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.
Chanhassen homeowners deal with some of the most active hail corridors in the Upper Midwest, and that reality shapes every roofing decision you'll make this year.

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 Alley Claims on 1990s Two-Stories
Chanhassen sits squarely inside what adjusters call "Hail Alley," and the local hail history confirms frequent damaging storms rolling through Carver County. The housing stock that keeps us busiest is the wave of two-story homes built in the mid-to-late 1990s across neighborhoods like Lyman Shores, Audubon Heights, and the areas west of Highway 101. These homes typically carry three-tab shingles on steep 8/12 or 10/12 pitches with multiple dormers, valleys, and pipe boots that are now well past their expected lifespan.
Our process on a hail-claim two-story starts with a free inspection and a damage report we share directly with your insurance adjuster. We photograph every elevation, mark impact points on a roof diagram, and note the existing ventilation setup, which on these 1990s builds is almost always undersized by current code. Once the claim is approved, our crews strip to the deck, re-sheet any soft spots with OSB, install ice-and-water shield in the valleys and along eaves per current Chanhassen building permit requirements, and lay architectural shingles rated for Class 4 impact resistance. We sequence the tear-off and install in a single day on most two-stories, which matters when Minnesota's severe weather events can stack up fast between May and September.

Association Townhome Roofing
Townhome associations in Chanhassen present a different kind of project. Communities like Powers Ridge, Arbor Glen, and the clusters along West 78th Street typically need 20 to 60 units re-roofed in a coordinated schedule that doesn't leave half the complex exposed overnight. We work directly with the HOA board and property manager to phase the job building by building, handling dumpster placement, parking restrictions, and resident communication before we pull a single shingle.
The permitting side is straightforward but specific: Chanhassen requires a permit for each address, even within a multi-unit association, and our office handles every application so the board doesn't have to chase paperwork. Color matching across buildings is another sticking point we solve early. We pull physical samples from multiple manufacturers and present them at a board meeting so the decision is locked in before ordering. Our crews maintain consistent nailing patterns and ventilation specs across every unit, which prevents the patchwork look that plagues associations where different contractors worked different phases. A dedicated NorBrook project manager sends the board weekly progress updates with photos so there are no surprises at the next HOA meeting.

Why Homeowners Hire NorBrook Construction
We carry Minnesota residential building contractor license BC80875, which you can verify through the Minnesota DLI license lookup. For any Chanhassen home built before 1978, our EPA lead-safe certification LFC-281 is required by federal law before disturbing painted surfaces, and we hold it. Co-founder Seth Norling is OSHA 30 trained, meaning our job-site safety standards go well beyond the minimum.
NorBrook was founded by brothers Robb and Seth Norling alongside Charlie Brookins, and we operate from Maple Plain. Every roofing project gets a dedicated project manager who provides daily or weekly updates depending on the scope, so you're never guessing what's happening on your own roof. If you'd rather talk to a person than fill out a form, call us at 763-237-5114.

Do you work on homes with lead paint?
Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
| Material | Typical Lifespan | Impact Resistance | Cost Range (2,200 sq ft) | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Tab Asphalt | 15-20 years | Class 1-2 | $10,000-$13,000 | We don't install these anymore; the insurance math doesn't work in Hail Alley. |
| Architectural Asphalt (Class 4) | 25-30 years | Class 4 | $14,000-$19,000 | Our default for most Chanhassen homes. Best balance of cost, durability, and insurance discount. |
| Synthetic Slate/Shake | 40-50 years | Class 4 | $22,000-$30,000 | Worth it for high-visibility homes where aesthetics and longevity both matter. |
| Standing Seam Metal | 40-60 years | Class 4 | $28,000-$40,000 | Excellent long-term value, but HOA restrictions in many Chanhassen neighborhoods limit use. |
For most Chanhassen projects, we recommend Class 4 architectural shingles. They qualify for insurance premium discounts that are meaningful in Minnesota, where homeowner premiums have been climbing sharply. The upfront cost over three-tab is modest, and the hail warranty pays for itself in a market where the roofing industry continues to see material price increases.

Common Questions Before Hiring NorBrook in Chanhassen, MN
How much does a roof replacement cost in Chanhassen?
A full asphalt shingle roof replacement for a typical 2,200 sq. ft. home in the Twin Cities averages between $12,000 and $19,000 depending on material grade, pitch, and access. Our written estimate confirms the exact number after we measure your roof in person.
How long does the job take?
Most single-family tear-off-and-replace projects take one to two days. Townhome association phases run longer depending on the number of units. Your project manager will give you a specific start date and expected completion before we begin.
What warranty do I get?
You receive the manufacturer's shingle warranty, which runs 25 to 50 years depending on the product, plus our workmanship warranty covering installation. We'll walk you through both in writing before you sign anything.
Do I need a permit in Chanhassen?
Yes. Chanhassen requires a building permit for roof replacements. We handle the application, schedule the inspection, and make sure everything passes before we call the job complete.
Do you work with insurance companies?
We do. Our inspection report and damage documentation are formatted for adjusters, and we've coordinated hundreds of claims. We don't inflate scope or play games with supplements; we document what's there and price the repair honestly.
What happens at the first appointment?
One of our project managers meets you at the property, inspects the roof from the ladder and the ground, checks the attic ventilation, and reviews your concerns. You'll get a written estimate within a few days, sometimes the same evening

| Heating | Forced-air gas furnace | In-floor radiant | Air-source heat pump | Forced-air gas with zoning: reliable in extreme cold, pairs well with central AC, lowest install cost |
| Exterior | LP SmartSide | Fiber cement (Hardie) | Natural wood | LP SmartSide for most projects: excellent freeze-thaw performance, lower install cost than fiber cement |

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.
