Siding that holds up to Iowa weather

Siding replacement and installation in Decorah, Iowa

When siding starts to crack, warp, or pull away from the wall, you notice it every time you pull into the driveway. In Decorah, freeze-thaw cycles and wind-driven rain can wear down older materials faster than you expect, especially on west- and north-facing walls. Farley Construction LLC replaces and installs siding that protects your home and holds up to the conditions here.

We handle full siding replacements and exterior upgrades on residential properties throughout northeast Iowa and southeast Minnesota. Our crew works with vinyl, fiber cement, and engineered wood, depending on your home's style and exposure. We remove the old siding, check the sheathing and insulation, and install new material with proper flashing around windows and doors to prevent water from getting behind the wall.

If your siding is faded, damaged, or no longer keeping moisture out, reach out to Farley Construction LLC for a free siding estimate in Decorah.

How siding replacement is done

We start by removing the existing siding and inspecting the sheathing for rot, mold, or gaps in the house wrap. In Decorah, older homes sometimes have tar paper instead of modern moisture barriers, so we upgrade those layers when needed. We then install new siding from the bottom up, locking each piece in place and leaving expansion gaps to prevent buckling when temperatures change.

After the siding is installed, you will see straight lines, tight corners, and clean transitions around trim and fixtures. The exterior will shed water more effectively, and the interior walls will stay warmer in winter because the envelope is sealed correctly.

We coordinate with electricians if outdoor outlets or lights need to be relocated, and we clean up all scrap material daily. The job site stays organized, and your landscaping is protected with drop cloths and careful handling. Our team is backed by years of residential experience, and we provide honest recommendations based on your home's condition and your goals.

Common concerns before starting the work

Homeowners often ask how long the project will take, whether the old siding needs to come off, and what happens if we find damage underneath.

How long does siding replacement take?
Most residential siding projects in Decorah are completed in three to five days, depending on the size of the home and the number of openings. We provide a timeline before we start and keep you updated if anything changes.
Do you always remove the old siding?
Yes, we remove the old siding so we can inspect the sheathing, replace any damaged sections, and install proper moisture barriers. Layering new siding over old material can trap moisture and hide structural problems.
What if you find rot under the siding?
We replace any rotted sheathing or framing before installing the new siding. You will see photos of the damage and the repair, and we explain the cost before moving forward.
What type of siding works best in this area?
Vinyl and fiber cement both perform well in northeast Iowa. Vinyl is low maintenance and handles temperature swings without cracking, while fiber cement resists impact and holds paint longer.
Will you match the existing style?
We can match siding profiles, colors, and trim details to keep your home looking consistent. If you are updating the entire exterior, we help you choose materials that fit the architecture and the neighborhood.
