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.

Posted on Google Zachary ZimmerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Aegis was great to work with on my roof replacement and home insurance claim. Howard was awesome! The process was smooth and Howard did all the heavy lifting with insurance company. All the work and final billings were exactly as described by Howard, no surprises. Thanks again!Posted on Google Eli M. GalaydaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with Howard B. from Aegis during a home insurance claim, and I’m very glad we did. From the beginning, Howard was patient, steady, and extremely thorough. He took the time to understand the full scope of the damage, walked us through what to expect, and never rushed the process just to move things along. He was present on site when work was being done... always making sure nothing was missed and that the details were documented correctly. What I appreciated most was how he stayed involved throughout the entire claim. Howard handled communication with the insurance company directly and consistently. Whenever there were questions or pushback, he responded with clear documentation and evidence... not opinions or assumptions. That made a huge difference in keeping things accurate and complete. He was also very responsive and easy to work with... always available to explain what was happening and why (even with questions that came after everything was paid). Highly recommend the Howard + Aegis combo.Posted on Google Mackenzie DrosdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Aegis recently completed some repairs on our roof.
