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
Lot Selection in Minnesota
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.
Minnesota's weather doesn't wait for anyone, and neither should your roof. If you're a homeowner looking for a reliable roofing contractor in Minnesota, what matters most is finding a crew that knows the local conditions and shows up ready to work.

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.

Hail and Wind Claims in Minnesota
Minnesota ranks among the top states for severe hail and wind events, and storm-related roof claim costs have hit record highs in recent years. Our crews see the aftermath firsthand: split shingles, cracked ridge caps, lifted flashing, and granule loss that exposes the mat underneath. The housing stock across Hennepin, Wright, and Carver counties includes a lot of 1990s and early 2000s builds with three-tab shingles that are especially vulnerable to impact damage.
When we handle a storm damage job, we start with a thorough inspection and document every damaged area with photos for your insurance adjuster. We pull permits through the local jurisdiction, strip the damaged sections or the full deck depending on the scope, and install ice and water shield along eaves and valleys per Minnesota's building code requirements. Our project managers coordinate directly with your insurance company's timeline so nothing stalls. The demand for skilled construction trades in Minnesota remains strong, which means scheduling matters: we lock in your project dates early and hold to them.

Ice Dam Prevention in Minnesota
Ice dams cost Minnesota homeowners thousands of dollars every winter, and the root cause is almost always inadequate attic ventilation paired with poor insulation. We've torn off roofs where the previous installer skipped soffit venting entirely or crushed batt insulation against the roof deck, blocking airflow. That trapped heat melts snow on the upper roof, and the melt refreezes at the eaves, backing water under the shingles and into the structure.
Our approach treats the whole system, not just the shingles. We verify that soffit and ridge venting meet the 1:150 ratio (or 1:300 with balanced intake and exhaust) required for proper attic airflow. We install ice and water shield membrane a minimum of 24 inches past the interior wall line, which exceeds what some contractors do but matches what Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles actually demand. On homes with complex rooflines or dormers, we extend that coverage further. If we spot insulation problems during tear-off, we flag them and can coordinate blown-in insulation work before the new roof goes on. This full-system perspective on roofing is what separates a roof that lasts from one that fails in three winters.

Why Homeowners Hire NorBrook Construction
We hold Minnesota residential building contractor license BC80875, verifiable through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry license lookup. For homes built before 1978, we carry EPA lead-safe certification LFC-281, which is required by federal law for any renovation that disturbs painted surfaces. Co-founder Seth Norling holds OSHA 30 certification, and that safety-first mindset runs through every crew we put on a roof.
NorBrook was founded by brothers Robb and Seth Norling alongside Charlie Brookins. We operate out of Maple Plain and serve the western Twin Cities metro and surrounding areas. Every roofing project we take on is assigned a dedicated project manager who provides daily or weekly updates depending on the scope. You'll always know what's been completed, what's next, and whether anything needs your attention. If you want to talk to us directly, call 763-237-5114.

Do you work on homes with lead paint?
Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
| Material | Lifespan | Cost Range (2,200 sq ft) | Wind Rating | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Tab Asphalt | 15-20 years | $10,000-$14,000 | 60 mph | Budget option only; we rarely recommend for Minnesota's climate |
| Architectural Asphalt | 25-30 years | $12,000-$18,000 | 110-130 mph | Our default for most Minnesota homes: best balance of cost, durability, and wind resistance |
| Metal Standing Seam | 40-60 years | $22,000-$35,000 | 140+ mph | Excellent for ice dam prone roofs and long-term ownership |
| Synthetic Slate/Shake | 30-50 years | $18,000-$28,000 | 110 mph | Good for historic aesthetics without natural material maintenance |
For most Minnesota homeowners, we recommend architectural asphalt shingles with a Class 4 impact rating. A typical replacement on a 2,200-square-foot home falls between $12,000 and $18,000 depending on the shingle line and complexity of the roof. The impact rating matters here: Class 4 shingles often qualify for insurance premium discounts that help offset the slightly higher material cost.

Common Questions Before Hiring NorBrook in Minnesota
How much does a roof replacement cost? For a standard 2,200-square-foot home, expect $12,000 to $25,000 depending on material choice and roof complexity. We provide a written estimate after our inspection that locks in the price.
How long does a roof replacement take? Most residential tear-off and re-roof jobs take two to four days of active work. Weather delays can extend that, but our project manager keeps you updated on any schedule changes.
What warranty do I get? You receive the manufacturer's material warranty (typically 25 to 50 years depending on the product) plus our workmanship warranty. We'll walk you through the specifics in your estimate so there are no surprises.
Are you properly licensed for roofing work in Minnesota? Yes. We hold Minnesota residential building contractor license BC80875. You can verify this through the Minnesota DLI contractor license lookup. We also carry full liability and workers' compensation insurance.
What areas do you serve? We're based in Maple Plain and serve the western Twin Cities metro, including communities across Hennepin, Wright, Carver, and Scott counties. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, call us at 763-237-5114.
What happens at the first appointment? We schedule a free inspection where we assess your roof's condition from the ground and, when safe, from the roof itself. We photograph any damage or wear, discuss your options on-site, and follow up with a written estimate within a few days.
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.
