As a certified Vinyl Siding Installer (VSI), Aegis meets a higher installation standard than most siding contractors serving the Chicago market. For fiber cement, cedar, and metal systems, we follow manufacturer specifications precisely because that is what your product warranty requires and what your home deserves.
Siding Materials We Install
Choosing the right siding material for a Chicago home is a decision that will affect your home’s performance and appearance for the next two to five decades. We install all major residential siding systems and will give you an honest recommendation based on your home’s architecture, your budget, and Chicago’s specific performance demands, not based on what has the highest margin for us.
Vinyl Siding
The most widely installed siding in the Chicago market, and for good reason. Vinyl is cost-effective, waterproof, low-maintenance, and engineered to handle temperature extremes. Insulated vinyl adds a continuous layer of rigid foam behind the panels that improves energy efficiency and can frequently be installed over existing siding, reducing labor cost and project disruption. As VSI-certified installers, Aegis brings a measurably higher standard to every vinyl project. Lifespan: 20 to 30 years.
Hardie Board (Fiber Cement Siding)
James Hardie fiber cement is the benchmark for durability in Chicago's climate. It resists moisture, fire, insects, and impact. It holds paint longer than wood and does not swell, rot, or crack under freeze-thaw stress. Available in lap siding, vertical panels, and shingles, it suits both contemporary builds and classic Chicago home styles. For homeowners who want the lowest lifetime cost of ownership and the strongest weather performance, Hardie is the standard. Lifespan: 30 to 50 years.
Metal Siding
Aluminum and steel siding offer exceptional longevity and a clean, modern aesthetic that suits contemporary Chicago properties. Metal is impervious to insects and rot, requires minimal maintenance, and performs reliably in extreme weather. Aluminum is lightweight and naturally rust-resistant. Steel is denser and more impact-resistant but requires a protective coating against corrosion. Both are excellent long-term investments for homeowners who prioritize durability and low upkeep. Lifespan: 40 to 50-plus years.
Cedar Siding
Cedar is the premium natural siding option and one of the best choices for Chicago homes where architectural character matters. Real cedar has natural resistance to insects and rot, excellent thermal insulation properties, and a visual warmth that no synthetic material fully replicates. It can be stained, oiled, or painted to achieve virtually any look and complements the historic architecture found throughout Chicago's established neighborhoods. Cedar requires more maintenance than synthetic options but delivers a level of beauty and authenticity that discerning homeowners consistently choose. Lifespan: 20 to 40 years with proper care.
Wood Siding
For vintage Chicago homes where matching original profiles and character is the priority, wood siding remains the most flexible and architecturally authentic option. Available in clapboard, horizontal lap, shingles, vertical board, and drop profiles, wood can be treated and finished in countless ways to match existing exterior elements on classic Chicago bungalows, two-flats, and Greystone frames. Wood requires the most maintenance of any siding option but offers unmatched design versatility for the right application.

Cracked, Chipped, or Broken Panels
Any breach in your siding surface is an open water entry point. In Chicago’s climate, a crack that seems minor in September becomes a moisture and freeze-thaw problem by January.
Warping or Buckling
Panels bowing outward or buckling inward are a sign of moisture intrusion, improper original installation, or both. Either way the wall assembly behind that section deserves a professional look.
Loose or Missing Panels
Chicago storms can lead to storm damage that routinely exposes improperly fastened panels. Missing sections leave your sheathing directly exposed and require immediate attention.
Mold, Mildew, or Soft Spots
Visible mold or soft areas on or around siding panels mean moisture has already penetrated the surface layer. This is not a cleaning problem. It is a structural one that requires assessment and repair before the next rain.
Higher Heating or Cooling Bills
Deteriorated or improperly installed siding allows conditioned air to escape and outside air to infiltrate. If your energy costs have risen without a clear explanation, your siding’s insulating performance may have degraded.
Peeling Paint or Heavy Fading
On painted or factory-finished siding, significant fading or peeling signals the protective coating has failed. The material beneath is now exposed to UV, moisture, and freeze-thaw stress without its primary defense layer.
Siding Approaching or Past Its Expected Lifespan
If your siding is 20 or more years old and has never been professionally inspected, schedule one before the next major storm season. Identifying degradation early is almost always less expensive than responding to it after the fact.
Signs Your Siding Is Failing Before It Becomes a Bigger Problem
Chicago homeowners who catch siding problems early pay for a repair. Those who catch them late pay for a repair plus the water damage behind it. Here is what to watch for:

Frequently Asked Questions - Siding Repairs
How long does siding last?
The lifespan of siding depends on the material and how well it’s maintained. Vinyl siding typically lasts 20–30 years, while fiber cement (Hardie® board) and metal siding can last 30–50 years or more. Wood siding can also last decades with proper maintenance, including sealing and staining. Regular inspections and timely repairs can help extend the life of any siding material.
How do I know if my siding needs repair?
Common signs your siding may need repairs include visible cracks, warping, loose panels, fading color, or higher energy bills. You may also notice moisture issues such as mold, mildew, or water stains inside your home. If your siding has been exposed to severe weather, it’s a good idea to schedule a professional inspection to catch hidden damage early.
Can I install siding over existing siding?
In some cases, yes, especially with materials like insulated vinyl siding, which can be installed over existing siding if the structure underneath is in good condition. However, if there is significant damage, moisture issues, or uneven surfaces, it’s usually best to remove the old siding to ensure a proper and long-lasting installation. A professional inspection can determine the best approach for your home.
What siding materials are best for Chicago-area homes?
Homes in the Chicago area need siding that can handle extreme temperature changes, moisture, and storms. Popular choices include vinyl siding for affordability and low maintenance, fiber cement (Hardie® board) for durability and weather resistance, and metal siding for longevity. Cedar and other wood options are also great for aesthetics but may require more maintenance. The best option depends on your budget, style preferences, and maintenance expectations.
