Why Replace Siding and Windows Together?

Doing both at the same time saves labor costs, improves insulation, and ensures a unified design. In Chicago’s climate, it’s a smart way to weatherproof your home.

Step 1: Inspect Your Home’s Exterior

Look for peeling paint, warped siding, or drafty windows. Rising energy bills are also a red flag.

Step 2: Choose Energy-Efficient Materials

  • Vinyl siding: Affordable and weather-resistant
  • Fiber cement siding: Strong and fire-resistant
  • Engineered wood siding: Offers a natural look with durability
  • Energy Star windows: Reduce drafts and energy loss

Step 3: Prepare for the Installation

Professional crews typically:

  • Remove old siding and windows
  • Repair any rotted or damaged framing
  • Apply insulation or house wrap

Step 4: Install New Siding and Windows

  • Windows are fitted and sealed first
  • Siding panels are installed for weather protection
  • Caulking and trim are applied for a polished finish

Step 5: Post-Installation Inspection

Ensure everything is sealed properly. Check warranties on siding and windows to secure your investment.
