. Burnsville requires a building permit for this scope of work, and our project managers pull permits through Dakota County before demo day.
Many of these homes also fall under pre-1978 lead paint rules. Our EPA lead-safe certification (LFC-281) means we follow containment and disposal protocols that protect your family and keep the job compliant. That matters on these older Burnsville properties more than most homeowners realize.

Roof-Siding-Gutter Bundles
Bundling your roof, siding, and gutters into a single project is one of the smartest moves a Burnsville homeowner can make. The reason is practical: these three systems overlap physically. Drip edge ties into the gutter line, step flashing ties into the siding, and if you replace one without addressing the others, you're paying a crew to work around aging materials that will need replacement soon anyway.
Our process for bundled projects in Burnsville starts with a single site assessment where we measure, photograph, and document every elevation. We price the bundle as one job with one mobilization, one dumpster, and one project manager coordinating the sequence. That saves real money compared to hiring three separate trades over three separate years. Minnesota exterior remodeling costs can range widely depending on material choices and home size, but bundling consistently brings per-square-foot costs down because labor efficiency improves when crews don't have to protect finished work from an unfinished adjacent system.
Burnsville's wind exposure along the Minnesota River bluff edges makes proper gutter-to-fascia attachment critical. We use hidden hanger systems rated for snow and ice loads rather than spike-and-ferrule, which loosens over time in this climate.

Why Homeowners Hire NorBrook Construction
We carry Minnesota residential building contractor license BC80875, which you can verify yourself through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry license lookup. For any Burnsville home built before 1978, our EPA lead-safe certification (LFC-281) ensures we handle hazardous materials according to federal and state regulations.
Safety leadership matters on exterior jobs involving roof work and scaffolding. Co-founder Seth Norling holds OSHA 30 certification, and that training shapes how our crews set up every job site. NorBrook was founded by brothers Robb and Seth Norling alongside Charlie Brookins, and we operate out of Maple Plain, giving us direct access to the south metro including Burnsville.
Every NorBrook project gets a dedicated project manager who provides daily or weekly updates depending on the scope. You won't chase us for information. If you'd rather talk before filling out a form, call us directly at 763-237-5114.

Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
| Material/System | Lifespan | Cost Range (per sq ft installed) | Maintenance | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl Siding | 20-30 years | $4-$8 | Low: wash annually | Good budget option for resale-focused projects |
| Fiber Cement Siding | 40-50 years | $8-$14 | Moderate: repaint every 10-15 years | Our default pick for most Burnsville homes |
| Engineered Wood (LP SmartSide) | 30-40 years | $6-$10 | Moderate: repaint every 8-12 years | Strong mid-range choice with real wood aesthetics |
| Asphalt Shingles (Architectural) | 25-30 years | $4-$7 | Low | Standard roof choice, proven in MN climate |
| Metal Roofing (Standing Seam) | 50+ years | $10-$16 | Very low | Best long-term value if budget allows |
For most Burnsville exterior remodeling projects, we recommend fiber cement siding paired with architectural asphalt shingles. This combination hits the right balance of durability, curb appeal, and cost for homes in the $350K-$450K range. Exterior upgrades like these consistently rank among the highest-ROI home improvements, often recovering 60-80% of project cost at resale. If you're planning to stay in your home long-term, standing seam metal roofing is worth the conversation.

Common Questions Before Hiring NorBrook in Burnsville, MN
How much does a full exterior remodel cost in Burnsville?
For a typical 1,500-2,000 square foot Burnsville home, a full exterior package (roof, siding, gutters, and trim) usually falls between $35,000 and $70,000. The range depends on material choices and the condition of your sheathing and framing. Your written estimate from us will confirm exact costs before any work begins.
How long will the project take?
Most bundled exterior projects in Burnsville run four to six weeks from demo to final cleanup. Weather delays can push that timeline, especially during spring and fall shoulder seasons. Our project manager will give you a realistic schedule at the start and update you if anything shifts.
What warranty do I get?
We provide a workmanship warranty on all labor, and the material manufacturers back their products with separate warranties ranging from 25 years to lifetime depending on what you choose. Both are detailed in your contract before you sign.
Do I need to be home during the work?
No. Most homeowners go about their normal routine while our crews work. We secure the job site daily and communicate progress through your dedicated project manager so you always know what happened and what's coming next.
Do you handle the permits?
Yes. Our team pulls all necessary building permits through Dakota County for Burnsville projects. Permit costs are included in your estimate, and we schedule the required inspections as part of our standard process.
What happens at the first appointment?
We walk your property, take measurements and photos, discuss what you want to accomplish, and talk through material options. There's no pressure and no same-day signing. You'll receive a detailed written estimate within a few business days, and outdoor feature improvements like these tend to be among the most satisfying remodeling investments homeowners make.

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.
