Siding Types We Work With And Suggest
To Most Chicagoland Homeowners
Over Three Decades Of Experience Has
Taught Us What Products Perform
One benefit of working with our Chicagoland team is that you get to cash in on our nearly 40 years of experience. When talking siding with us, you KNOW you won’t be steered wrong. We’ve been working with all kinds of siding products for decades, and FULLY understand what products work and just as importantly… which ones don’t.
Could our list of common siding types below change over time? Sure. The list isn’t exactly the same as it was 10, 20, or 30 years ago. Some brands and product lines, like James Hardie fiber cement (Hardie Board/Plank/Shake) LP SmartSide engineered wood and CertainTeed premium vinyl siding have proven themselves and become leaders in their category.
Others miss the mark, or their products fail to weather our extreme climate. We’re not going to be the first or second contractor to “test” a company’s new siding product offering on our customer’s home, rather we take the “wait and see” approach and let other contractors gamble with their client’s homes. Explore what kinds of siding we install on homes with pride, and if you have any questions, please contact us by phone or email as we would love to speak with you about your siding project goals!
We Install & Repair Almost Every
Siding Type For Chicagoland
Vinyl. Fiber cement. Engineered wood. Metal. Cedar clapboard/lap and cedar shingle siding. While we’ve worked with almost every siding product on the market, these are our specialties.
CertainTeed Vinyl Siding
CertainTeed’s fade-resistant vinyl siding is known throughout the country, not just the Chicagoland, for its durable, low-maintenance benefits. Interested in a woodgrain? Insulated? How about shakes and shingles? We ensure certified precision results.
James Hardie: Fiber Cement Siding
James Hardie fiber cement siding can withstand the Chicagoland’s most severe weather. It also stands up well to UV/hail and comes in many colors and styles like board & batten, plank, lap or clapboard, panel, shingle, rough sawn or smooth. Let’s not forget Hardie is MUCH thicker than most vinyl on the market and delivers a truly luxurious finish to any home.
LP SmartSide: Engineered Wood Siding
For many homeowners, LP’s engineered wood siding is a middle-ground choice between traditional cedar siding and fiber cement. The material is an oriented strand board (OSB) that’s been treated and coated for weatherability and then painted/stained for a beautiful finish.
Metal Siding Options
Metal and steel siding have grown in popularity in the Chicagoland region over the past decade. Manufacturing advancements have made them more durable and less susceptible to denting. These days, there is also a much wider spectrum of design options/styles for ultra modern aesthetics to more traditional applications.
Cedar Siding Or Cedar Shingles
Whether you’re interested in traditonal cedar clapboard or cedar shingle siding or a faux composite that looks and feels like the real thing, we’ll help you navigate your many options. Let’s find the right price point, style, texture, and color to meet your needs together.

I would recommend them 100%….
Very happy with the work done by Apex Exteriors. Start to finish went smooth and work done beyone my expectations. Appreciate the communication with all the workers throughout the days they were with me. I would recommend them 100%.
This is my 3rd time using Apex and each time…
I asked for someone to give me an estimate on just the front gutter of my 3 car garage and another for the entire house. A person came and looked over everything and got a quote back to me in two days. I decided on only the garage gutter for this year. No pressure from the company at all. They came out, did the work and it looks great. This is my 3rd time using Apex and each time I have been pleased.
Wonderful experience, thanks so much!
Important Chicagoland Residential Siding Services FAQs
Is Siding With Apex Exteriors Expensive?
We’re unlikely to be your lowest or your highest quote. We charge reasonable, transparent prices for quality siding products and the skilled workmanship our teams guarantee. Overall cost depends on the total amount of siding we’re installing and how complex your home is (small and simple or with far more architectural nuance). Rest assured, we don’t play pricing games.
Am I In Your Service Area?
Apex Exteriors has grown by leaps and bounds, but our Chicagoland service area remains the same. We serve Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin (Lake Geneva area). If you’re unsure whether we can help you, please visit our service areas page. You can also call us during business hours or use our website’s contact form, and we’ll happily let you know.
What Other Residential Exterior Services Do You Offer?
Along with siding services, we specialize in residential roof installation and roof repair, skylight replacement (as well as sun tunnel installations), window replacement, entry door replacement, gutter installation and gutter repair, and exterior remodeling for new homes.
Do You Only Install Certain Siding Brands?
Technically, our teams can install any kind of siding under the sun. However, not all kinds of siding (for example, thin, builder-grade vinyl) are going to last in the Chicagoland region. So, would we install something on your home that we know isn’t worth the money you’re paying? No. We can’t do that. But we can work with you to find the perfect siding for your project.
How Long Will It Take To Side My Home?
Apex Exteriors teams are efficient, skilled, and experienced at working together. Generally, they can finish an average home in a week or less. For the much larger homes we work on, as well as larger luxury new home construction projects, it takes longer for obvious reasons. Not to worry; your schedule will be communicated at every step.
Can I Finance My Siding Project With Apex?
We’ve been helping make exterior remodeling easier for Chicagoland homeowners from Day One. Just let us know you’d like more information on financing options, and we’ll be happy to fill you in.
