Siding Contractor in the Chicago Area.
Siding does two jobs at once. It protects your home from moisture, wind, and temperature extremes, and it defines how the exterior looks from the street. We install vinyl, fiber cement, and brick siding on homes throughout the Chicago area.
01 / Siding That Protects and Looks Right
When Siding Fails, Both Jobs Suffer.
Siding does two jobs at once. It protects your home from moisture, wind, and temperature extremes, and it defines how the exterior looks from the street. When it’s failing or outdated, both of those functions suffer.
New siding, installed correctly with the right material for your home and neighborhood, improves the protection and the curb appeal at the same time. RX Roofing & Construction installs vinyl, fiber cement, and brick siding on homes throughout the Chicago area. We work with all three material types, and we give you honest guidance on which one fits your property, your budget, and your long-term goals.
02 / Siding Materials We Install
Three Materials, One Honest Recommendation.
We work with all three siding materials we offer, so we’re not steering you toward one option because it’s the only one we install. Here’s a plain breakdown of each.
Vinyl Siding
The most widely installed residential siding material in the area. Vinyl is low-maintenance, available in a wide range of profiles and colors, and cost-effective on most home sizes. Modern vinyl products have improved a lot in quality and realistic appearance. For standard homes where a durable, affordable, low-maintenance exterior is the goal, vinyl is a strong option.
Fiber Cement Siding
A premium siding material made from a blend of cement, sand, and cellulose fiber. It’s harder than vinyl, more resistant to impact and fire, and holds paint well over time. Fiber cement handles the Midwest’s freeze-thaw cycling and temperature swings better than wood-based alternatives. If you want the look of wood or a more premium profile without the maintenance, fiber cement is the right step up from vinyl.
Brick Siding
Brick veneer gives a home the look and durability of brick construction without the structural requirements of full masonry. For homes where the architecture calls for it, brick siding adds permanence, curb appeal, and a property character that vinyl and fiber cement don’t replicate. It’s the most durable of the three exterior options and needs the least ongoing maintenance once installed properly.
03 / Installation & Replacement
The Detail Work Is Where Siding Jobs Go Right or Wrong.
Whether you’re replacing failing siding or installing new siding as part of a renovation or construction project, the scope is similar. We remove what’s there if we’re replacing, prepare the wall surface and any damaged sheathing, install the new material correctly with proper flashing and sealing, and finish the trim.
Siding that isn’t properly sealed at doors, corners, and penetrations lets moisture get behind the panels, which causes damage to the wall structure that doesn’t show up for years. We install all three material types to the manufacturer’s specifications, including the flashing and sealing details that protect the wall behind the siding.
- Remove old siding and prep the wall surface
- Repair any damaged sheathing underneath
- Install with proper flashing and sealing
- Finish the trim to the manufacturer's spec
04 / Siding Repair
Not Every Issue Needs a Full Replacement.
Isolated damage from hail, impact, or age can often be repaired by replacing the affected sections. When a repair won’t match the surrounding material well enough to look right, or when the damage is widespread enough that replacement makes more sense, we’ll tell you which direction to go.
We handle targeted repairs on all three siding materials. The goal is simple. Fix what can be fixed, replace what should be replaced, and give you a straight answer either way.
05 / Storm Damage to Siding
Hail Hits the Siding Too, Not Just the Roof.
Hailstorms are one of the most common causes of siding damage in the Chicago area. When a storm hits your home, the roof usually gets the first inspection, but the siding takes impact too.
Vinyl Cracks & Punctures
Hail cracks and punctures vinyl panels, which lets water find its way behind the siding over time.
Fiber Cement Chips
Hail chips and fractures fiber cement, which can compromise the surface and the finish.
Metal Trim Dents
Hail dents metal trim, which shows the impact a storm left behind on the exterior.
When siding damage is storm-related, your homeowners insurance policy likely covers it, often alongside any roof damage from the same event. We inspect both during the same visit and document the full scope for your insurance claim.

06 / Common Questions
Siding Questions, Answered Straight.
That depends on your home, your neighborhood’s look, your priorities, and your budget. Vinyl is low-maintenance, affordable, and a strong fit for most standard homes. Fiber cement is harder, more resistant to impact and fire, and a step up if you want a more premium look without the upkeep of wood. Brick is the most durable and needs the least maintenance once it’s in. Because we install all three, we give you an honest recommendation instead of pushing one option.
