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.

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.

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.

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.

From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The quality of work speaks for itself — every detail was handled with incredible care, precision, and professionalism.

What truly sets Mark apart is his passion for perfection. He treats every project like it’s his own and never cuts corners. His attention to detail, communication, and commitment to doing things the right way made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable.

Beyond being a true professional, Mark has also been a great friend and trusted partner to **Bravo Theater**. It’s rare to find someone who combines craftsmanship, integrity, and genuine care for their clients the way he does.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just had our roof done last week, and Mark managed the entire project. He even helped us with the design, which turned out great. On top of that, his guys noticed that our backyard sliding door wasn’t working properly and helped fix it on the spot. Way to go, guys — we will definitely recommend your business!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark was recommended to me by a contractor about 12 years ago. He replaced my room and gutters, ant the time I didn't know much about "good or bad" roof, but when I was selling my house few years later, I heart one of the realtors (he told me later that he used to be a roofer) tell his clients that rood on that house is done so well that it will outleave that house (and it was a brick ranch that wasn'tgoing anywherewith the next storm). When I purchased a new house, it had a "new" roof that was done by the company recommended by insurance adjuster. About a year after moving in I started heaving problems with it (my chimney was leaking, piece of plywood on my garage roof rotted out...) he was always there for me as soon as I called, and everything was done the right way. ( Saving money now for the new roof in siding, so Mark can get it done and I can forget about it forever)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark and his team did a great job fixing my roof after issues left by a previous contractor. They repaired problems with the stucco wall, properly installed flashing where it had been done incorrectly before by a different contractor, and removed and replaced rotten wood siding, custom-cut to the correct length and width. They also resolved a long-running issue with the balconies where water was getting into the house, replacing the rotten flooring with composite material. Communication was clear, they explained everything along the way, and were very professional. Highly recommend.

Can't say enough good things. The owner and his crews work with highest quality and unparalleled attention to detail. Owner has decades of experience in this area and is able to help with making right decisions without upsell.
Cannot recommend this business high enough.

Siding FAQ

What Illinois homeowners ask us before getting a siding estimate.

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.

What's the best siding material for Chicago's climate?

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.

Can you repair siding after a hail or wind storm?

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.

How much does it cost to repair siding in Chicago?

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.

Should I repair siding and roofing at the same time?

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.
