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.
Most Oakdale homeowners pay around $9,200 for a full asphalt re-roof on a 2,000-square-foot home, and the number climbs fast if you're dealing with storm damage, aging plywood, or a second layer that needs tearing off. If you're looking for a roofing contractor in Oakdale, MN, we want to make the case that NorBrook Construction should be your first 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.

1970s-1990s Re-Roof Cycles
Oakdale's residential footprint expanded heavily between 1975 and 1995. Neighborhoods like Oakdale Heights, Willowbrooke, and the areas south of 10th Street North are full of split-levels and ramblers built during that window. Many of these homes are now on their second or third roof, and the work gets more complicated each time around.
Our crews regularly open up these roofs and find 3/8-inch plywood decking, which was common in that era but doesn't meet current fastener-pull standards. We replace it with 7/16-inch OSB or half-inch plywood, depending on what the span requires. We also see a lot of original bath and kitchen vents that were never properly flashed: just caulked and forgotten. On a re-roof, we correct those penetrations with code-compliant step and counter flashing.
The housing data available through the city confirms that a large share of Oakdale's roughly 11,000 housing units fall into this vintage. If your home was built before 1990 and you haven't replaced the roof in the last 15 to 20 years, the shingles are almost certainly past their functional life, even if they still look passable from the street. We tell clients to trust the age, not the curb appeal.
Every household is different, so we start with what you actually own and who counts on you, then build coverage around it.

I-694 Corridor Winds in Oakdale, MN
Oakdale sits right along the I-694 corridor, and that geography matters for your roof. The highway cuts through relatively flat terrain with minimal tree cover, creating a wind channel that accelerates gusts across adjacent neighborhoods. Homes backing up to the freeway or sitting on the north side of the corridor catch the worst of it.
We see the evidence on tear-offs constantly: shingle tabs lifted and resealed in wavy patterns, ridge caps blown clean off, and soffit panels that have been flapping for years. Wind-driven rain pushes moisture under shingles that have lost their seal strip adhesion, and by the time you notice a ceiling stain, the decking underneath may already be delaminating.
On exposed Oakdale lots, we specify high-wind shingles rated for 130 mph gusts and use a six-nail pattern instead of the standard four. We also run ice-and-water shield a full 36 inches past the exterior wall line on eaves and rakes, which exceeds the Minnesota code minimum. These aren't upsells: they're what the site conditions demand. A roof that performs fine in a sheltered Woodbury cul-de-sac won't necessarily hold up two blocks from 694.

| 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 yourself through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry license lookup. For any Oakdale home built before 1978, our EPA lead-safe certification (LFC-281) is required by federal law during renovation work, and we hold it.
Safety runs through everything we do. Co-founder Seth Norling holds the OSHA 30 certification, and that training shapes how our crews set up every job site: harnesses, toe boards, debris containment. NorBrook was founded by brothers Robb and Seth Norling along with Charlie Brookins, and we operate out of Maple Plain.
Every roofing project gets a dedicated project manager who keeps you informed with daily or weekly updates, depending on the scope. You'll always know who to call, and that person has authority to make decisions on site. If you'd rather just pick up the phone, reach us at 763-237-5114.

Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
| Option | Typical Cost (2,000 sq ft) | Lifespan | Wind Rating | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-tab asphalt shingle | $7,500 - $9,000 | 15-20 years | 60-70 mph | Budget-friendly but short-lived; we rarely recommend for Oakdale's wind exposure |
| Architectural asphalt shingle | $9,000 - $12,500 | 25-30 years | 110-130 mph | Our default recommendation for most Oakdale homes: best balance of cost, durability, and wind resistance |
| Standing seam metal | $18,000 - $26,000 | 40-60 years | 140+ mph | Excellent for homeowners planning to stay long-term; higher upfront cost pays off over time |
| Synthetic slate/shake | $14,000 - $20,000 | 30-50 years | 110 mph | Good aesthetic upgrade but limited local installer experience outside our crews |
For the majority of Oakdale projects, we recommend architectural asphalt shingles in the 130 mph wind-rated class. The price point lands right around that $9,200 median for the area, and the 25- to 30-year lifespan means you're not thinking about your roof again for a generation. If you're staying in your home past retirement, standing seam metal is worth the conversation.

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 Oakdale, MN
How much does a roof replacement cost in Oakdale?
A typical full re-roof on a 2,000-square-foot home runs $9,000 to $12,500 for architectural shingles. The final number depends on decking condition, number of layers to tear off, and penetrations like skylights or chimneys. Your written estimate from us will confirm the exact cost before any work begins.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most single-family homes in Oakdale take two to three days from tear-off to final cleanup. Larger homes or jobs requiring extensive decking replacement may stretch to four days. Weather delays happen, and your project manager will communicate any schedule changes the same day.
What warranty do I get?
You receive the shingle manufacturer's material warranty, which typically covers 25 to 50 years depending on the product line, plus our workmanship warranty. We walk through both documents at the estimate appointment so there are no surprises.
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in Oakdale?
Yes. Oakdale requires a building permit for re-roofing, and we handle the application and inspection scheduling for you. The permit ensures the work is inspected and meets Minnesota's current building code requirements.
What happens at the first appointment?
We inspect the roof from the ground and, when safe, from a ladder. We check the attic for ventilation and moisture issues, measure the roof area, and photograph any damage. You'll have a written estimate within 48 hours of that visit.
Do you work with insurance claims?
We do. If your roof has storm damage, we document the condition thoroughly and provide the documentation your insurer needs. We don't inflate claims or play games with adjusters: we just give an honest scope of what needs replacing.
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.
