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.
Maple Grove's housing stock tells a specific story: hundreds of two-story homes built during the 1990s construction boom, most now showing their age where it matters most.

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 Packages on 1990s Two-Stories
Maple Grove saw massive residential development through the 1990s, and those homes share a common DNA: vinyl siding over OSB sheathing, builder-grade double-hung windows, asphalt shingles rated for 20 to 25 years, and aluminum soffit and fascia. By 2026, most of those original materials are at or past their expected lifespan. We see the same failure patterns on nearly every inspection: curling shingles on south-facing roof planes, moisture intrusion behind lap siding where caulk joints have cracked, and fogged window seals that kill energy efficiency.
Our whole-exterior packages address these homes as a system rather than a piecemeal fix. We start with the roof, then move to siding, windows, and trim in a sequence that lets each trade protect the work below it. Typical two-story exteriors in Maple Grove run 2,000 to 2,800 square feet of wall area, and we plan material deliveries and dumpster placement around the narrower lot setbacks common in neighborhoods like Elm Creek, Arbor Lakes, and Weaver Lake. Hennepin County requires permits for exterior structural work, and we pull those before any demo begins. The freeze-thaw cycles here, often 30 or more per winter, make proper flashing and housewrap details non-negotiable. We install self-adhering ice and water shield at all roof valleys and eaves, which goes beyond code minimums but prevents the ice dam damage we've repaired too many times on these homes.

Storm-Response Coordination
Maple Grove sits in the path of severe weather that rolls across the western suburbs each summer. Hail, straight-line winds, and the occasional tornado-warned cell can damage an entire neighborhood in minutes. When that happens, our process kicks in fast. We get a crew out for a free damage assessment within 48 hours of your call, document everything with photos and measurements, and provide a written scope of work you can hand directly to your insurance adjuster.
Here's what that means for you: we handle the back-and-forth with your carrier so the claim reflects the actual cost of proper repairs, not the lowball estimate adjusters sometimes start with. Our project managers have worked enough Maple Grove storm claims to know the common sticking points, like whether damaged soffit vents need full replacement or just panel swaps, or whether hail-cracked siding qualifies for a full elevation replacement under your policy. We also coordinate with the city's building permit office to ensure emergency tarping and temporary repairs meet local requirements while permanent work is scheduled. Timing matters: Minnesota's building season is short, and storm season creates a bottleneck of contractors competing for materials and labor. We pre-order materials for confirmed projects to avoid the six-to-eight-week delays that catch homeowners off guard.

Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
| Material/System | Lifespan | Cost per Sq Ft (Installed) | Maintenance | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl Siding | 20-30 years | $4-$7 | Low: occasional washing | Good budget option; choose insulated vinyl for better energy performance |
| Fiber Cement (e.g., HardiPlank) | 30-50 years | $8-$13 | Repaint every 10-15 years | Our default pick for most Maple Grove homes: best balance of durability and curb appeal |
| Engineered Wood (LP SmartSide) | 25-35 years | $6-$10 | Repaint every 8-12 years | Strong mid-range choice, especially if you want a wood-grain look without real wood problems |
| Natural Cedar | 20-40 years | $10-$16 | Stain every 3-5 years | Beautiful but high-maintenance; only recommended if you'll commit to upkeep |
| Steel Siding | 40+ years | $9-$14 | Very low | Worth considering for maximum hail resistance, though color options are more limited |
For most Maple Grove exterior remodeling projects, we recommend fiber cement siding paired with architectural shingles rated for 130+ mph wind resistance. That combination handles Minnesota's temperature swings, hail exposure, and moisture better than alternatives at a similar price point. The catch is fiber cement costs more upfront than vinyl, but you recoup the difference in longevity and reduced maintenance over a typical homeownership period.

Common Questions Before Hiring NorBrook in Maple Grove, MN
How much does a full exterior remodel cost in Maple Grove?
Most whole-exterior projects on a standard two-story home fall between $35,000 and $75,000, depending on materials, square footage, and whether windows are included. We provide a written estimate after our on-site inspection that locks in your price.
How long will the project take?
A full siding and roofing job typically runs three to five weeks from start to finish. Roof-only projects are often done in two to four days. Weather delays can push timelines, but your project manager will keep you updated if anything shifts.
What warranty do I get?
We provide a workmanship warranty on all labor, and the manufacturer warranties on materials (often 30 to 50 years for siding and shingles) transfer to you. Your written estimate spells out the exact coverage.
Do I need to be home during the work?
No. Most homeowners go about their normal routines while our crews work. We coordinate access, dumpster placement, and daily cleanup so your property stays functional throughout the project.
Do you handle the building permits?
Yes. We pull all required Maple Grove building permits before work begins and schedule the necessary inspections. That cost is included in your estimate, not an add-on.
What happens at the first appointment?
We walk your home's exterior together, inspect the roof from a ladder or drone, photograph problem areas, and discuss what you want to accomplish. You'll receive a written estimate within a few business days, broken down by material and labor so nothing is hidden.
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.
