Explore Siding Types & Styles for Your Bolingbrook Home
Are you planning to refresh your home's exterior but feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of options? Vinyl, fiber cement, cedar, steel—each material has its own set of benefits, price points, and aesthetic vibes. At Saltsider Construction, we believe your siding should do two things: make your home the best-looking one on the block and protect it from Illinois winters for decades to come.
We are Bolingbrook and Naperville’s local guides to exterior renovation. Unlike high-pressure sales companies that push one specific product, we offer a full spectrum of siding types. Whether you are looking for the affordability of vinyl or the industrial strength of steel, we help you compare your options honestly so you can make the best choice for your budget and your home.

Siding Types We Install
At Saltsider Construction, we have expertise in every major siding category. Here is a breakdown to help you start your search:
Vinyl Siding
The All-Rounder: The most popular choice in Bolingbrook for a reason. Modern vinyl is resilient, fade-resistant, and available in hundreds of colors and profiles (like Dutch Lap or Board & Batten).
Best For: Homeowners wanting a maintenance-free exterior at an affordable price point.
Fiber Cement Siding
The Heavyweight: Made from a blend of wood pulp and cement, this siding mimics the look of natural wood but is fire-resistant, rot-proof, and impervious to pests.
Best For: Those who want a high-end, wood-grain look with superior longevity and resale value.
Cedar & Wood Siding
The Classic: Nothing beats the natural beauty and smell of real cedar. It offers a rustic, timeless charm that synthetic materials strive to copy.
Best For: Historic homes or homeowners who prize natural materials and don't mind the required maintenance (staining/painting) to keep it looking fresh.
Steel Siding
The Fortress: Steel siding is incredibly strong, fire-resistant, and recyclable. It provides a sleek, modern look and holds up exceptionally well against hail and wind.
Best For: Homeowners looking for maximum durability and a modern aesthetic.
Aluminum Siding
The Retro-Modern: Lightweight and rust-proof, aluminum is making a comeback in modern designs. It is excellent for waterproofing and is easy to paint if you want to change colors later.
Best For: Coastal vibes or specific architectural styles requiring metal finishes.
How to Choose the Right Siding
Stuck between two options? Consider these factors:
Budget: Vinyl is generally the most cost-effective; Steel and Cedar are premium investments.
Maintenance: Vinyl requires a simple wash; Wood requires regular staining; Fiber Cement may need repainting after 15-20 years.
Durability: Steel and Fiber Cement offer the best impact resistance against hail.
Style: Cedar shake offers a specific rustic look; Vertical Steel offers a contemporary industrial vibe.
Premium Materials & Partners
We believe your home deserves the best. That’s why we partner with the industry’s most respected manufacturers.
Signs It’s Time to Switch Siding Types
Sometimes, you need an upgrade, not just a replacement.
High Energy Bills: Switch to Insulated Vinyl or a heavy Fiber Cement to improve thermal mass.
Woodpecker Damage: Birds love real wood; they can't peck through Steel or Fiber Cement.
Fading Color: Modern high-grade Vinyl or factory-finished Fiber Cement holds color far longer than older aluminum or wood.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is steel siding loud in the rain?
Surprisingly, no. When installed over solid sheathing and insulation, it is no louder than vinyl or wood.
Does vinyl siding melt?
It can if subjected to extreme reflected heat (like from a neighbor's Low-E window), but high-quality modern vinyl has high heat resistance. We can assess your home's risk factors during our consultation.
Which siding increases home value the most?
Generally, Fiber Cement and Stone Veneer yield the highest ROI at resale due to their perceived longevity and premium look.
