Why Many Siding Projects Fail
Replacing siding is a big investment, but many Chicago homeowners unknowingly make mistakes that shorten its lifespan and reduce curb appeal. Avoiding these pitfalls ensures your new siding performs and looks great for decades.
Mistake 1: Choosing the Wrong Material
Chicago’s climate is unforgiving. Picking siding that can’t withstand humidity or extreme cold leads to premature cracking and fading.
Mistake 2: Skipping Weatherproofing
Moisture barriers and insulation are critical in Chicago. Without them, water seeps behind siding and causes mold or rot.
Mistake 3: DIY Installation
Improperly nailed or aligned panels buckle under temperature swings. Professional installation ensures siding lasts.
Mistake 4: Ignoring Ventilation
Siding needs airflow. Poor ventilation traps moisture and creates long-term structural issues.
Mistake 5: Hiring the Lowest Bidder
Cheapest rarely means best. Contractors who cut corners risk leaving you with warped siding and hidden water damage.
