Signs That Siding Repairs Are Needed to Keep Your
Chicagoland Home Looking Great and Water Tight
Siding damage comes in many different shapes and sizes. While the causes are common, each siding repair project we take on is slightly different. Explore the most common reasons we’re called for help.
Siding Cracks, Holes & Intrusions
Hail. Extreme wind. Improper installation techniques. Water. Foundation settling. Woodpeckers. Pests. These are some of the causes of cracks, holes, and intrusions in your Chicagoland home’s exterior siding. Our team can swoop in and assess and fix everything in record time. It’s one of our local calling cards and we’re one of few in the area that does this type of work. It’s also important to note – you don’t want to put these issues off as the problem will just continue to grow and become more costly to repair.
Wind Damage – Missing Siding
Wind damage is one of the leading causes of siding repairs. If you’re missing one piece of siding or if a whole section of your home’s exterior is damaged by excessive wind, we only use high quality-tools, supplies and materials to make you and your home whole again.
Moisture Damage – Rot, Mold & Mildew
Another significant threat to siding systems in our region is extreme moisture levels in the spring and winter seasons—rain, snow, and hail. Without proper upkeep and maintenance, rot, mold, and mildew will inevitably start to take hold and threaten your siding’s integrity. Why wait, when our teams handle these issues regularly throughout the year?
Siding That’s Buckled Or Warped
Siding can warp and buckle for several reasons: inferior siding materials, excessive heat exposure, moisture-related deterioration, pests, and poor installation. Where other Chicagoland exterior remodelers will shy away, we’ll restore your home to its full glory through high-caliber workmanship.
You’ve Got A Pest Problem
Chicagoland has its share of pests that would love nothing more than to set up shop in your home’s comfortable siding. Woodpeckers, squirrels, ants, bees—you name it. We’re not exterminators, but we can fix and restore your home’s siding, soffits and fascia with materials that are essentially bug-proofed, like fiber cement (James Hardie), vinyl (CertainTeed), engineered wood (LP) and metal.

This review is long overdue, but I am reminded that I need to do this each time I receive a compliment about my home. We hired Apex to do our siding and roof last year. Not only did our house turn out beautiful, but the entire process went smooth and quick. Near the end of the project, my husband made a last minute change to add cedar shake to our attic windows, which was handled without any issue. All staff from the first phone call, sales team, and construction crew were professional and knowledgable. They also cleaned up our property perfectly after all the mess!

They handled my window installations quickly and when they were done everything was cleaned up as if they weren't there. A Quality Commitment, Nick, went to each window to confirm all parts worked properly as well as made sure the windows closed and latched before the workers left. The workers were very respectful and a delight to deal with. I am currently contracting the company again to do my siding.
I will be returning to them when it makes sense…
Apex was fantastic to work with. They came out quickly to assess my roof and walk me through my options. Despite a new roof installation being in their best interest, they were willing to install a temporary tarp right away to prevent further damage while we weighed the best solution long-term. I will be returning to them when it makes sense to install a new roof.
Important Residential Siding Repair FAQs
How Long Have You Been In The Siding Business?
We’ve been in the Chicagoland exterior remodeling industry since the late 1980s, when we were known by a different name. When a partner retired and we wanted to expand our company’s reach, we switched names to Apex Exteriors in 2008. Learn more about our company’s story. Siding installation and repairs are a very significant portion of our business. It’s second to only roofing…and not by much. With that history combined with our siding business concentration, you can be confident in knowing you are dealing with a legitimate siding contractor and not some “fly by night” shop.
Could I Finance My Siding Repair If Needed?
In most cases, financing for siding repair isn’t needed unless we’re talking about extensive damage on a large, complex home. Regardless, if you give us a call we’ll be happy to share information and answer your questions. You can also tell your Apex Exteriors project consultant you’re interested and they’ll fill you in. Also, you can visit our Financing page.
Why should I hire Apex Exteriors to replace my siding?
Great question! Below are the top (5) reasons you should seriously consider hiring Apex Exteriors to install your new siding:
Experience
We have been installing and repairing siding for over 30 years in Chicagoland so we’ve literally seen it all. This makes a difference because our crew has decades of experience removing, repairing and replacing siding for homeowners. This also tells you that we are in it for the long haul… so if a problem does arise years from now, we will be here to remedy the situation with empathy and professionalism
Reputation
We have worked diligently to exceed our customers’ expectations, and the proof of those efforts can be found from our reputation online. We have earned 250+ Google Reviews with a 4.8 star rating, earned an A+ rating from the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and have enthusiastic reviews on other review sites like Facebook, Angi and Houzz. You don’t earn this by being average. You don’t even get here by being good at just installing new siding on a home. We found ourselves here because every employee shows up every day for our customers and we take real pride in our work and it shows.
Labor
Unlike most of the competition, we DO NOT hire out subcontractors to install new siding on our customers’ homes. We exclusively deploy full-time in house crewmembers that are continuously trained to OSHA safety standards, fall protection training, as well as siding installation best practices which keep our installation teams out in front of our competition. This is a critical point because subcontractors are often unskilled, unsafe, and unreliable causing major issues on how the siding was installed to your home, the longevity of the installation and for meeting the timeline agreed upon when you signed a contract. Don’t take unnecessary risks with protecting and maintaining what is likely your largest investment. We won’t be.
