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.
We handle full roof replacements, storm damage repairs, and new construction roofing for homeowners across Greenfield, MN. NorBrook Construction is a licensed Minnesota residential building contractor (license BC80875), based in Maple Plain, and our crews work on everything from single-story ramblers to large acreage properties in the Greenfield area. Whether you need a tear-off and re-roof on an aging home or steel panels on an outbuilding, we're the team that shows up, pulls the permit, and stays in communication until the final inspection clears.
Roofing Contractor in Greenfield, MN: What NorBrook Construction Does for You
Greenfield sits in western Hennepin County, and the housing stock here looks nothing like a typical suburban grid. Many of the homes we work on are set on two-to-ten-acre lots with long ridge lines, steep pitches, and attached garages that push total roof area well past 3,000 square feet. We perform complete tear-offs, underlayment and ice-and-water shield installation, asphalt shingle and steel panel roofing, ventilation upgrades, and fascia and soffit replacement. Our clients in Greenfield are homeowners who want a contractor they can actually reach by phone, and that's exactly how we operate: one dedicated project manager per job, daily or weekly updates depending on the project phase, and the number to call if anything feels off is 763-237-5114.

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.

Long-Span Roofs on Acreage Homes
Greenfield's residential lots are large, and so are the roofs. A typical acreage home here has a main structure with a walkout lower level, an attached three-stall garage, and sometimes a breezeway connecting to a shop or barn. That means continuous ridge lines of 60 feet or more, and valleys that funnel snowmelt toward vulnerable intersections. Our crews sequence these jobs differently than a standard suburban re-roof. We start at the lowest eave and work upward in sections, staging materials on the roof deck rather than ground-loading everything, because the walk distances are too long to shuttle bundles efficiently.
Ice damming is a real concern on these long spans. We install ice-and-water shield a minimum of six feet up from every eave, and we extend it through every valley, which exceeds code minimums but reflects what we've seen actually fail during a hard freeze-thaw cycle. A building permit is required for every full roof replacement in Greenfield, and skipping it can result in double fees or a job shutdown. We pull that permit before a single shingle comes off, and we schedule the inspection so the homeowner never has to chase it down.
Every household is different, so we start with what you actually own and who counts on you, then build coverage around it.

Steel Roofing for Horse Properties
Greenfield has a significant number of horse properties, and the roofing needs on those parcels go beyond the house itself. Run-in sheds, hay barns, indoor arenas, and detached garages all need roofing that can handle hail, wind-driven rain, and the ammonia-heavy air that rises from stalls below. We install standing-seam steel and exposed-fastener steel panels on these structures, and the choice between the two comes down to budget and building use.
Standing-seam panels cost more but eliminate exposed fasteners that can back out over time from thermal cycling. For a heated barn or an arena where condensation is a factor, we pair the steel panels with a vapor barrier and ridge ventilation sized to the building's volume. On unheated run-in sheds, exposed-fastener panels at 29-gauge do the job well and keep costs reasonable. We match panel colors to the primary residence when the homeowner wants a unified look across the property, and we coordinate delivery timing with equine schedules so horses aren't spooked by a crane truck at 7 a.m. The city's building permit page confirms that accessory structures also require permits for roofing work, and we handle that paperwork as part of every project.

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 homes built before 1978, we hold EPA lead-safe certification LFC-281, which is required by federal law for any renovation that disturbs painted surfaces on older structures. Our co-founder Seth Norling holds OSHA 30 certification, and that training filters into every crew meeting and job-site safety plan we run.
NorBrook was founded by brothers Robb and Seth Norling along with Charlie Brookins, and we're based in Maple Plain, about 15 minutes from most Greenfield properties. Every roofing project gets a dedicated project manager who provides daily or weekly updates depending on job complexity. You'll have one point of contact from estimate through final inspection, and you can always reach 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 | Typical Lifespan | Cost Range (per sq ft, installed) | Best For | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Tab Asphalt | 15-20 years | $3.50-$4.50 | Budget-conscious, simple roof lines | Acceptable for detached garages or sheds, not our first pick for primary homes |
| Architectural Asphalt | 25-30 years | $4.50-$6.50 | Most Greenfield homes | Our default for residential re-roofs: best balance of cost, durability, and wind rating |
| Standing-Seam Steel | 40-60 years | $9.00-$14.00 | Horse barns, long-term homes, high-wind exposure | Ideal for outbuildings and homeowners planning to stay 20+ years |
| Exposed-Fastener Steel | 25-40 years | $5.00-$8.00 | Barns, sheds, agricultural buildings | Great value for unheated accessory structures |
For most Greenfield homes, we recommend architectural asphalt shingles with a 130+ mph wind rating. The price-to-performance ratio is hard to beat, and the product handles Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles well. If you're roofing a barn or plan to stay in the home long-term, standing-seam steel pays for itself over time.

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 Greenfield, MN
How much does a roof replacement cost in Greenfield? Most full replacements on Greenfield homes run between $12,000 and $35,000, depending on roof size, pitch, and material choice. Acreage homes with large footprints tend to land in the upper half of that range. Your written estimate from us will confirm the exact number.
How long will the job take? A typical residential re-roof takes three to five days of on-site work. Larger homes or steel panel installations may stretch to seven days. Weather delays can push timelines, but your project manager will keep you updated daily.
Do you handle the building permit? Yes. Greenfield requires a permit for all roof replacements, and we pull it, pay the fee, and schedule the final inspection. You don't need to visit city hall.
What warranty do I get? You receive the manufacturer's material warranty, which varies by product, plus our workmanship warranty covering installation defects. We'll walk through both documents before you sign anything.
What happens at the first appointment? We inspect the roof from the ground and, when safe, from the roof deck. We measure, photograph problem areas, check ventilation, and discuss your goals and budget. You'll receive a written estimate within a few days, and there's no cost or obligation.
Do you work on homes built before 1978? We do. Our EPA lead-safe certification (LFC-281) means we follow federal protocols for dust containment and disposal on older homes. This is a legal requirement, and we take it seriously.

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.
