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 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.

1990s-2000s Re-Roof Cycles
Savage grew fast between 1993 and 2006. Neighborhoods like Southbridge, Quentin Estates, and the developments along McColl Drive were built during that stretch, and most of those original three-tab shingle roofs are now 20 to 30 years old. That puts a huge share of the local housing stock right in the replacement window, and our crews see it every week.
What makes these re-roofs specific to Savage is the combination of 6/12 and 8/12 pitch roofs common in that era's colonial and two-story designs, plus the OSB sheathing that was standard at the time. When we tear off the old shingles, we frequently find soft spots in the OSB where ice dams or flashing failures let moisture in. Our process includes a full sheathing inspection before any new material goes down, and we replace compromised panels on the spot rather than layering over damage.
Savage requires a building permit for any re-roof, and the city's planning and zoning department enforces current Minnesota Residential Code, which means upgraded ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys even if the original roof didn't have it. We handle the permit application, schedule the city inspection, and make sure the final sign-off is clean.

River-Terrace Winds in Savage, MN
Savage sits on the bluffs and terraces above the Minnesota River, and that geography creates wind patterns most suburbs don't deal with. Cold air funnels along the river valley and accelerates as it climbs the terrace, hitting rooflines at angles that standard wind-speed maps underestimate. Homes along Egan Drive, the Preserve at the Bluffs, and anything backing up to the river corridor take a beating during fall and spring storms.
We account for this by specifying high-wind-rated shingles (130+ mph rating) and using a six-nail pattern instead of the manufacturer's minimum four on exposed elevations. Our crews also pay extra attention to drip edge and ridge cap installation on river-facing slopes, because those are the first components to peel in a sustained 60-mph gust. Recent years have brought increasing scrutiny on hail and wind claims from Minnesota insurers, which makes proper installation documentation even more critical. We photograph every stage and provide homeowners with a detailed installation record they can share with their adjuster if a future claim arises.

Why Homeowners Hire NorBrook Construction
Here's what separates us from the storm-chaser crews that show up after every hail event and disappear six months later.
- Minnesota residential building contractor license BC80875: verifiable any time through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry license lookup.
- EPA lead-safe certification LFC-281: required for any work on homes built before 1978, and we carry it because older pockets of Savage do include pre-1978 construction.
- OSHA 30 trained leadership: co-founder Seth Norling holds the OSHA 30 certification, and jobsite safety protocols flow from that standard on every project.
- Founded by Robb Norling, Seth Norling, and Charlie Brookins: real people you can talk to, not a franchise number.
- Based in Maple Plain: close enough to run material to your site the same day if plans change.
- Dedicated project manager on every job: you get daily or weekly updates, depending on project scope, and one phone number to call with questions.
That number, by the way, is 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
| Option | Lifespan | Typical Cost (2,200 sq ft) | Wind Rating | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Tab Asphalt | 15-20 years | $12,000-$14,000 | 60-70 mph | We rarely recommend this anymore: the cost savings are small and the lifespan gap is real. |
| Architectural Asphalt | 25-30 years | $14,000-$19,000 | 110-130 mph | Our default for most Savage homes. Best balance of durability, wind resistance, and cost. |
| Synthetic Slate/Shake | 40-50 years | $22,000-$30,000 | 110+ mph | Worth it for homeowners planning to stay long-term, especially in HOA neighborhoods where appearance matters. |
| Standing Seam Metal | 40-60 years | $28,000-$38,000 | 140+ mph | Excellent for river-terrace exposure but requires careful thermal movement detailing in Minnesota's temperature swings. |
For most Savage projects, we recommend architectural asphalt shingles with a six-nail high-wind installation. The price-to-performance ratio is hard to beat, and the 130-mph wind rating addresses the river-valley exposure that so many Savage rooflines face. If your budget allows and you want a 40-year roof, synthetic slate is our next pick.

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 Savage, MN
How much does a roof replacement cost in Savage?
Most of the roofs we replace in Savage fall between $14,000 and $22,000 for architectural shingles. The final number depends on roof size, pitch, tear-off layers, and any sheathing repairs. Your written estimate from us will confirm the exact price before we start.
How long does the project take?
A standard single-family re-roof takes our crew two to three days, weather permitting. Larger or steeper roofs with multiple dormers can run four days. We confirm the schedule with your dedicated project manager before materials arrive.
What about the permit?
Savage requires a permit for all roofing work, and the city's building inspections division handles the review. We pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and make sure the job closes out properly on the city's records.
Does NorBrook handle insurance claims?
We document everything with photos and measurements, and we'll meet with your adjuster on-site if needed. We don't inflate scope or push unnecessary claims, but we make sure legitimate storm damage is properly represented. Minnesota insurers have been tightening roof coverage terms, so accurate documentation matters more than ever.
What happens at the first appointment?
One of our project managers comes to your home, inspects the roof from the ladder and the ground, measures, photographs existing conditions, and discusses your priorities. You'll receive a written estimate within a few days, usually faster.
Do you serve all of Savage?
Yes. We work throughout Savage, from the older neighborhoods near downtown to the newer developments south of Highway 13 and along County Road 42.

| 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.