Certifications & Credentials
We are very proud to have earned the highest level of credentials with James Hardie, the maker of highly sought after “Hardie Board”, “Hardie Plank” and “Hardie Shingle” fiber cement premium siding products. We have earned the Hardie Elite Preferred status due to the volume of product we install on homes and buildings in our market but as importantly, because of the extensive training our installation teams have received from James Hardie ensuring that our installations are “by the book” and exactly how James Hardie requires. The required tools, caulking, fastening and flashing are unique to Hardie Board and strict adherence to installation best practices are necessary.
The benefits of this knowledge and partnership are numerous. First off, this gives our customers true peace of mind knowing that a substantial investment in their home’s exterior is going to be completed following the MFG’s best practices the first time by true installation experts. You would be shocked at how many times we’ve had to reinstall Hardie Siding on a home after the homeowner originally hired the “B-Team.” Lastly, the adherence to these strict manufacturer standards also helps to solidify the product’s 30-year non-prorated warranty. It quite literally puts us in the top 1% of local siding companies and that’s a real distinction with a real difference that our customers value.
Additionally, we have earned the highest level of credentialing with CertainTeed, the maker of the finest replacement vinyl siding available. This is now known as the CertainTeed SidingMaster Premier and formerly known as CertainTeed SidingMaster Select status. This honor places us in the top 1% of siding installation contractors in our market. The combination of the volume of product we purchase and install, as well as the extensive training and continued education requirements we must meet, elevates Apex Exteriors into exclusive company.
Siding Materials
Siding replacement is really only as good as the siding materials used and the crew actually installing it. Why do we install so much James Hardie fiber cement and CertainTeed vinyl siding? Because they are true leaders in their category and our customers demand and expect the best. The nearly endless color options and profile selection options with James Hardie products (Hardie Plank, Hardie Panel, Hardie Trim Batten Boards, Hardie Shingle) and profile options of CertainTeed replacement vinyl siding (Beaded, Shakes and Shingles, Board & Batten, Dutchlap, Rough Sawn, and Smooth) really deliver on our customers’ design goals. Sure, we install other products like AZEK lap siding, LP SmartSide, Mastic, and even real cedar siding, but from a cost/benefits perspective these are our top (2) brands we install often and for good reason.
The deep partnerships and accreditations we have earned with both James Hardie and CertainTeed also allow us to provide unmatched extended warranties directly to our customers. This is a real difference our customers’ value and we hope you will too.
What Siding Products or Materials Do You Use?
Apex Exteriors proudly installs premium vinyl siding by brands like CertainTeed and Mastic (PlyGem). We also install a lot of fiber cement siding by the category leader, James Hardie (Hardie Plank, Hardie Board, Hardie Architectural Panel, Hardie Shingle, Hardie Soffit, Hardie Trim, Hardie Artisan Siding, and Hardie Board & Batten). Additionally, we install more than our fair share of engineered wood siding and trim by LP (Louisiana-Pacific) known as LP SmartSide (Lap Siding, Trim & Fascia, Nickel Gap Siding, Soffit, and Shake Lap Siding).
We also use AZEK Exteriors PVC siding and trim that is quickly gaining popularity due to its extreme durability characteristics. Aluminum siding is nearly extinct due to the cost and alternatives available, but we do carry a metal siding product by EDCO which is made from hot-dipped galvanized steel.
For something altogether different, we also carry and install an engineered mortarless stone veneer product called Versetta Stone which looks great for full exterior walls and accents. Lastly, we still install the “oldies but goodies” like natural western red cedar & eastern white cedar plank/clapboard/lap siding as well as cedar shingle siding. Sadly we do less and less cedar installation as the years go by due to the ever-increasing costs of natural cedar and the increased competition of man-made alternatives like James Hardie and LP SmartSide that accurately mimic the look of natural cedar with the additional benefits of being nearly maintenance free that today’s customer demands.
Is Your Company Licensed, Bonded & Insured?
This is an important question to ask before signing any contract for any work to be performed on your home by a contractor. Apex Exteriors does hold local licenses in all applicable cities and municipalities that require contractors to be licensed for all work performed in Illinois. We are also insured with an umbrella policy of $5,000,000 in coverage.
Being “bonded” basically translates to that we (Apex Exteriors) has purchased a surety bond, also known as a third-party guarantee, that is built to protect you financially if we were to fail to complete the job you contracted us to perform, or if we were to violate the terms of our agreement/contract, and lastly if we were to fail to pay our suppliers or applicable subcontractors.We can also pull any required permits in your city/municipality per your request. FYI – The state of Illinois does not require a license to operate a siding installation company.
What Types Of Siding Can You Repair?
We work with basically all of the most common siding types you see in the Chicagoland area and then some: Vinyl, fiber cement (James Hardie), metal, engineered wood (LP SmartSide), faux cedar options, actual cedar siding, cedar shingle, pine, and more. It’s worth mentioning that we specialize in siding repairs and installs and as such, we send specific team members (in-house, not subcontractors) to your home with the material expertise your home requires ensuring the repair is done properly, expertly, the first time. We will never send “generalists” to your property to fix your siding issues.
