Frequently Asked Questions
About Wood Siding
How long can wood siding last in Joliet’s tough climate?
With professional installation and a bit of TLC, your wood siding can last anywhere from 30 to 50 years (or more!). We’re not just talking about looking good for a few seasons — our expert installation techniques and high-quality materials are built to handle everything Joliet’s weather throws at your home. From scorching summers to icy winters, your wood siding will stand the test of time with the right care.What’s the typical cost of wood siding for a home in Joliet?
A great siding project is an investment, and wood siding costs generally range from $10,000 to $30,000.

But no need to guess — we provide transparent, personalized quotes so you know exactly what to expect, ensuring you get maximum value for your money.What kind of maintenance will my wood siding need in Joliet?
Joliet’s seasons can be unpredictable, but with a little maintenance, your wood siding will keep looking fresh. Plan for a professional inspection every 2-3 years to check for any wear, and be ready for refinishing every 4-6 years. We’ll help you create a tailored maintenance plan that fits your home and ensures your siding stays protected from our region’s unique weather patterns.Can wood siding be installed over my existing exterior?
In some cases, yes! However, for the best results, we often recommend removing the current siding to address any hidden issues.
