Expert Siding Installation & Replacement

Your siding does more than make your house look good. It is one of the most important parts of your home's exterior protection system. Quality siding helps defend against wind, rain, snow, pests, and moisture while also contributing to energy efficiency and indoor comfort. At Nelco Construction, we install and replace siding, soffit, and fascia with a focus on long-term performance, clean workmanship, and curb appeal that complements your home.

We proudly install industry-leading products, including Vinyl Siding, LP® SmartSide®, and James Hardie® siding systems. Whether you are looking for low-maintenance durability, engineered wood beauty, or premium fiber cement performance, we can help you choose the right solution for your home and budget.

We have worked on many types of homes and understand that siding is never a one-size-fits-all project. The right exterior system depends on your home's age, architectural style, exposure to weather, maintenance goals, and long-term plans. Our job is to help you select materials that look great, perform well in Minnesota's climate, and provide lasting value.

Premium Siding Products We Install

Choosing the right siding material can have a significant impact on your home's appearance, maintenance requirements, and long-term durability. Nelco Construction offers several trusted options, including:

Vinyl siding remains one of the most popular exterior products available. It offers:

LP® SmartSide® Siding

LP SmartSide combines the natural appearance of wood with engineered durability. Homeowners often choose LP SmartSide because of its:

The Importance of Soffit and Fascia

A complete exterior upgrade often includes more than just siding. Soffit and fascia play critical roles in protecting your roofline and supporting proper attic ventilation.

Soffit

Soffit is located underneath the roof overhang and helps:

• Improve attic ventilation

• Reduce moisture buildup

• Support energy efficiency

• Protect exposed roof structures

• Improve the finished appearance of the home

Fascia

Fascia boards run along the roof edge and serve several important functions:

• Support gutters

• Protect roof edges from moisture

• Improve exterior appearance

• Help prevent pest intrusion

• Provide a clean, finished roofline

When replacing siding, upgrading soffit and fascia at the same time often creates a more cohesive appearance while improving overall exterior performance.

Why Homeowners Invest in New Siding

New siding can solve more than cosmetic concerns. If your current siding is cracked, warped, faded, loose, or showing signs of water damage, replacement may be the best solution. Aging siding can allow moisture behind the exterior surface, leading to rot, mold, and hidden structural issues. Replacing siding helps prevent those problems from becoming more serious while giving your home a fresh, updated appearance.

Many homeowners also invest in siding replacement to improve insulation performance and reduce drafts. While siding alone is not responsible for energy savings, a properly installed exterior system with quality house wrap, flashing, sealing, soffit ventilation, and moisture management can improve overall efficiency and comfort.

Siding Options and Design Choices

We help homeowners select siding materials, profiles, and design elements that match both their aesthetic goals and maintenance preferences.

Popular options include:

• Horizontal lap siding

• Vertical siding

• Board and batten siding

• Shake and shingle accents

• Vinyl siding profiles

• LP SmartSide panel and lap siding

• James Hardie lap, panel, and accent siding

• Coordinated trim packages

• Soffit and fascia upgrades

We also assist with color selection, architectural details, and exterior combinations that enhance curb appeal while maintaining a balanced, timeless appearance.

Our Installation Approach

Proper installation is just as important as the siding material itself. Even premium products like James Hardie, LP SmartSide, and Vinyl Siding can experience problems if they are not installed correctly.

At Nelco Construction, we focus on the details that protect your home for years to come, including:

• Proper fastening techniques

• Moisture barrier installation

• Flashing and waterproofing details

• Ventilation improvements

• Soffit and fascia integration

• Trim and corner finishing

• Clean transitions around windows and doors

When removing old siding, we inspect the wall system underneath. If we discover rot, water damage, or structural concerns, we address those issues before installing the new exterior materials. We believe siding should never be used to hide problems—it should be part of a long-term solution.

Benefits of Professional Siding Replacement

Replacing your siding can provide several important advantages:

• Better protection from weather and moisture

• Improved curb appeal and home value

• Cleaner, more modern exterior appearance

• Lower maintenance requirements

• Potential improvements in comfort and energy efficiency

• Opportunity to repair hidden exterior damage

• Updated soffit and fascia systems

• Improved exterior durability and performance

Signs It May Be Time to Replace Your Siding

If you notice any of the following issues, it may be time to schedule an inspection:

• Cracks, chips, or holes in the siding

• Warping, buckling, or loose panels

• Rot, mold, or soft spots on exterior walls

• Faded color or significant weather wear

• Peeling paint inside the home near exterior walls

• Higher energy bills and noticeable drafts

• Storm or impact damage

• Damaged soffit or fascia

• Water staining near rooflines or exterior trim

Addressing these problems early can help prevent more costly repairs in the future.
