TYPES OF RESIDENTIAL SIDING
Different siding materials provide different features. Vinyl siding is durable, flexible, and versatile. It is also insulating, which improves your home’s energy efficiency rating. Vinyl siding does not conduct heat or cold and does not react to temperature. It is also made from a material that is the same color through its entire thickness, topped by a layer of protective coating. It will never flake, crack or peel – and there is never any need to paint it. Made from either aluminum or steel, metal siding is far less versatile than vinyl. It has a tendency to become rigid and break apart and is temperature conductive, meaning it will have a negative effect on your home’s insulating systems. Steel and aluminum siding is painted and can chip, peel, and fade over time. It is also more difficult to replace and may result in extensive repair work simply to fix a small area.
Vinyl siding provides a range of benefits:
- It makes your home more energy efficient
- It is high-performance and built to last
- It protects your home from heat, cold, and extreme weather
- Its beauty lasts a long time
- It is easy to clean and maintain
- Hundreds of colors
- Wide range of materials
- Fashionable finishes
- Increase the resale value of your home
If your siding is damaged, call the experts at Martin Exteriors Roofing & Siding. We have been elevating the beauty of Rockford neighborhoods for a long time and we’d love to give your home the TLC it deserves.
Siding can become damaged for a number of reasons:
- Wear and tear over time
- Storm-related damage
- Impact damage
- Damage caused by trees, animals or thrown objects
For most siding repairs, we can simply replace the damaged section, giving you a seamless look and feel while removing the unsightly blemishes. If your siding is of the “vintage” variety, it is possible that the color may have been discontinued. In some cases, siding may have faded over time and may be difficult to match. There are several ways in which we can work around these challenges, but only an inspection will tell the whole story. Call for a free inspection of your exteriors today and get one step closer to having that brand-new home look once again.
We have crews trained in installation of most types of siding including:
- Fiber-cement
- Aluminum
- Vinyl
- Stucco
- Cedar shakes
- Wood clapboard

SAVE ENERGY
You can greatly improve the energy efficiency of your home with quality siding.

All of this assures that your home is tight, retaining the interior temperature regardless of the exterior temperature. Some siding can be installed with insulation, increasing your home’s energy efficiency, while other types of siding have their own limited amount of insulation included.

Siding Options We Install
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding is the most popular choice for Rockford, IL homeowners — durable, low-maintenance, and available in dozens of colors and profiles. Unlike wood, vinyl never needs painting and won’t rot, warp, or crack under the freeze-thaw cycles common in Northern Illinois. Martin Exteriors installs vinyl siding backed by manufacturer warranties and our own workmanship guarantee.
James Hardie® Fiber Cement Siding
James Hardie fiber cement siding is the premium choice for Midwest homes. It’s noncombustible, Class A fire rated, pest-resistant, and engineered for temperature extremes, humidity, and hail. Martin Exteriors is a certified James Hardie installer — trained and approved to install their products to factory standards. Ask about ColorPlus® Technology with its 15-year finish warranty.
Engineered Wood Siding
Engineered wood siding delivers the warm, natural look of real wood with significantly better performance. Products like LP SmartSide resist impact, moisture, and fungal decay — making them well-suited to Illinois winters. If you love the look of wood but want a product that holds up to Midwest weather without constant maintenance, engineered wood is worth a serious look.
Steel & Metal Siding
Metal siding is an excellent choice for Northern Illinois homes prone to high winds and hail. Steel siding is virtually impervious to pests and moisture, won’t crack or warp, and delivers excellent long-term value. It’s especially strong for commercial properties.

Siding FAQ
What type of siding is best for homes in Northern Illinois?
For the Rockford IL climate with its cold winters, hot summers, and severe storms, vinyl siding and fiber cement (James Hardie) siding are the most popular and durable choices. Vinyl is affordable, low-maintenance, and comes in many styles. Fiber cement offers superior durability, fire resistance, and a more premium look. Martin Exteriors installs both and can help you choose the best option for your home and budget.
How much does new siding cost in Rockford IL?
Siding costs in the Rockford area depend on your home’s size, the material chosen, and the complexity of the installation. Vinyl siding typically ranges from $5,000-$15,000 for an average home, while fiber cement siding costs $10,000-$25,000+. We provide free, detailed estimates with no obligation. Financing options are available to make your siding project more manageable.
How do I know if my siding needs to be replaced?
Signs your siding needs replacement include warping, buckling, or bulging panels; cracks or holes; fading or peeling paint (on wood siding); mold, mildew, or rot; rising energy bills (poor insulation); and moisture or water damage inside your walls. If you notice any of these issues, schedule a free inspection with Martin Exteriors.
Does new siding improve energy efficiency?
Yes, significantly. Modern insulated siding can reduce energy loss through your walls by up to 20%, lowering heating and cooling costs year-round. This is especially important in Northern Illinois where we experience temperature extremes. New siding also eliminates gaps and cracks that let in drafts, moisture, and pests. Many homeowners in the Rockford area see noticeable savings on their energy bills after siding replacement.
Can storm damage to siding be covered by insurance?
Yes, siding damaged by wind, hail, or fallen debris is typically covered by homeowner’s insurance. Martin Exteriors has extensive experience with insurance claims for siding damage. We’ll document the damage, work with your adjuster, and ensure you receive fair compensation. After any severe storm in the Rockford area, we recommend getting a free inspection to check for damage you might not see.
