Full siding replacement for Chicago homes. Upgrade from outdated vinyl, wood, or aluminum to modern fiber cement or engineered wood. Transform your home's exterior.
There comes a point in every home's life when patching and repairing siding no longer makes financial sense. When panels are warped across multiple elevations, paint peels within a year of application, wood rot has infiltrated the sheathing behind the exterior, or the material has simply reached the end of its useful life, a complete siding replacement is the reset button that restores protection, energy efficiency, and curb appeal simultaneously.
A full siding replacement in the Chicagoland area is also an opportunity to upgrade your home's thermal envelope. Many homes built before 2000, and virtually all homes built before 1980, have minimal insulation between the siding and the wall sheathing. When old siding comes off, we can install rigid foam insulation board or insulated housewrap that dramatically reduces air infiltration and thermal bridging through wall studs. In a climate where heating costs dominate household energy budgets from October through April, this upgrade often pays for itself in reduced Nicor Gas bills within five to seven years.
Cornerstone Roofing Co. approaches every siding replacement as a systems project, not just a cosmetic facelift. We evaluate the entire wall assembly from the interior drywall outward: vapor barrier placement, insulation adequacy, sheathing condition, housewrap integrity, flashing at windows and doors, and finally the siding itself. This holistic perspective ensures that your new siding performs as intended and that no hidden moisture problems are sealed behind an expensive new exterior.
The durability of a siding replacement is determined by the material selected and the quality of installation. James Hardie fiber cement lasts 40-50 years with minimal maintenance. LP SmartSide engineered wood performs for 30-40 years with periodic refinishing. Premium vinyl lasts 25-40 years maintenance-free. Cornerstone's installation practices meet or exceed all manufacturer requirements, ensuring your warranty is fully valid from day one.
