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-Property Exterior Projects
Greenfield sits in a part of western Hennepin County where homes range from 1970s-era ramblers on wooded lots to newer construction on open, wind-exposed acreage. That mix matters because a whole-property exterior project on a 1975 split-level with original cedar siding is a fundamentally different job than re-cladding a 2005 home with failing LP SmartSide. Our crews start with a full substrate inspection: we pull sample sections of existing siding to check sheathing condition, evaluate ice-dam history along eaves, and look for moisture intrusion around window flanges.
Sequencing on a whole-property job follows a strict order. We strip and address roofing first, then move to windows, then siding, and finish with trim, soffits, and fascia. This prevents us from cutting into new siding to flash a window we should have replaced first. Greenfield's building permit process runs through the city, and we handle that paperwork directly. Homes on larger lots here often have detached garages, pole buildings, or covered porches that need to match the house, so we plan material orders to cover those structures in the same production run to keep color lots consistent.
Every household is different, so we start with what you actually own and who counts on you, then build coverage around it.

Matching House in Greenfield, MN
One of the most common calls we get from Greenfield homeowners is some version of "I need to match what's already there." Maybe a tree fell and damaged two walls of siding, or a garage addition needs to blend with the original house. Color-matching old siding is harder than most people expect. Manufacturers discontinue profiles and colors regularly, and even the same product fades differently depending on which direction it faces.
We keep a library of discontinued siding samples and work directly with distributors who stock legacy profiles from LP, CertainTeed, and Mastic. When an exact match is impossible, we'll recommend re-siding the most visible elevations so the new material reads as intentional rather than patched. On homes where the original siding is still in production, we order from the same plant run and install test sections before committing to full walls. Greenfield's housing stock includes a fair number of homes with mixed materials: brick on the front, vinyl on the sides. We plan transitions at inside corners or natural break points so the seam disappears. Eligible Greenfield residents can also access 0% interest loans up to $30,000 for essential home repairs through county-funded programs, which can help offset costs when matching or replacing exterior materials.

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 any Greenfield home built before 1978, our EPA lead-safe certification LFC-281 means we follow required containment and disposal protocols during siding and window removal. Co-founder Seth Norling holds OSHA 30 certification, and that training shapes how our crews manage jobsite safety on every project.
NorBrook was founded by brothers Robb and Seth Norling alongside Charlie Brookins, and we're based in Maple Plain. Every exterior remodel we take on gets a dedicated project manager who provides daily or weekly updates depending on the phase of work. You won't chase us for information. If you want to talk scope before anything else, call us at 763-237-5114.

Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
| Material | Lifespan | Cost per sq ft (installed) | Maintenance | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl siding | 20-30 years | $4-$8 | Low: occasional washing | Good budget option for protected elevations |
| Fiber cement (e.g., Hardie) | 30-50 years | $8-$14 | Repaint every 10-15 years | Our default pick for most Greenfield homes |
| Engineered wood (LP SmartSide) | 25-35 years | $6-$11 | Repaint every 8-12 years | Strong choice where a wood look matters |
| Steel siding | 40+ years | $9-$15 | Very low | Best for high-wind, open-lot properties |
For most Greenfield projects, we recommend fiber cement siding. It handles Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles without warping, resists woodpecker damage (a real issue on wooded lots here), and holds paint well. Homeowners exploring home improvement financing through Minnesota Housing will find that fiber cement's long lifespan makes it a strong return on investment. On properties with significant wind exposure, steel siding is worth the higher upfront cost.

Common Questions Before Hiring NorBrook in Greenfield, MN
How much does exterior remodeling cost in Greenfield?
A full siding replacement on a typical Greenfield home runs between $18,000 and $45,000 depending on material, square footage, and whether we're also replacing windows or trim. Whole-property projects that include roofing, siding, windows, and trim can range from $40,000 to $90,000. Your written estimate from us will confirm exact numbers after we measure and inspect.
How long will my project take?
A siding-only job on a standard-size home typically takes two to three weeks. Whole-property exterior remodels run four to eight weeks depending on scope and weather. We build weather delays into our schedule so we're not making promises we can't keep.
What warranty do I get?
You receive manufacturer warranties on all materials, which vary by product. Our workmanship warranty covers installation defects. We'll spell out both in your contract before any work starts.
Do I need to be home during the work?
No. Most homeowners go about their normal routine. Your dedicated project manager will send photo updates and flag anything that needs your input. We secure the jobsite at the end of every work day.
Can I finance exterior remodeling?
Yes. Beyond our standard payment terms, homeowners in Greenfield may qualify for USDA Single Family Housing Repair loans or county-level housing grants that can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs. We're happy to discuss timing your project around funding approvals.
What happens at the first appointment?
We walk your property together, inspect current materials, discuss what you want to change, and take measurements. Within a few days, you'll receive a written estimate with material options, a project timeline, and total cost. No pressure, no same-day signing tactics.
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.
