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 homeowners replacing windows and doors face a unique set of challenges: brutal cold, ice dams, and energy codes that are among the strictest in the country. Getting the job done right means more than picking a product off a showroom floor. It means understanding how materials, installation methods, and local building science all work together in a climate that regularly drops below zero.
Edina homeowners spend serious money on their roofs, and choosing the right crew matters more than choosing the right shingle. Here's how we approach roofing projects in one of Minnesota's most distinctive housing markets.
Roofing Contractor in Edina, MN: What NorBrook Construction Does for You
We're NorBrook Construction, a licensed roofing contractor serving Edina, MN, and we handle everything from full tear-offs and re-roofs to storm damage repairs and cedar-to-composite conversions. Our Minnesota residential building contractor license is BC80875, and we're based out of Maple Plain. We work primarily with single-family homeowners across Edina's established neighborhoods: the Country Club District, Morningside, Countryside, and the homes along Minnehaha Creek.
Our crews perform complete roof system installations, not just shingle swaps. That means ice and water shield, ventilation corrections, fascia and soffit repairs, and flashing details that actually hold up through freeze-thaw cycles. Whether you own a 1920s Tudor near Wooddale or a 1990s colonial off France Avenue, we build the scope around your home's specific needs and walk you through it 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.

Cedar-to-Composite Conversions in the Country Club District
The Country Club District is full of homes built between the 1920s and 1950s with original or second-generation cedar shake roofs. Those shakes gave these homes their character, but after 25 to 40 years they curl, split, and lose their fire resistance. We've converted dozens of cedar roofs in this neighborhood to composite shake products that replicate the look without the maintenance burden.
The process starts with a full tear-off down to the deck. On older homes in this district, we frequently find skip sheathing: spaced boards instead of solid plywood. Our crews re-deck with OSB or CDX plywood before installing synthetic underlayment, which is a step some contractors skip but one that Minnesota's building code requires for proper roof assembly. For a typical $15,000 roof replacement in Edina, the permit fee runs approximately $315, and we pull that permit ourselves so inspections happen on schedule.
Because many Country Club homes sit on mature, tree-canopied lots, moss and debris accumulation is a real concern. We recommend composite shake with built-in algae resistance rather than natural cedar, which needs retreatment every few years to stay viable in shaded conditions.
Every household is different, so we start with what you actually own and who counts on you, then build coverage around it.

Steep-Pitch Craftsmanship
A good number of Edina's most recognizable homes feature steep roof pitches: 8/12, 10/12, sometimes steeper on Tudor-style gables. These roofs look striking, but they demand a different skill set than a standard 4/12 ranch roof. Our crews use specialized staging and toe-board systems on pitches above 7/12, and every steep-pitch job gets a site-specific safety plan reviewed by our OSHA 30 trained leadership.
Steep roofs shed water fast, which is an advantage. The trade-off is that installation errors show more, and wind uplift forces increase with pitch. We use six-nail patterns on steep sections instead of the standard four, and we hand-nail ridge caps and hip shingles rather than using pneumatic guns that can overdrive fasteners on angled surfaces. Flashing at dormers and sidewalls gets particular attention because steep pitches channel water at higher velocity toward those transition points.
What this means for you as a homeowner: a steep roof costs more to install correctly, typically 15 to 25 percent above a standard-pitch project of the same square footage. But done right, it also lasts longer because water never pools.

Why Homeowners Hire NorBrook Construction
We carry Minnesota residential building contractor license BC80875, which you can verify through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry license lookup. For pre-1978 homes, and Edina has plenty, we hold EPA lead-safe certification LFC-281, which is required for any renovation that disturbs painted surfaces on older structures.
Safety isn't a talking point for us: it's built into how we operate. Co-founder Seth Norling holds OSHA 30 certification, and that training filters down to every job site. Seth founded NorBrook alongside his brother Robb Norling and Charlie Brookins, and the three of them still review project scopes before we commit to a timeline.
Every roofing project gets a dedicated project manager who provides daily or weekly updates depending on the job's complexity. You'll know what happened today, what's planned for tomorrow, and whether anything changed. If you want to talk to a person instead of reading an update, call us directly at 763-237-5114.

Do you work on homes with lead paint?
Here's how the real siding options stack up for a Minnesota home:
Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
| Material | Lifespan | Cost Range (per sq ft installed) | Best For | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Tab Asphalt | 15-20 years | $3.50-$4.50 | Budget-conscious, simple rooflines | Acceptable for rental properties; not our first choice for owner-occupied homes |
| Architectural Asphalt | 25-30 years | $4.50-$6.50 | Most Edina homes | Our default recommendation: best balance of cost, durability, and curb appeal |
| Composite Shake | 30-50 years | $7.00-$10.00 | Cedar conversions, historic character | Ideal for Country Club and Morningside homes replacing aged cedar |
| Standing Seam Metal | 40-60 years | $10.00-$15.00 | Modern builds, low-slope sections | Great for specific applications; not always appropriate for traditional Edina architecture |
| Impact-Resistant (Class 4) | 25-30 years | $5.50-$8.00 | Hail-prone areas, insurance savings | Worth considering: many insurers offer premium discounts for Class 4 shingles |
For most Edina roofing projects, we recommend architectural asphalt shingles with a Class 4 impact rating. You get strong hail performance, a 25- to 30-year lifespan, and potential insurance savings that offset the higher upfront cost within a few years. If your home currently has cedar and you want to preserve that aesthetic, composite shake is the move.

A typical single-family roof takes three to five working days from tear-off to cleanup. Association projects take longer depending on the number of buildings, but we phase the work so each unit is watertight before we move to the next. Your project manager will give you a specific timeline in the estimate.

Common Questions Before Hiring NorBrook in Edina, MN
How much does a roof replacement in Edina typically cost?
Most full replacements on Edina homes fall between $12,000 and $28,000, depending on pitch, material choice, and whether we need to address decking or ventilation issues. Our written estimate breaks down every line item so there are no surprises.
How long will the project take?
A standard re-roof on a single-family home takes three to five working days. Steep-pitch homes or cedar conversions requiring full re-decking can extend to six or seven days. Weather delays are always possible in Minnesota, and we build buffer into the schedule.
What warranty do I get?
You receive the manufacturer's material warranty, which ranges from 25 years to lifetime depending on the product, plus our workmanship warranty covering installation. We'll spell out both in your contract before any work starts.
Do I need to be home during the work?
No. We coordinate access and staging before the project begins, and your project manager sends updates throughout. Most homeowners go about their normal routine while we work.
Are you licensed to work in Edina?
Yes. Our Minnesota contractor license BC80875 covers residential work statewide, and we pull Edina-specific building permits for every roofing job. The city inspects the completed work, and we handle that scheduling.
What happens at the first appointment?
We walk your roof, inspect the attic for ventilation and moisture issues, photograph problem areas, and sit down with you to discuss options. You'll receive a written estimate within a few days, typically sooner.
Every household is different, so we start with what you actually own and who counts on you, then build coverage around it.

Do you work on homes with lead paint?
| Decision | Option A | Option B | Option C | NorBrook Recommends |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foundation | Poured concrete walls | Block foundation | ICF (insulated concrete forms) | Poured concrete for most builds: strongest, fastest to waterproof, best long-term value in MN soils |
| Framing | Stick-built 2x6 | Structural insulated panels (SIPs) | Steel framing | Stick-built 2x6 walls: proven in our climate, easy to insulate to R-21+, flexible for custom layouts |
| 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.
