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.
Mahtomedi sits on the eastern shore of White Bear Lake, and its housing stock reflects that: a mix of mid-century ramblers, 1990s colonials, and newer lakefront builds, all taking a beating from Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles and summer humidity. If you're looking for a siding contractor in Mahtomedi, MN, here's what we do and why homeowners call us.

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 Lakeside and Wooded Homes
Mahtomedi's proximity to White Bear Lake creates specific problems that inland suburbs don't face. Homes along the eastern shore get sustained wind exposure off the water, which drives rain behind poorly flashed siding and accelerates rot in sheathing and trim. Wooded lots in neighborhoods near Mahtomedi Park trap moisture against north-facing walls, and we routinely find fungal growth behind original cladding on homes built in the 1960s through 1980s.
Our crews strip siding back to sheathing, inspect and replace any compromised OSB or plywood, and install a full weather-resistive barrier before new cladding goes on. We sequence the work wall by wall so the house is never fully exposed overnight. Mahtomedi falls under Washington County's permitting process, and we pull the required building permits and coordinate the inspection schedule so you don't have to chase paperwork. On lakefront lots, we also factor in setback requirements and any shoreland overlay district rules that affect scaffolding placement and staging areas. These homes require siding systems rated for high wind and moisture exposure, and we spec materials accordingly.
Every household is different, so we start with what you actually own and who counts on you, then build coverage around it.

Cedar and Fiber Cement Blends
A lot of Mahtomedi homeowners want the look of real wood without committing to the maintenance schedule that cedar demands. What we've found works best on many of these homes is a blend: cedar accent panels on gable ends, porch ceilings, or entryway walls, paired with fiber cement planks on the main field walls that take the worst weather exposure.
Fiber cement handles Mahtomedi's temperature swings well. It won't crack in a negative-20 February or cup during a humid July. Cedar, on the other hand, gives warmth and character to the street-facing details that make a house feel like more than a box. We pre-stain all cedar off-site before installation, which gives it a more even finish and extends the first maintenance cycle by a couple of years. The fiber cement gets factory-primed and then finish-painted on the wall. We use back-caulked joints at all butt seams and flash every window and door opening with self-adhering membrane. Homeowners considering their options should know that material selection depends heavily on the home's orientation and exposure, and we walk through those trade-offs during the estimate visit.

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's online lookup. For homes built before 1978, and Mahtomedi has plenty, we carry EPA lead-safe certification LFC-281, meaning our crews follow federal protocols for containing and disposing of lead paint during tear-off.
Safety leadership matters on a job site with ladders, scaffolding, and power tools. Co-founder Seth Norling holds OSHA 30 certification and runs our field safety program. NorBrook was founded by brothers Robb and Seth Norling along with Charlie Brookins, and we operate out of Maple Plain. Every siding project gets a dedicated project manager who provides daily or weekly updates depending on the phase of work. You'll always know what happened today and what's scheduled tomorrow. If you'd rather talk to someone directly before requesting an estimate online, call us at 763-237-5114.

Your Options Compared, and What We Recommend
| Material | Installed Cost Range (per sq ft) | Lifespan | Maintenance | NorBrook Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl | $4 - $8 | 20 - 30 years | Low: wash only | Budget-friendly but limited curb appeal; fine for detached garages or secondary structures |
| Fiber Cement | $9 - $14 | 30 - 50 years | Repaint every 10 - 15 years | Our default for most Mahtomedi homes: handles moisture, holds paint, strong warranty |
| Cedar | $10 - $16 | 25 - 40 years | Stain/seal every 3 - 5 years | Best as accent material; full cedar homes require real commitment to upkeep |
| Engineered Wood (LP SmartSide) | $7 - $11 | 25 - 35 years | Repaint every 8 - 12 years | Good middle ground on budget and appearance; performs well in sheltered wall sections |
| Steel | $8 - $13 | 40+ years | Minimal | Worth considering for high-exposure lakefront walls where impact resistance matters |
For most Mahtomedi projects, we recommend fiber cement as the primary field material, with cedar or engineered wood accents where the homeowner wants visual warmth. This combination gives you the best balance of durability, appearance, and long-term cost. The written estimate we provide breaks out each material zone so you can adjust the mix before committing.

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 Mahtomedi, MN
How much does a full siding replacement cost in Mahtomedi?
Most projects we bid in Mahtomedi fall between $22,000 and $42,000 for a standard two-story home, depending on material choice and how much sheathing repair is needed underneath. Your written estimate will confirm the exact number after we inspect the existing walls.
How long does a siding project take?
A typical full reclad takes two to three weeks of on-site work. Weather delays can stretch that in spring or late fall, but our project manager keeps you updated on any schedule shifts.
What warranty do I get?
You receive the manufacturer's product warranty, which ranges from 15 years to lifetime depending on the material, plus our workmanship warranty covering installation. We detail both in the contract before you sign.
Are you licensed to work in Mahtomedi?
Yes. Our Minnesota residential building contractor license BC80875 covers work statewide, and we pull Washington County permits for every Mahtomedi project that requires them.
Do I need to be home during the work?
No. Most homeowners go about their normal routine. Your dedicated project manager sends photo updates and is reachable by phone or text throughout the day. We ask that you're available for a walkthrough at key milestones: after tear-off and at final completion.
What happens at the first appointment?
We measure the exterior, inspect the existing siding and trim up close, check for moisture damage at vulnerable spots, and discuss your material preferences. That visit typically takes 60 to 90 minutes, and you'll have a written estimate within a few business days. Homeowners who want to compare siding options before the visit can review material specs ahead of time so we can focus the conversation on what fits your home.

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.
