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
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.
Lakeville's south-metro housing boom means more roofs going up and more existing roofs reaching the end of their lifespan every year. If you're weighing your options, here's what we bring to the table and why it matters for your specific property.

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.

Warranty Roofing in the Metro's Fastest-Growing South Suburb
Lakeville's housing stock is split between two distinct eras. Neighborhoods like Orchard Lake and Crystal Lake date to the late 1980s and early 1990s, which means original roofs that have already been replaced once and second-generation shingles now approaching 20 years. Newer developments south of 185th Street often carry builder-grade three-tab shingles that underperform under Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles. We see both scenarios regularly.
Our warranty process starts with a full deck inspection after tear-off. We check for soft spots, re-nail any loose sheathing to current code, and install ice-and-water shield a minimum of six feet up from every eave, which exceeds the Minnesota code minimum. We then apply synthetic underlayment across the remaining field before any shingles go down. Every project in Lakeville goes through the city's building inspection process, and we schedule that inspection ourselves so you're never chasing paperwork. The result is a roof system with a manufacturer's material warranty backed by our own workmanship guarantee, documented in writing before we load a single bundle onto your property.
Every household is different, so we start with what you actually own and who counts on you, then build coverage around it.

Open-Exposure Hail in Lakeville, MN
Lakeville sits on open terrain south of the metro core, with fewer tall structures and mature tree canopies to absorb hail energy before it reaches your roof. That exposure matters. Minnesota consistently ranks among the top states for hail claims, and hail damage statistics across the state show that southern suburbs like Lakeville take a disproportionate hit during spring and summer storm seasons.
After a hail event, our process is different from what you'll get from a door-knocking crew. We start with a documented inspection: photos of every slope, close-ups of impact marks on shingles, vents, and flashing, plus measurements. If the damage warrants a claim, we hand you that report to file with your insurer. We don't sign contingency agreements that lock you in before you understand the scope. Roof claim severity has hit record highs nationally, which means insurers scrutinize every filing. Having a licensed contractor's documentation on your side makes the difference between a smooth approval and a drawn-out dispute.

| Material | Installed Cost (per sq ft) | Lifespan | Maintenance | Wind Rating | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl (standard) | $3.50 - $5.50 | 20 - 30 years | Low: wash annually | Good up to 110 mph | Fine for shielded walls; avoid on west-facing exposures in Maple Plain |
| Insulated Vinyl | $5.00 - $7.50 | 25 - 35 years | Low: wash annually | Better: up to 130 mph | Good mid-range option for most Maple Plain homes |
| Fiber Cement (e.g., Hardie) | $7.00 - $11.00 | 30 - 50 years | Moderate: repaint every 10 - 15 years | Excellent: rated for 150+ mph | Our default recommendation for full re-sides |
| Engineered Wood (LP SmartSide) | $6.00 - $9.00 | 25 - 40 years | Moderate: repaint every 8 - 12 years | Good: up to 130 mph | Strong alternative where budget matters and wood look is preferred |
| Cedar (real wood) | $8.00 - $12.00 | 30 - 50 years with upkeep | High: stain/seal every 3 - 5 years | Moderate | Only for homeowners committed to ongoing maintenance |
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. We're EPA lead-safe certified under certification LFC-281, a requirement for any work on homes built before 1978, and a handful of Lakeville's older neighborhoods along Holyoke Avenue fall into that category.
Co-founder Seth Norling holds OSHA 30 safety certification, and that training shapes how our crews operate on every jobsite: harness use, fall protection, debris containment. NorBrook was founded by brothers Robb and Seth Norling alongside Charlie Brookins, and we're based in Maple Plain. Every roofing project gets a dedicated project manager who provides daily or weekly updates depending on the job's complexity. You'll always know what happened today and what's scheduled for tomorrow. If you'd rather talk to someone right now, call us at 763-237-5114.

Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
| Material | Lifespan | Cost per Sq. Ft. | Hail Resistance | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Tab Asphalt | 15-20 years | $3.50-$4.50 | Class 1-2 | Budget option only; we don't recommend for Lakeville's hail exposure |
| Architectural Asphalt | 25-30 years | $4.50-$6.00 | Class 3-4 | Our default pick for most Lakeville homes: best balance of cost and durability |
| Impact-Resistant (Class 4) | 30+ years | $5.50-$7.50 | Class 4 | Worth the upfront cost if your insurer offers a premium discount |
| Steel/Metal Panels | 40-50 years | $8.00-$12.00 | Class 4 | Best long-term value for homeowners staying 15+ years |
For most Lakeville projects, we recommend architectural asphalt shingles with a Class 4 impact rating. The upfront cost over standard architectural is roughly $1,200-$1,800 on a typical home, but many Minnesota insurers discount your premium 15-25% for a Class 4 roof, which often recoups that difference within five to seven years. If you're planning to stay in your home long-term and want the highest wind and hail performance, metal panels are worth a serious conversation.

Common Questions Before Hiring NorBrook in Lakeville, MN
How much does a roof replacement cost in Lakeville?
A standard architectural shingle replacement on a 2,200 sq. ft. roof typically runs $14,000-$19,500 depending on slope complexity, access, and material choice. Our written estimate confirms the exact number after we measure your roof.
How long will the project take?
Most single-family roofs in Lakeville take two to three days from tear-off to final cleanup. Steeper pitches or multi-layer tear-offs can push that to four days. Your project manager will give you a specific timeline before work begins.
What warranty do I get?
You receive the manufacturer's material warranty, which varies by product, plus our workmanship warranty covering installation defects. Both are documented in your project contract before we start.
Are you licensed to pull permits in Lakeville?
Yes. License BC80875 covers residential building work statewide. We pull the Lakeville permit, coordinate the city inspection, and make sure the final sign-off is on file.
Do you handle the insurance claim process?
We provide a full damage report with photos and measurements that you submit to your insurer. We'll answer any adjuster questions and attend the inspection if needed, but we work for you, not the insurance company.
What happens at the first appointment?
We walk your roof, measure it, photograph existing conditions, and discuss your material preferences. Within 48 hours you'll have a written estimate with line-item pricing. No pressure, no same-day signing tactics.
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.
