"The right siding material matters more in Chicago than almost anywhere else — freeze-thaw, hail, and temperature swings will expose every shortcut."

Arlington Heights Siding Contractor

Siding That Holds Up to Illinois Winters

We install and repair exterior siding on homes throughout Arlington Heights, Schaumburg, Palatine, Barrington, and the NW Chicago suburbs. Every project — from a single damaged panel to a full whole-home replacement — is handled by the same crews that do our roofing work.

01

Fiber cement — our primary recommendation for Illinois

Doesn’t warp, crack, or rot. Holds paint 2–3× longer than wood. Stands up to hail, wind, and Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles better than any other material we install.

02

Storm damage repair with insurance support

Hail and wind damage to siding is one of the most common insurance claims in Illinois. We assess damage and provide detailed estimates and photos — everything your insurance company needs to process the claim.

03

Whole-home and partial replacement

We match existing profiles and colors precisely for partial repairs, and handle complete re-siding projects when the scope warrants it.

Three Materials.
One Right Choice.

We install fiber cement, vinyl, and wood siding. Here’s how they compare for the Chicago climate — and which we recommend for most Illinois homes.

Material 01

Fiber Cement Siding

The best performing siding material for Illinois. Won’t rot, warp, or crack. Resists hail impact, fire, and pest damage. Holds paint 2–3× longer than wood — and looks like wood when installed correctly.

Lifespan

30–50 years

Hail resistance

Excellent

Freeze-thaw

Excellent

Material 02

Vinyl Siding

Cost-effective and low-maintenance. Modern vinyl profiles are more impact-resistant than older versions, but can still crack in extreme cold. A solid choice for budget-focused projects on secondary structures.

Lifespan

20–30 years

Hail resistance

Moderate

Freeze-thaw

Good

Material 03

Wood Siding

Authentic character and curb appeal — but requires disciplined maintenance in this climate. Paint and caulk every 5–7 years, or moisture intrusion and rot follow. Best for historic homes where matching original material is required.

Lifespan

20–40 years

Maintenance

High

Freeze-thaw

Moderate

Storm Damage Repair

Siding Repair After a Hail or Wind Storm

Illinois averages more than 30 significant hail events per year. Siding damage is often covered by homeowners insurance — but only if it’s documented correctly.

Free damage assessment

We inspect and document all affected siding, trim, and related areas. No cost, no obligation.

Insurance documentation support

We provide detailed written estimates and photos — everything your insurance company needs to process your claim.

Repair or replacement — your choice

We’ll give you an honest assessment: targeted panel replacement if damage is localized, full re-siding if widespread. We match existing profiles and colors as closely as possible.

What Clients Say

Real homeowners. Real completed projects. No paid ratings.

Siding FAQ

What Illinois homeowners ask us before getting a siding estimate.
Ask Your Question
What's the difference between siding repair and replacement?

Repair fixes localized damage — a few cracked or loose panels — and is the cheaper option when the rest of the siding is sound. Full replacement makes sense when damage is widespread, the siding is aging throughout, or you can’t match discontinued panels. A quick inspection tells you which you need.

Fiber cement is our top recommendation for Chicago-area homes. It resists freeze-thaw cycling, doesn’t warp or rot, and holds paint significantly longer than wood or vinyl. Vinyl is a cost-effective option but can become brittle and crack in extreme cold. We install both and will recommend based on your home and budget.
Yes — storm siding repair is one of our most common services. We assess the damage, provide detailed estimates and photos your insurance company needs, and match existing material and color as closely as possible, and give you an honest comparison between partial repair and full replacement.

Most Chicago siding repairs run about $350 to $1,500 for minor to moderate work, such as replacing damaged panels or sealing gaps. Larger repairs — storm damage, water intrusion, or matching older siding — cost more. Material (vinyl, fiber cement, wood) and the repair’s size and height are the main price factors.

Often, yes. Because siding and roofing meet at the flashing and eaves, addressing both together ensures a watertight seal and can save on labor. It’s especially worth combining after a storm, when wind or hail may have damaged both surfaces at once.
