Exterior Makeover

Siding, windows, roofing, and entry refreshes that update curb appeal without changing footprint.

Starting at $35,000Typical timeline 6–14 weeks

Our approach

Exterior updates that change curb appeal without touching the footprint. New siding, windows, roofing, and entry doors with an emphasis on matching the original architectural style, not fighting it.

Chicago's housing stock ranges from 1890 brick bungalows to 2010 builder-grade vinyl. The right exterior depends on the era. We catalog the original trim profiles, brick mortar color, and window divided-light patterns before specifying replacements. Hardie or LP SmartSide for new siding, true-divided-light windows from Marvin or Pella when the original style calls for it.

What's included

  • Architectural audit

    Photograph and measure every profile before demolition so replacements match.

  • Weather barrier

    Full house wrap or self-adhered WRB behind all new siding — not just felt paper.

  • Window installation

    Replacements flashed to manufacturer spec and tied into the WRB, not caulked and hoped.

  • Roof system

    Ice and water shield on all valleys and the first six feet of every eave (Chicago minimum).