How much does siding installation or repair cost?
The cost of siding services varies based on the size of your home, the material you choose, and the extent of repairs or replacement needed. Minor repairs are generally more affordable, while full siding installation is a larger investment. Materials like vinyl tend to be more budget-friendly, while fiber cement, metal, or wood may cost more upfront but offer long-term value. The best way to get accurate pricing is to schedule a free inspection and estimate with Aegis.
Hear From Our Clients
Posted on Google Neil SchwanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After hail damage hit our roof, we called Aegis Construction, it turned out to be one of the smoother home repair experiences we've had, and that's saying something when insurance is involved. Our rep, Zach Greenberger, walked us through every step of the claims process and was always available when we had questions. They had a huge selection of high quality materials to choose from, showed up exactly when they said they would, and the crew did beautiful, clean work from start to finish. They even managed to sneak in a few upgrades to the house while still keeping everything within what our insurance covered. Aegis actually has a real facilities and offices, right here in Elmhurst and Villa Park, so you know they're not disappearing after a storm rolls through. Highly recommend them for any roofing or gutter work, hail damage or any other exterior projects you might have.Posted on Google Lindsey HauserTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike and the team were super helpful navigating insurance and construction. I absolutely recommend.Posted on Google Kate CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the very first phone call, my experience with Aegis Construction Group, Inc. has been exceptional. A few months ago, Mike came out to inspect my roof, and I was incredibly impressed with how thorough, honest, and professional he was. He took the time to carefully inspect everything and reassured me that my roof was in great shape. I truly appreciated that he wasn’t trying to sell me something I didn’t need. Unfortunately, our area has been hit hard with several severe storms since then, including another one after Mike’s inspection. I called Jake, the manager, to share my concerns, and without hesitation, he immediately arranged for someone to come back out and inspect my roof again just to make sure no new damage had occurred. That level of customer service is hard to find. The entire team genuinely cares about homeowners and goes above and beyond to provide honest advice, peace of mind, and outstanding service. It’s easy to see why Aegis Construction Group has so many glowing reviews, they’ve certainly earned them. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and responsive roofing company, I can’t recommend Aegis Construction Group, Inc. enough. Thank you to Mike, Jake, and the entire team for your professionalism, integrity, and exceptional customer care!Posted on Google Jon HerreraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After many attempts on finding a roofing company, Aegis was the only one to respond to my calls. Not only did they respond, but they did responded right away! I forgot who I talked to first but he was very responsive to me even during a difficult time he was going through. From there he sent over one of his guys to help me. I was helped by Bryan. He always kept in touch with me on what the plan was. He was on top of it. He also explained how some insurance companies worked and guided me throughout the whole process. While we were waiting for the shingles to arrive, they tarped the area of the roof that was damaged. I forgot who worked on my roof but he was done within an hour or so. Granted, it was a few shingles that had to be replaced. They also noticed my front siding was missing a piece and offered to fix it up as well. Amazing work and customer service from all the guys here.Posted on Google Michael AdamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been involved with public project management for 40 years, and my experience with Aegis Construction Group (for my personal home roof and gutter replacement caused by hail damage) by far is one of the best contractor’s, especially Nico Buccieri, that I’ve worked with that included but not limited to: initial roof inspection, acceptance of Owner requested contractual terms & conditions, worker safety (OSHA compliance), contract administration/documentation (addendums, owner initiated change orders, waiver of liens, invoices, etc), insurance administration/cost negotiations, ethical, subcontractor management, material options, overall client communication, quality of workmanship and fair pricing. Based on my specific experience I would consider rehiring Aegis for any future work.Posted on Google Jennifer MeyerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a bad August storm we had our roof replaced. Howard from Aegis walked us through the insurance claims process and was in constant contact. Great guy to work with and enjoyable to talk to. Moshi was great as well. They both made the whole process seamless. Very glad I went with Aegis and I highly recommend them!Posted on Google Carol MikulskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Aegis replaced my roof, soffits, gutters and downspouts. The quality of work, quality of products used, their amazing construction crews, the clean up, the finished product and communication during the construction was so much better than l anticipated. If possible l would give them more than 5 stars.Posted on Google Saraju PatelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you need your roof done, go with Carmen Curio (with Aegis Construction Group ) . He has my highest recommendation. He has been diligently working through my situation with me since October(!), helping me through each phase of the process. I don't want to go into too much detail here, but it all began when he alerted me to some red flags that were so disheartening at the time, but really ended up saving me a LOT of money and hassles in the long run. Every time I text him, he replies promptly and never gives the impression that I'm annoying him...even though my friends all know how annoying I actually am. The roof is done, but the insurance process is not...and he is still going the extra mile to help me through it (even though Aegis Construction has been paid and Carmen has nothing really left to gain financially). I feel like most people/companies in the same position just move on to the next paycheck, providing the "extra mile" only to secure the job. This, in and of itself, speaks volumes about him and Aegis. They are the real deal. Thank you, Carmen. I know I'm not your friend, but you're a friend.Posted on Google Betsy SkibinskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I feel your new website is most impressive, covering all questions a perspective buyer would be thinking. When mentioning siding, towns are mentioned...then it is stated plus...."surrounding towns ". What would those towns be? Might become a make or break it for customer.Posted on Google Spencer Ten HakenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 100% recommend Aegis!! We had hail damage to our roof right before an out-of-state move, and gave Aegis a call to help us out. Kenny and Rae handled all the back and forth with insurance, worked hard to get us a fair adjustment, and provided us photos and updates along the way. The work was done very promptly, and they made a very stressful situation as smooth as could be.
