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 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 Lake-Adjacent Neighborhoods
Shoreview sits among more than a dozen lakes, and that proximity shapes how siding performs over time. Homes near Snail Lake, Turtle Lake, and Island Lake catch sustained wind off the water, and the humidity cycles between freeze and thaw put stress on cladding seams that inland homes rarely experience. When our crews reclad these properties, we start with a full inspection of the sheathing and housewrap before a single panel goes up. Skipping that step is how moisture gets trapped behind new siding and rots the wall assembly from within.
We sequence lake-adjacent jobs to account for wind exposure on the water-facing elevation first, because that side typically shows the worst deterioration. Most of the housing stock in these neighborhoods dates from the 1960s through the 1980s, which means we frequently encounter original hardboard or T1-11 that has swelled and delaminated. Our project managers pull the necessary Shoreview building permits before work begins and coordinate inspections so the job doesn't stall. For homes with setback constraints near the shoreline, we confirm compliance with Ramsey County shoreland overlay requirements, which can affect how far scaffolding and material staging extend toward the water.

Wooded-Lot Moisture Management
Shoreview's tree canopy is one of the densest in the northern suburbs. Streets like Hodgson Road, Hamline Avenue North, and the neighborhoods threading through Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve are thick with mature oak, maple, and ash. That shade keeps energy bills lower in summer, but it also means siding stays damp longer after rain, and organic debris collects in J-channels and window trim where it holds moisture against the wall.
Our approach on wooded lots starts during the estimate visit. We walk the full perimeter, noting where tree canopy blocks airflow and where downspout discharge pools near the foundation. If we find soft spots in the sheathing during tear-off, we replace the affected OSB or plywood before installing new housewrap. We favor vented rainscreen systems on heavily shaded elevations because they create a gap behind the cladding that lets trapped moisture dry. That detail adds a small cost, but it prevents the kind of hidden rot that turns a 30-year siding job into a 12-year one. We also trim back branches that rest against or within six inches of the siding, since that contact point is where carpenter ant and moisture damage almost always starts.

Why Homeowners Hire NorBrook Construction
We carry Minnesota residential building contractor license BC80875, which you can verify through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry license lookup. For Shoreview homes built before 1978, we hold EPA lead-safe certification LFC-281, meaning our crews follow federal protocols for safe removal of lead-containing materials. Co-founder Seth Norling is OSHA 30 trained, and that safety standard runs through every jobsite we operate.
NorBrook was founded by brothers Robb and Seth Norling alongside Charlie Brookins, and we still run the company the same way: hands-on, direct, and reachable. Every siding project gets a dedicated project manager who provides daily or weekly updates depending on the job's complexity. You won't chase us for information. If you'd rather talk before filling out a form, 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 - $7 | 20 - 30 years | Low: occasional washing | Good budget option for protected elevations |
| Fiber Cement | $8 - $13 | 30 - 50 years | Moderate: repaint every 10-15 years | Our default pick for most Shoreview homes |
| Engineered Wood (LP SmartSide) | $7 - $11 | 25 - 40 years | Moderate: repaint every 8-12 years | Strong choice for wooded lots wanting a natural look |
| Steel | $9 - $14 | 40+ years | Very low | Best for severe lake-wind exposure |
For most Shoreview projects, we recommend fiber cement. It handles the freeze-thaw cycling well, resists moisture and insects, and fiber-cement siding replacement in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area recoups approximately 88.5% of its cost at resale. That ROI, combined with its durability against the humidity and shade common here, makes it the strongest all-around value. On heavily wooded lots where aesthetics lean traditional, engineered wood with a vented rainscreen is our second pick.

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.

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.
