The Siding on a Lot of Roscoe Homes Is Hitting Its Age
A lot of Roscoe houses still have the vinyl they were built with: thin, builder-grade panels in a handful of light colors. After twenty-some years, that kind of siding tends to be faded on the sunny sides, cracked where the mower kicked up rocks, and loose at the bottom where wind gets under it.
The good news is that a newer house usually has solid sheathing and straight walls, so re-siding is quick. A typical Roscoe siding job takes 1 to 2 days, and most get new house wrap before the new panels go on. If you’ve got one of the older farmhouses or the original homes near downtown, plan on a little more prep. Whatever is on the walls now, including old asbestos siding, we handle removal.
Picking Between Vinyl and James Hardie
Vinyl is what most of our Roscoe neighbors choose. We install Mastic and Norandex. Today’s panels are thicker and hold color better than what went up twenty years ago, and there are far more colors and profiles than the builder offered. Installed right, vinyl often lasts 20 to 40 years. Insulated panels are worth a look on the big two-stories, where the north wall takes a beating in January.
James Hardie fiber cement is the step up. It’s heavier and non-combustible, it stands up better to hail and impact, and the deeper shadow lines make a newer house look more custom. Plenty of Roscoe homeowners put Hardie on the front elevation and use matching vinyl on the sides. It costs more up front, and it’s backed by James Hardie’s own product warranty.
We bring samples to your house so you can hold them up against your roof and trim in daylight. Colors look different on a sample board inside a showroom. For a side-by-side look, read our guide to James Hardie vs vinyl siding.
A Certified James Hardie Installer on Main Street
Martin Exteriors is a Certified James Hardie Installer, and our main office sits at 11704 Main St in Roscoe. James Hardie certified us to install its fiber cement siding. If vinyl fits your house and budget better, we install Mastic and Norandex too, and we’ll give you a straight answer on which one makes sense.
You also don’t have to wait for spring. We install year-round, winter included, and most siding jobs are done in 1 to 2 days. So if a panel blew loose or the old vinyl cracked in the cold, you don’t have to stare at it until April.
Siding estimates are free for homeowners. We come to your house and look over every wall. Then you get a written price. If a repair makes more sense than new siding, we’ll tell you. Financing is available with payments as low as $149/month for qualified buyers.

Stateline Weather
Strong wind is how vinyl gets pulled loose. When we install, every panel gets locked in and nailed with room to expand, so it stays put in the wind and doesn’t buckle on a hot day. Then there’s spring hail, summer storms and months of snow and ice. We install in winter too, handling vinyl with extra care in the cold.
Storm Damage on Your Siding
If hail cracked a few panels or a storm tore some off, it may be a repair and not a whole house. We’ll check whether your color and profile can still be matched, take photos, and tell you if it’s worth an insurance claim. If it isn’t, we’ll say so. More on storm damage repair.

Roof and Siding Together
If the roof on your Roscoe house went on at the same time as the original siding, both may be near the end of the road. Doing them together means one crew schedule and colors that are picked to go together. See our Roscoe roofing page, and our siding installation overview.
