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.
Chanhassen homeowners spend between $35,000 and $120,000 on full exterior remodels, depending on materials, square footage, and the scope of work involved. That's a wide range, and the right contractor makes the difference between a project that holds up for decades and one that needs patching in five years.

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 Updates on 1990s Homes
Chanhassen saw a building boom through the 1990s, and a huge portion of the housing stock in neighborhoods like Clover Field, Lyman Estates, and areas south of Highway 5 dates from that era. These homes typically came with T1-11 or hardboard siding, builder-grade double-hung windows, and three-tab asphalt shingles that have long since exceeded their useful life. Our crews see the same pattern on nearly every 1990s project: water intrusion behind the siding has caused OSB sheathing damage, and the original windows have failed seals that show condensation between panes.
We approach these jobs in a specific sequence. Roofing comes first because it protects everything below it. Then we strip the siding, inspect and repair sheathing, install a proper weather-resistive barrier, and apply new cladding. Windows get framed into the new wall assembly so the flashing integrates correctly. Chanhassen's building permit process requires permits for siding, roofing, and window replacements, and we pull all of them before work starts. The freeze-thaw cycles here are punishing: 40 or more per winter in a typical year. That kind of exposure means material choices and installation details matter more than they would in a milder climate.

Roof-Siding-Window Packages
Bundling your roof, siding, and windows into a single project saves real money compared to doing them separately over three or four years. You pay for one mobilization, one dumpster cycle, and one permit round instead of three. Our project managers coordinate the trades so the roofers finish before the siding crew arrives, and the window installers work in tandem with the siding team to get flashing details right.
For most Chanhassen homes, we spec architectural shingles rated for the wind and hail exposure common in the southwest metro. Fiber cement siding handles the moisture and temperature swings better than vinyl in this part of Minnesota, and triple-pane windows with Low-E coatings make a noticeable difference on heating bills from November through March. Garage door replacement is also worth considering as part of a full exterior package: that single upgrade recoups roughly 140% of its cost at resale in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro, making it one of the highest-return exterior improvements you can make. We handle the coordination so you're not juggling three contractors and three timelines.

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 DLI license lookup. For homes built before 1978, we carry EPA lead-safe certification LFC-281, which is required by federal law for renovation work that disturbs painted surfaces in older structures. Co-founder Seth Norling holds OSHA 30 certification, meaning our job site safety standards go well beyond the minimum.
NorBrook was founded by brothers Robb and Seth Norling along with Charlie Brookins. We operate out of Maple Plain, roughly 15 minutes from most Chanhassen job sites. Every project gets a dedicated project manager who provides daily or weekly updates depending on the phase of work. You always know what happened today and what's scheduled tomorrow. If you want to talk to us directly, call 763-237-5114.

Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
| Component | Budget Option | Mid-Range Option | Premium Option | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roofing | 3-tab asphalt shingles | Architectural asphalt shingles | Synthetic slate or metal | Architectural shingles: best balance of cost, durability, and hail resistance for Chanhassen |
| Siding | Vinyl (.042 gauge) | Engineered wood (LP SmartSide) | Fiber cement (HardiPlank) | Fiber cement: handles freeze-thaw cycles and holds paint far longer |
| Windows | Single-hung vinyl, dual pane | Double-hung vinyl, triple pane | Fiberglass frame, triple pane | Triple-pane vinyl: strong thermal performance without the fiberglass price jump |
| Garage Door | Uninsulated steel | Insulated steel (R-12) | Insulated steel with windows (R-16+) | Insulated steel R-12: highest ROI exterior upgrade in the metro |
For most Chanhassen projects, we recommend the mid-range to premium tier depending on your budget and how long you plan to stay in the home. Fiber cement siding with architectural shingles and triple-pane windows is our default spec because it performs well against the weather we get here and holds its value at resale. The budget tier works for investment properties, but if you're living in the home, the mid-range pays for itself in lower maintenance and energy costs within a few years.

Common Questions Before Hiring NorBrook in Chanhassen, MN
How much does a full exterior remodel cost in Chanhassen?
Most of our Chanhassen projects fall between $40,000 and $110,000 for a complete roof, siding, and window package on a typical 2,000-2,500 square foot home. Material choices drive most of the variation. Your written estimate from us will break down every line item so there are no surprises.
How long will the project take?
A full exterior remodel typically runs four to six weeks from the start of tear-off to final cleanup. Weather delays can push that out, but our project manager keeps you informed if the schedule shifts. We give you a projected completion date in your contract.
What warranty do I get?
We provide a workmanship warranty on our labor, and the manufacturer warranties on materials pass through to you. Specific terms depend on the products selected, and we walk through all of it before you sign.
Do I need to be home during the work?
No. Most homeowners go about their normal routine while we work. Your project manager will let you know if we ever need interior access for window installations, and we schedule that around your availability.

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.
