Your home's siding is the first line of defense against everything Chicagoland's climate can deliver — sub-zero wind chills, ice storms, driving rain, summer hail, and intense UV exposure. When siding fails, moisture infiltrates the wall cavity, insulation becomes saturated, sheathing rots, and mold takes hold. What starts as a cracked panel or a missing section of clapboard can quickly escalate into a structural and health issue if left unaddressed.
