About Siding & Exterior in Chicago
Siding installation and exterior work protects your home from weather while defining its appearance. Options include vinyl, fiber cement (HardiePlank), wood, aluminum, and engineered wood. Proper installation with housewrap and flashing prevents moisture damage.
Typical costs: Vinyl siding runs $4–$8 per square foot installed. Fiber cement is $8–$14. Wood siding is $6–$12. A full re-side for a typical home costs $8,000–$25,000 depending on material.
Common projects include:
- Full house re-siding
- Partial siding repair and replacement
- Fiber cement (HardiePlank) installation
- Soffit and fascia replacement
- Exterior trim and finishing
Re-siding a home usually requires a building permit. Repairs on small sections typically don't.
