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.
Edina homeowners pay close attention to curb appeal, and for good reason: the right siding project can return over 80 percent of its cost at resale. If you're weighing a reclad or repair, here's how we handle the work and why it matters for your home specifically.

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.

Recladding Mid-Century Stock Near Southdale
Edina's housing boom tracked the growth of Southdale Center in the late 1950s and 1960s. That means a huge share of homes within a mile or two of the mall are mid-century ramblers and split-levels, many still wearing their original hardboard or early vinyl. Those materials have hit the end of their useful life, and we see the same failure patterns on nearly every tear-off: swollen hardboard behind downspout splashes, moisture trapped in wall cavities with no house wrap, and original insulation that has compressed to almost nothing.
Our recladding sequence on these homes starts with a full tear-off to sheathing so we can inspect for rot and correct flashing details that 1960s builders skipped entirely. We install a modern weather-resistive barrier, then fur out for a rainscreen gap where the wall assembly calls for it. Edina's building inspection department requires permits for residing work, and we pull those before we touch a single board. Because many of these homes predate 1978, our EPA lead-safe certification (LFC-281) is not optional: it's a legal requirement for disturbing old paint layers, and we carry it on every applicable project.

Premium Fiber Cement and Stone Packages
Fiber cement has become our default recommendation for most Edina projects, and we pair it with manufactured stone veneer on entries, chimneys, and lower-wall accents to match the neighborhood's move toward a more finished street presence. Fiber cement handles Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycling without the brittleness problems we see in older vinyl after ten-plus winters, and it holds paint far longer than wood.
We source planks and panels in prefinished factory colors whenever possible because a factory finish outlasts field paint by several years. For stone accents, we set each piece over a metal lath and scratch coat rather than using adhesive-only methods, which gives us a bond that survives frost heave and settling. Our project managers coordinate color and texture selections with homeowners early so lead times don't stall the job. Edina's design standards in certain overlay districts can affect color and material choices, so we confirm compliance before ordering. The result is a system that looks right on the block and performs for the climate.

Why Homeowners Hire NorBrook Construction
We carry Minnesota residential building contractor licence BC80875, which you can verify through the Minnesota DLI lookup. For any Edina home built before 1978, our EPA lead-safe certification LFC-281 means we follow federally mandated containment and cleanup procedures during tear-off. Co-founder Seth Norling holds OSHA 30 certification, and that training shapes how every crew sets up scaffolding, manages debris, and protects landscaping on tight suburban lots.
NorBrook was founded by brothers Robb and Seth Norling along with Charlie Brookins. We're based in Maple Plain, roughly 20 minutes west of Edina, and our crews are on-site early without fighting cross-metro traffic. Every siding job gets a dedicated project manager who provides daily or weekly updates depending on project scope. If you want to talk through your project before requesting a formal estimate, call us 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 | Installed Cost Range | Lifespan | Maintenance | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl | $8,000 - $18,000 | 20-30 yrs | Low; fades over time | Budget-friendly but not our first pick for Edina's price tier |
| Fiber Cement | $15,000 - $32,000 | 30-50 yrs | Repaint every 12-15 yrs | Our default for most Edina reclads: best balance of durability and appearance |
| Engineered Wood (LP SmartSide) | $12,000 - $25,000 | 25-35 yrs | Repaint every 8-10 yrs | Good mid-range option; works well on gable accents |
| Natural Cedar | $18,000 - $38,000 | 30-40 yrs | Stain every 3-5 yrs | Beautiful but high-maintenance; we recommend it only if you'll commit to upkeep |
| Stone Veneer Accent | $3,000 - $10,000 (partial) | 40+ yrs | Very low | Excellent paired with fiber cement on entries and lower walls |
Cost ranges reflect typical Edina projects; a full reclad on a standard rambler generally falls between $10,000 and $40,000 depending on material and square footage. For most homeowners here, we recommend fiber cement planks with stone veneer accents at the entry. That combination hits the right note for Edina's established neighborhoods and holds up through decades of hail, ice, and UV exposure.

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 Edina, MN
How much does a siding replacement cost in Edina?
Most full reclads we quote in Edina land between $15,000 and $35,000 for fiber cement, depending on home size and how much rot repair the tear-off reveals. Your written estimate from us will confirm exact pricing after we inspect the existing walls.
How long does a siding project take?
A typical Edina rambler reclad takes our crew two to three weeks from tear-off to final cleanup. Larger homes or projects with extensive rot repair can stretch to four weeks. Your project manager will give you a specific timeline before we start.
What warranty do I get?
We provide a workmanship warranty on our installation, and the material manufacturer's warranty covers the product itself: fiber cement warranties typically run 30 years on substrate and 15 years on factory finish. We walk you through both documents at contract signing.
Do I need a permit for new siding in Edina?
Yes. Edina requires a building permit for residing work, and we handle the application, inspection scheduling, and sign-off so you don't have to chase paperwork. Permit fees are included in our estimate.
Can you match siding on just one wall after hail damage?
We can, though color matching on aged siding is tricky. Minnesota insurers have been adjusting how they handle hail claims in recent years, so we recommend getting your adjuster's scope before we quote a partial repair versus a full reclad.
What happens at the first appointment?
We measure the exterior, check wall condition at a few probe points, photograph problem areas, and talk through your material and color preferences. You'll receive a written estimate within a few business days, broken down by line item.

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.
