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.
Edina homeowners are spending big on curb appeal, and for good reason: new construction in the city averages between $2.2M and $2.3M, which means upgrading an existing home's exterior is one of the smartest investments you can make short of a full rebuild.

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-Home Exterior Elevation Changes
Most of the homes we remodel in Edina were built between the 1950s and 1980s: split-levels, ramblers, and two-stories with original cedar or hardboard siding that's well past its useful life. These homes sit on mature, tree-lined lots with significant weather exposure from the west, which means moisture management isn't optional. Our crews strip the existing cladding, inspect and repair sheathing, install a continuous weather-resistive barrier, and then apply new siding and trim in a sequence that protects every layer from Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles.
Edina's zoning and building codes require permits for re-siding when we alter the wall assembly or change materials, and the city's inspectors are thorough. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and handle all communication with the Edina building department so you don't have to. On a typical whole-home elevation change, we're also replacing or wrapping window and door trim, adding architectural details like board-and-batten gable accents or stone veneer wainscoting, and upgrading soffits to vented aluminum. The goal is a home that looks intentionally designed, not patched together over time.

Coordinated Designer Palettes
Color and material choices can make or break an exterior project. Edina's housing stock tends toward neutral earth tones, but the trend we're seeing in 2026 leans toward mixed-material facades with contrasting textures rather than a single siding type from foundation to roofline. We build coordinated palettes that pair a primary cladding with accent materials: fiber cement lap siding in a warm charcoal with natural stone at the entry, for example, or engineered wood shakes on the upper gable paired with smooth panel below.
Our process starts with a site visit where we photograph your home from every elevation, then mock up two or three palette options digitally so you see the combinations before anything ships. We spec colors from the same manufacturer families to ensure the undertones work together, and we factor in your existing roof color, since most Edina homeowners aren't replacing a roof and siding at the same time. The result is a home that reads as one cohesive design, not a collection of products bolted together.

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 license lookup. For Edina homes built before 1978, we hold EPA lead-safe certification LFC-281, a legal requirement for disturbing painted surfaces on older structures. Our co-founder Seth Norling holds OSHA 30 certification, and that safety-first mindset runs through every crew we send to your property.
NorBrook was founded by brothers Robb and Seth Norling alongside Charlie Brookins, and we operate out of Maple Plain. Every exterior remodeling project gets a dedicated project manager who provides daily or weekly updates depending on the phase of work. You'll always know what happened today, what's scheduled tomorrow, and whether we're tracking on budget. If you want to talk to us directly, call 763-237-5114.

Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
| Material | Installed Cost Range (per sq ft) | Lifespan | Maintenance | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl Siding | $4 - $8 | 20 - 30 years | Low; fades over time | Budget-friendly, but doesn't match Edina's housing values |
| Fiber Cement (e.g., HardiePlank) | $8 - $14 | 30 - 50 years | Repaint every 10 - 15 years | Our default pick for most Edina projects |
| Engineered Wood | $7 - $12 | 25 - 35 years | Repaint every 8 - 12 years | Great accent material for gables and shakes |
| Natural Stone Veneer | $15 - $30 | 50+ years | Very low | Best as a wainscot or entry accent, not full coverage |
| Metal Panel | $10 - $18 | 40+ years | Minimal | Works for modern or contemporary redesigns |
For most Edina homes, we recommend fiber cement as the primary cladding because it handles Minnesota's temperature swings without warping, and it holds paint far longer than wood. Curb appeal projects consistently return the highest value among home improvements, and fiber cement paired with a stone or engineered wood accent gives you that "as-new" look that competes with the $2M+ new builds going up nearby. Pricing will vary by project scope, and your written estimate from us will confirm exact numbers.

Common Questions Before Hiring NorBrook in Edina, MN
How much does a full exterior remodel cost in Edina?
A whole-home exterior project in Edina typically runs between $40,000 and $120,000 depending on the size of the home, materials selected, and whether we're adding architectural details like stone accents or new entry doors. Your written estimate from us breaks down every line item so there are no surprises.
How long will my project take?
Most full-elevation remodels take four to eight weeks from tear-off to final punch list. Weather delays can extend that window in spring or late fall, but your project manager will keep you posted on scheduling shifts as they happen.
Do I need a permit for siding replacement in Edina?
Yes, if we're changing the wall assembly or switching materials, Edina requires a building permit. We handle the permit application, fee payment, and inspection scheduling as part of our scope.
What happens at the first appointment?
We walk your home's exterior together, photograph every elevation, discuss what you want to change, and talk through material and budget options. You'll receive a written estimate within a week of that visit, and there's no obligation.
Are you licensed to work on older Edina homes with lead paint?
We are. Our EPA lead-safe certification (LFC-281) covers work on any pre-1978 home where painted surfaces will be disturbed. We follow all containment and disposal protocols required by federal and state law.
Do you offer financing?
We don't provide financing directly, but we work with homeowners who use home equity lines or renovation loans, and we can structure payment schedules around your lender's draw process.
Every household is different, so we start with what you actually own and who counts on you, then build coverage around it.

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.
