Siding Contractors Serving Wheeling, IL 60090

If damage is limited to a few panels and the rest is solid, repair is usually right and can extend life by 5 to 10 years. If problems show up on multiple walls, the siding is over 20 years old, or you have repaired the same areas more than once, full replacement is the smarter long-term investment.

Illinois weather swings from brutal summer heat and humidity to winters with sub-zero wind chills. The Chicago area gets lake-effect moisture that adds an extra layer of challenge. Wind is constant. Siding installations need to account for extreme temperature ranges and wind-driven rain. Wheeling homes face this every year. Sun fades colors. Water sneaks into seams. Heat and cold push every joint and fastener. Quality installation and a little upkeep are your best protection. The most common problem we see in the Wheeling area is moisture getting behind panels due to improper original installation or deteriorating caulking. Early inspection prevents small problems from becoming expensive full replacements.
