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.

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.

1970s-1980s Re-Roof Cycles
Burnsville's housing stock exploded during the 1970s and early 1980s. Neighborhoods like Lac Lavon, Nicollet Knoll, and large stretches along Cliff Road were built in that era, and many of those homes are now on their second or third roof. The original cedar shakes and three-tab shingles are long gone, but we still find layered roofing on these properties: a second layer nailed over the first, sometimes with questionable flashing work underneath.
Our standard approach on these homes is a full tear-off down to the deck. We inspect every sheet of plywood for rot, soft spots, and delamination before laying new underlayment. Burnsville requires a building permit for all roofing projects, including a unique mandate to email photos of the ice and water barrier to the Building Inspections Department before shingle installation begins. We handle that documentation as part of our process so you don't have to chase inspectors.
The 1970s-era homes also tend to have lower roof pitches (4/12 or 5/12), which means ice damming is a real concern. We install ice and water shield a minimum of six feet from the eave edge on these slopes, often going further depending on the roof geometry and attic ventilation we find during tear-off.

Minnesota River Bluff Winds
Burnsville sits along the Minnesota River valley, and homes on the bluffs south of Highway 13 take a beating from channeled winds that funnel up the valley. Wind speeds at the ridge line of a bluff-facing home can be meaningfully higher than what a house two blocks inland experiences. We see this in the damage patterns: lifted shingles along rakes and ridges, blown-off ridge caps, and loosened drip edge on the windward side.
On bluff-exposed properties, our crews use six-nail patterns instead of the standard four and specify shingles rated for 130 mph wind resistance. We also pay close attention to the starter strip along eaves and rakes, using a high-wind starter that bonds to the first course. The Twin Cities hail and storm history from 2020 through 2026 shows that wind events often accompany hail in this corridor, which means we're frequently dealing with combination damage on these bluff-side homes. Our project managers photograph every elevation before and after work so insurance claims have clear documentation.

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 license lookup. For homes built before 1978, we hold EPA lead-safe certification LFC-281, which is required any time renovation work disturbs painted surfaces on older structures.
Safety on the job site matters to us personally. Co-founder Seth Norling holds an OSHA 30 certification and built our safety protocols from the ground up. He and his brother Robb Norling founded NorBrook alongside Charlie Brookins, and the three of them still oversee operations from our Maple Plain office.
Every roofing project we take on in Burnsville gets a dedicated project manager who provides daily or weekly updates depending on the scope. You'll have one point of contact from estimate through final walkthrough. If you want to talk before filling out a form, call us at 763-237-5114.

Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
| Material | Typical Lifespan | Approximate Cost (per sq ft installed) | Wind Rating | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Tab Asphalt | 15-20 years | $3.50-$4.50 | 60-70 mph | We rarely recommend these; the savings don't justify the shorter life in Minnesota's climate. |
| Architectural Asphalt | 25-30 years | $4.50-$6.50 | 110-130 mph | Our default for most Burnsville homes. Best balance of cost, durability, and wind resistance. |
| Synthetic Slate/Shake | 40-50 years | $8.00-$12.00 | 110+ mph | Worth considering for bluff-exposed homes or owners who want a premium look without natural material maintenance. |
| Standing Seam Metal | 40-60 years | $10.00-$16.00 | 140+ mph | Excellent for low-slope sections and bluff properties; higher upfront cost pays off over time. |
For the majority of Burnsville projects, we recommend architectural asphalt shingles in the 130 mph wind-rated class. They handle freeze-thaw cycles well, they're compatible with the ice and water shield requirements Burnsville enforces, and the installed cost keeps most full re-roofs in a range homeowners can absorb. If your home sits on the river bluffs or you plan to stay for 20-plus years, standing seam metal on low-slope sections paired with architectural shingles elsewhere gives you the best of both worlds.

Common Questions Before Hiring NorBrook in Burnsville, MN
How much does a roof replacement in Burnsville typically cost?
Most single-family re-roofs we complete in Burnsville fall between $12,000 and $28,000, depending on roof size, pitch, material choice, and how much deck repair we find during tear-off. Your written estimate will confirm the exact number after our inspection.
How long does the project take?
A standard architectural shingle re-roof on a Burnsville home takes two to four days of on-site work. Weather delays can push that out, but our project manager will keep you updated if the schedule shifts.
What happens at the first appointment?
We walk the property, photograph every roof plane, check the attic for ventilation and moisture issues, and measure the roof. You'll receive a written estimate within a few days that breaks down materials, labor, and permit costs. The residential building permit process in Burnsville is something we handle on your behalf.
Do you work with insurance on storm damage claims?
Yes. We document damage with photos and measurements that match what adjusters need. We don't inflate claims, and we don't pressure you into work you don't need. Recent changes to hail claim coverage in Minnesota make accurate documentation more important than ever.
Are you licensed for roofing work in Burnsville?
We hold Minnesota license BC80875 and pull all required Burnsville permits before any work starts. We're also EPA lead-safe certified (LFC-281) for pre-1978 homes.
Do you serve areas outside Burnsville?
We work across the Twin Cities metro from our base in Maple Plain. Burnsville is well within our regular service area.

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.
