Home Exterior Repair & Siding Repair

Far shot of man working on wall
Siding repair, stucco repair and restoration

Weather can be tough on our exteriors especially this far north and this close to the lake. Ideally, siding, stucco and other surfaces should be inspected annually to keep them well maintained and protecting your house as they were designed to do. Most of the siding work we do is repair and restoration but when you need or want an upgrade, we are glad to help. Today’s options include many materials that will increase the value of your house, upgrade its look and keep future maintenance needs to a minimum. We help our clients make the best decisions for their homes with quality and warrantable solutions that take into account Chicago’s weather extremes.

We are available for free advice on any project and while the majority of proposals we give are also free, your particular project may require us to charge an initial estimating fee, which would then be deducted from the project’s cost. Request an estimate to get the process started and we’ll get back to you with the details.
