Siding Options for West & Northwest Chicago Suburbs

Tired of dealing with weather-worn or dated exteriors? Choosing the right siding option from all the choices in the Chicago suburbs is a big decision.

Erdmann Exterior Designs guides homeowners through these choices with a designer’s eye and over 40 years of experience in the region. We specialize in creating beautiful, low-maintenance exteriors using premium products that withstand the harsh Midwest seasons and surpass the limitations of typical wood or basic vinyl siding.

Explore Our Siding Styles & Materials

Erdmann is proud to offer James Hardie siding and a full range of premium fiber cement solutions. These advanced house siding materials are engineered specifically for performance in Midwestern climates and deliver long-lasting color, durability, and exceptional curb appeal. 

Every siding customer in Arlington Heights and neighboring communities working with Erdmann Exterior Designs can choose between these high-quality, custom options:

• Lap siding: Featuring timeless, clean horizontal lines, lap siding is a popular choice in suburban neighborhoods and matches a variety of architectural styles.

• Shake siding: With deep, stately texture, shake siding adds visual interest and is ideal for accent areas, gables, or even entire home facades.

• Vertical siding: This style creates a modern, architectural statement and is especially appealing on taller homes or those looking for something distinctive.

• Siding panels: Achieve a sleek, contemporary look with panels that can be installed alone or combined with other types for truly custom siding design.

All these siding types are designed to handle the Midwest’s demands, resisting moisture, pest damage, and color fading far better than wood or traditional vinyl.

Why Choose Fiber Cement Siding?

Fiber cement is quickly becoming the best siding for Chicago suburbs because it combines lasting beauty with robust protection. When you choose James Hardie fiber cement siding, you benefit from:

• Impressive resistance to rot, warping, and everyday impacts

• Non-combustible material for increased safety and peace of mind

• Minimal maintenance requirements throughout the years

• Reliable performance through freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal swings

• Consistent curb appeal with an array of attractive colors and finishes and superior color retention

Erdmann recommends James Hardie fiber cement because it consistently outperforms other materials in our climate and delivers both visual impact and lasting value for suburban homes.
