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.
We handle roofing projects across Medina, MN, from full tear-offs on estate homes to storm damage repairs on older ramblers. If you're looking for a roofing contractor in Medina, NorBrook Construction is the crew to call.

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.

Large Roof Planes on Newer Luxury Homes
Medina's housing stock skews newer and larger than most western Hennepin County communities. Many homes built in the Enclave, Fields of Medina, and Bridgewater developments since the early 2000s feature steep-pitched roofs with uninterrupted planes that can run 40 feet or more from ridge to eave. That scale creates specific challenges our crews plan for before a single shingle goes on.
Long roof planes amplify the effects of wind-driven rain and ice damming, both of which are regular winter concerns in this part of Minnesota. We install ice-and-water shield membrane a minimum of six feet up from every eave, which exceeds the Minnesota code minimum, because Medina's exposure to open western winds off the agricultural fields makes standard coverage insufficient. Our sequencing on these large planes starts with a full synthetic underlayment layer, followed by starter strip and field shingles installed in a staggered pattern that prevents alignment of seams across the plane.
Hail is the other factor. Medina has experienced multiple significant hail events over the past several years, and the Twin Cities metro hail history from 2020 through 2026 shows this area getting hit harder than communities farther south. On these large planes, we typically recommend Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, which carry insurance premium discounts from most Minnesota carriers and hold up dramatically better against stones in the 1- to 1.5-inch range.
Every household is different, so we start with what you actually own and who counts on you, then build coverage around it.

Cedar and Slate-Look Options
A lot of Medina homeowners want the look of natural cedar shake or slate without the maintenance burden those materials carry. We get it. Cedar is beautiful at install, but in Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycle it splits, curls, and needs retreatment every few years. Real slate costs $20 to $40 per square foot installed and requires reinforced framing that most Medina homes weren't designed for.
That's where synthetic options come in, and we install several. Composite slate profiles from manufacturers like DaVinci and Brava give you the dimensional look of quarried slate at roughly half the installed cost, with a Class 4 impact rating baked in. For cedar aesthetics, we use polymer shake tiles that replicate the shadow lines and grain of hand-split cedar while lasting 40-plus years with zero maintenance.
Our crews treat these specialty products differently during installation. Synthetic slate requires hidden fastener systems and specific batten spacing, and we use stainless steel fasteners to prevent corrosion staining on lighter-colored profiles. The permit process in Medina doesn't change for these materials, but the HOA review in several Medina developments does require color and profile approval before we order. We walk clients through that review and submit samples on their behalf.

Why Homeowners Hire NorBrook Construction
We hold Minnesota residential building contractor license BC80875, which you can verify through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry license lookup. For any work on homes built before 1978, our EPA lead-safe certification (LFC-281) means we follow federally mandated containment and disposal procedures to protect your family during the project.
Safety on the job site is non-negotiable. Co-founder Seth Norling holds the OSHA 30 certification, and our crew leaders are trained under that standard. Robb Norling, Seth, and Charlie Brookins founded NorBrook with a straightforward idea: treat every project like it's your own home. We operate out of Maple Plain, which puts us less than ten minutes from most Medina addresses.
Every NorBrook roofing job gets a dedicated project manager who provides daily or weekly updates depending on the project's scope. You won't chase us for information. If you'd rather talk to someone right now, call us at 763-237-5114.

Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
| Material | Installed Cost (per sq ft) | Lifespan | Hail Rating | Maintenance | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Tab Asphalt | $3.50 - $5.00 | 15 - 20 yrs | Class 1-2 | Low | Not recommended for Medina; poor hail performance |
| Architectural Asphalt (Class 4) | $5.50 - $8.00 | 30 - 50 yrs | Class 4 | Low | Our default pick for most Medina homes; best value vs. protection |
| Synthetic Slate | $10.00 - $16.00 | 40 - 50+ yrs | Class 4 | Very low | Great for estate homes wanting a premium look |
| Polymer Cedar Shake | $9.00 - $14.00 | 40+ yrs | Class 4 | Very low | Ideal for HOA communities requiring cedar aesthetics |
| Standing Seam Metal | $12.00 - $18.00 | 50+ yrs | Class 4 | Very low | Best for modern designs or low-slope secondary roofs |
For most Medina projects, we recommend architectural asphalt shingles with a Class 4 impact rating. The cost-to-performance ratio is hard to beat, the insurance savings are real, and the product handles Minnesota weather without complaint. If your home's architecture calls for something with more visual weight, synthetic slate is where we steer clients next.

Yes. We manage the full permitting process with the local building department, including structural, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing permits. Minnesota requires plan review for commercial and assembly-use buildings, and churches fall into assembly occupancy. We coordinate all inspections so your building committee doesn't have to chase paperwork.
What areas of Minnesota do you serve?
Absolutely. Many congregations already have an architect or denominational design guidelines. We collaborate with your architect through the design-build process, providing constructability input and value engineering to keep the project within budget. If you don't have an architect yet, we can recommend firms with church and educational facility experience in Minnesota.
Common Questions Before Hiring NorBrook in Medina, MN
How much does a roof replacement cost in Medina?
A typical Medina roof replacement runs between $15,000 and $40,000 depending on the home's square footage, pitch, material choice, and the number of layers we need to tear off. Our written estimate confirms the exact number after we measure and inspect your roof in person.
How long does a full roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes in Medina take three to five working days from tear-off to final cleanup. Larger estate homes with complex rooflines or specialty materials may take seven to ten 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 ranges from 30 years to lifetime depending on the product, plus our workmanship warranty covering installation. We'll walk you through both documents at the pre-construction meeting so there are no surprises.
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in Medina?
Yes. Hennepin County requires a building permit for roof replacements, and we handle the application and scheduling of inspections. The permit cost is included in our estimate.
Can you work with my insurance company on a storm damage claim?
We document the damage, provide a detailed scope of work, and coordinate directly with your adjuster. The U.S. roofing market reached $59.2 billion in 2024, driven in large part by storm-related claims, and we know how to present documentation that insurers need to approve a claim efficiently.
What happens at the first appointment?
We send a project manager to your home to inspect the roof, take measurements, discuss your material preferences, and answer questions. You'll receive a written estimate within a few days. No pressure, no gimmicks.
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.
