Joliet Siding Installation

Joliet has a lot of brick. Full brick, brick fronts with frame sides, brick to the beltline and siding above.

That changes the job. Siding a house that's part masonry is a different piece of work than siding one that's frame all the way around, and most of the difficulty is at the line where the two meet.

Siding a House That's Part Brick

Three things come up on nearly every one of these.

The Transition Line

Where siding meets brick is where water finds its way in. That joint needs proper flashing and a termination that sheds water away from the masonry rather than into it. Done wrong, it's invisible for two years and then it isn't.

Brick That's Staying

If the brick front is sound and only the frame walls need siding, we work to it rather than around it. Color and profile get chosen against the brick you already have, not from a catalog.

Old Frame Walls Behind Old Siding

On a house where the siding has been on since the seventies, what's underneath is often the real story. We check the sheathing before anything new goes up, and we tell you what we find before it's covered.

How We Replace Siding in Joliet

The parts of the job most quotes don't mention.

Flashing at Every Junction

Windows, doors, rooflines, and the brick line all get flashed as we go. This is the part that doesn't show and the part that determines whether the wall stays dry.

Working Around Existing Masonry

We don't cut into sound brick to make siding easier. Terminations and trim get detailed to the masonry that's there.

Gutters, Downspouts, and Attachments

Everything mounted to the wall comes off and goes back on properly. Downspouts and light fixtures reattached through the panel the wrong way are a common source of leaks on a job that otherwise went fine.

Cleanup

Siding work produces a lot of offcuts and nails. We run a magnet over the yard before we leave — the part people notice a month later when they're mowing.
