Commercial Siding
Exterior cladding for buildings that have to stay open
Apartment buildings, offices, retail frontage and light industrial property across the Chicago suburbs. We phase the work around your tenants, price the substrate repairs up front, and clear the site every day.

What We Install
Most commercial siding jobs are really two jobs: the cladding you can see, and whatever the last one covered up. We price both.
Multi-Family Re-Cladding
Full exterior replacement for apartment buildings, townhome associations and condominiums, phased by building or elevation so the property stays occupied throughout.
- Phased by building or elevation
- Insulated and standard vinyl, or fiber cement
- Trim, soffit, fascia and wrap
- Board and association documentation
Office and Retail Exteriors
Cladding, trim and accent work on commercial frontage, including the tear off and the substrate repairs that usually turn up once the old material is off.
- Substrate inspected before re-clad
- Rot and sheathing repair priced openly
- House wrap and flashing detail
- Colour matched to existing elevations
Storm and Insurance Work
Hail and wind damage repair on commercial property, including the documentation your carrier asks for and a scope written so the adjuster can follow it.
- Damage documented elevation by elevation
- Scope written to match the carrier estimate
- Supplements handled where work is missed
- Emergency make-safe when needed
How a Commercial Job Runs
Walk the Elevations
We walk every elevation, measure the square footage and note what is behind the cladding wherever we can see it, before a number goes on paper.
Written Bid, Repairs Named
The bid separates the cladding from the substrate repair, with a unit price for rot and sheathing, so a surprise behind the wall is a known rate rather than a renegotiation.
Phase Around Tenants
We agree the phasing with you: which buildings, which elevations, in what order, and what notice your tenants get. Parking and access get sorted before day one.
Clean Site, Final Walk
The site is cleared daily, not at the end. When the phase is done we walk it with you and close the punch list before invoicing.
Questions We Get From Property Owners
What happens when you find rot behind the old siding?
You see it before we cover it, and it is billed at the unit rate that was already in your bid. We photograph what we find. Nobody should be asked to approve a repair they cannot see.
Can you phase a large property across seasons or budgets?
Yes. Associations and owners often do one building or one elevation at a time. We will hold pricing on the agreed phases and sequence them so the property never looks half finished from the street.
Do you handle the association or board approval?
We provide what the board needs: the scope, the product data, colour samples and the insurance certificates. We have sat in the meeting to answer questions when that helps it move.
Do you work with insurance carriers?
Yes, on storm and wind claims. We document the damage elevation by elevation and write the scope so it lines up with the carrier estimate. Where real damage was missed we file a supplement rather than absorb it or cut the scope.
Are you licensed and insured for commercial work?
Yes. We carry general liability and workers compensation, and we provide certificates naming your entity as additional insured before work starts. Send us your required limits with the bid request.
Send us the property
Tell us the building type and roughly how many square feet of elevation you are looking at. We will walk it and come back with a written bid that separates cladding from repair.
