Written scopes and line-item estimates before any work begins.
Yes. Our EPA lead-safe certification LFC-281 means we follow federal RRP (Renovation, Repair, and Painting) rules for containment, cleanup, and disposal on any home built before 1978. Many Maple Plain homes fall into that era, and we are equipped to handle them properly.
Common Questions Before Hiring NorBrook in Maple Plain, MN
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 handle exterior remodeling in Shoreview, MN for homeowners who need siding, roofing, windows, or full-envelope upgrades done right the first time. If your home's exterior is showing its age, the fix isn't a patchwork of separate contractors: it's one crew with one plan.

Our clients in Shoreview are typically owners of 1970s-to-1990s-era homes who've hit the point where individual repairs no longer make sense and a coordinated exterior overhaul saves money and headaches.

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 Refreshes on Maturing Stock
Shoreview's housing stock tells a specific story. Most neighborhoods between Hodgson Road and Lexington Avenue were built in the late 1970s and 1980s, which means original cedar lap siding, double-hung wood windows, and three-tab asphalt roofs that have long since passed their useful life. The city itself runs Project S.H.I.N.E., a neighborhood enhancement inspection program designed to educate residents on property maintenance standards, so keeping your exterior in code-compliant shape isn't just cosmetic: it's a civic expectation.
Our crews approach a whole-exterior refresh in a deliberate sequence. We strip roofing first, because that work can damage siding and trim below. Once the roof deck is inspected and any rotted sheathing is replaced, we install the new roof system. Siding comes next, followed by window and door flashing integration. This order matters because each layer's weather barrier ties into the one above it. In Shoreview's clay-heavy soil, we also watch for grade issues along foundations that trap moisture against the bottom courses of siding: a problem we see on nearly every split-level and rambler in the area.
Every household is different, so we start with what you actually own and who counts on you, then build coverage around it.

Roof-Siding-Window Packages
Bundling your roof, siding, and windows into a single project isn't just convenient: it's cheaper per component and produces a tighter building envelope. We price Shoreview packages as a single scope so you're not paying three separate mobilization costs, three dumpster pulls, and three rounds of permit fees with Ramsey County.
Here's what that looks like in practice. Our project manager walks the property, documents every elevation with photos, and builds a line-item estimate. If the home was built before 1978, our EPA lead-safe certification (LFC-281) means we can handle any lead paint encountered during siding or window removal without subbing that work out. Most Shoreview homes in the Island Lake and Turtle Lake neighborhoods fall right on the edge of that 1978 cutoff, so this matters more often than you'd think. We coordinate material deliveries to minimize the time your yard is a staging area, and we aim to keep a typical three-bedroom rambler's full exterior package inside a three-to-four-week window, weather permitting.

Why Homeowners Hire NorBrook Construction
We get hired because we show up with credentials that can be verified, not just claimed. Our Minnesota residential building contractor license is BC80875: you can confirm it through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry's online lookup. We carry EPA lead-safe renovator certification LFC-281, which is required by federal law for any disturbance of lead paint on pre-1978 homes. Co-founder Seth Norling holds OSHA 30 certification, and that safety-first mindset runs through every crew we field.
NorBrook was founded by brothers Robb and Seth Norling alongside Charlie Brookins, and we operate from Maple Plain. Every Shoreview project gets a dedicated project manager who provides daily or weekly updates depending on the phase of work. You won't chase down answers: they come to you. If you want to talk scope before we even schedule a site visit, call us at 763-237-5114.

Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
| Component | Budget Option | Mid-Range Option | Premium Option | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roofing | Architectural asphalt shingles (25-yr) | High-profile asphalt shingles (50-yr) | Steel standing seam | High-profile asphalt: best cost-to-lifespan ratio for Shoreview's freeze-thaw cycles |
| Siding | Vinyl (0.042" thickness) | Insulated vinyl (0.046"+foam) | Fiber cement | Insulated vinyl for most budgets; fiber cement if you want a 30+ year material |
| Windows | Dual-pane vinyl, builder grade | Dual-pane vinyl, low-E with argon | Triple-pane fiberglass | Dual-pane low-E with argon: triple-pane payback is slow in Shoreview's moderate heating loads |
For most Shoreview exterior remodels, we default to the mid-range column. It hits the sweet spot between upfront cost and long-term performance. The premium tier makes sense on lakeside properties or homes where the owner plans to stay fifteen-plus years, but for a typical rambler or split-level, mid-range materials outperform their price point by a wide margin.

A For a typical 2,000-square-foot home, you can expect to pay between $18,000 and $45,000 depending on material, the condition of your sheathing, and the complexity of your home's exterior. Minnesota siding costs vary based on material grade and labor, and our written estimate will confirm the exact number for your home after we inspect it.

Yes. We manage the full permitting process with the local building department, including structural, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing permits. Minnesota requires plan review for commercial and assembly-use buildings, and churches fall into assembly occupancy. We coordinate all inspections so your building committee doesn't have to chase paperwork.
What areas of Minnesota do you serve?
Absolutely. Many congregations already have an architect or denominational design guidelines. We collaborate with your architect through the design-build process, providing constructability input and value engineering to keep the project within budget. If you don't have an architect yet, we can recommend firms with church and educational facility experience in Minnesota.
Common Questions Before Hiring NorBrook in Shoreview, MN

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.
