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 Plain homeowners looking to update their home's exterior are sitting on real equity: the median home sale price here hit $430,000 in 2026, up 17.6% year over year. That kind of appreciation makes protecting and improving your exterior a smart financial move, not just a cosmetic one.

Cities We Serve in the West Metro

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.

Refreshing Downtown-Adjacent Homes
The homes closest to downtown Maple Plain tend to be older stock: split-levels, ramblers, and Cape Cods built between the 1950s and 1970s. Many still have their original cedar lap siding or first-generation vinyl that's cracking, fading, or trapping moisture behind outdated housewrap. Our crews start every downtown-adjacent project with a full sheathing inspection, because fifty-plus years of freeze-thaw cycles along the relatively flat terrain near Maple Plain's core can leave OSB or plywood soft in spots you can't see from the curb.
We typically strip siding down to sheathing, replace any compromised sections, install a modern weather-resistant barrier, and then apply new cladding. Permit requirements through Hennepin County are straightforward for re-siding, but if we're changing window sizes or adding any structural elements, we pull the appropriate permits and schedule inspections ourselves. For homes built before 1978, our EPA lead-safe certification (LFC-281) means we follow strict containment protocols during tear-off so lead paint dust doesn't contaminate your yard or your neighbor's. These older homes deserve careful handling, and that's exactly what we provide.

Pairing Roof and Siding Replacement
If your roof is within a few years of needing replacement, doing both at once saves real money. Here's why: when we replace a roof, we have to pull back the siding at the roofline to properly flash the drip edge and install ice-and-water shield along the eaves. If your siding is new but your roof is old, that means disturbing finished work later. Sequencing matters, and we always recommend starting with the roof, then working down.
Maple Plain gets roughly 55 inches of snow annually, and wind-driven rain off the open agricultural land to the west hits homes hard. We specify siding materials rated for Minnesota's temperature swings, and our roofing installs include ice-and-water membrane extending a minimum of six feet from the eave edge, exceeding code minimums. Bundling these two projects typically shaves 10-15% off what you'd pay scheduling them separately, because we mobilize scaffolding and dumpsters once instead of twice. Our project managers coordinate the material deliveries so crews aren't waiting around, which keeps your timeline tight and your yard disrupted for the shortest window possible.

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's online license lookup. For any home built before 1978, our EPA lead-safe certification LFC-281 ensures we handle hazardous materials correctly during demolition and removal.
Safety isn't a talking point for us: it's structural. Co-founder Seth Norling holds an OSHA 30 certification, and that training shapes how we run every job site, from fall protection protocols to debris management. Seth founded NorBrook alongside his brother Robb Norling and Charlie Brookins, and we're based right in Maple Plain, not driving in from the metro.
Every project gets a dedicated project manager who provides daily or weekly updates depending on the scope. You'll always know what happened today, what's happening tomorrow, and whether we're on schedule. If you want to talk through a project before committing, call us at 763-237-5114.

Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
| Material | Lifespan | Approximate Cost (per sq ft installed) | Maintenance | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl Siding | 20-30 years | $4-$8 | Low: occasional washing | Good budget option; we recommend insulated vinyl for better energy performance |
| Fiber Cement | 30-50 years | $8-$14 | Moderate: repaint every 10-15 years | Our default recommendation for most Maple Plain homes: excellent durability in freeze-thaw |
| Engineered Wood | 25-35 years | $7-$12 | Moderate: seal every 5-7 years | Strong aesthetic appeal; works well on wooded lots near Lake Independence |
| Natural Cedar | 20-40 years | $10-$18 | High: stain every 3-5 years | Beautiful but labor-intensive; best for homeowners committed to upkeep |
For most exterior remodeling projects in Maple Plain, we recommend fiber cement siding. It handles Minnesota's temperature extremes without warping or cracking, and its cost-to-value ratio remains among the highest for exterior projects nationally. The upfront cost is moderate, and you won't be re-siding in fifteen years.

Common Questions Before Hiring NorBrook in Maple Plain, MN
How much does a full exterior remodel cost in Maple Plain?
A typical full exterior project, including siding and roofing, runs between $35,000 and $75,000 depending on home size, material choices, and whether we're replacing windows. Construction costs in the Minneapolis metro area, including Maple Plain, reflect regional labor and material pricing that we account for in every written estimate.
How long will the project take?
Most siding-only jobs take 1-3 weeks. A combined roof and siding replacement typically runs 3-5 weeks, weather permitting. Your dedicated project manager will give you a specific timeline before we start, and we update you if anything shifts.
What warranty do I get?
We provide a workmanship warranty on our labor, and the manufacturer's warranty covers the materials. Fiber cement siding, for example, typically carries a 30-year product warranty. Your written estimate spells out exactly what's covered.
Do I need to be home during the work?
No. We coordinate access and logistics before we start. Your project manager sends updates so you always know what's happening, whether you're home or at work.
What happens at the first appointment?
We walk your home's exterior together, discuss what you want to change, inspect the current condition of your siding, roofing, and trim, and take measurements. You'll get a written estimate within a few days. No pressure, no gimmicks. Exterior upgrades consistently rank among the highest-satisfaction home improvements, and we want you to feel confident before signing anything.

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.
