What Is Fiber Cement Siding?

The Gold Standard in Durable Exterior Cladding for Illinois Homes

Fiber cement siding installation is the process of fitting engineered panels — composed of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers — directly onto a home's exterior sheathing. In the Chicago metro and DuPage County, where winters are brutal and hailstorms are routine, fiber cement is the top-performing cladding material for homeowners who want long-lasting curb appeal without constant maintenance.

Alta Property Services has installed fiber cement siding on hundreds of homes across Cook, DuPage, Will, and Lake Counties. Our certified crews handle everything from initial moisture-barrier prep to final paint sealing — delivering a watertight, insect-resistant, fire-rated exterior that holds its value and protects your home for decades.

I can't say enough good things about Alta Property Services. My basement flooded due to a burst hot water heater connection--right in the middle of trying to sell my home. It was a stressful situation, but Alta came through in the clutch. My realtor contacted them, and they responded quickly and professionally. They handled everything with the insurance company, which was a huge relief, and got right to work on the cleanup and restoration. Not only did they mitigate the water damage, but they also installed beautiful new flooring--all in time for us to keep our scheduled open house. Thanks to Alta, the space looked better than ever, and we were able to stay on track with the sale. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with unexpected property damage. Fast, reliable, and truly went above and beyond.

We had a leak in our kitchen break room. I called Alta and they had some techs on site within an hour or so. They were able to clean up the water, had mold testing done, got us a quote to replace drywall, rebuild cabinets, and put everything back together as if it never happened. We are very appreciative for the help Alta provided. All of this at a very reasonable cost as well. They are now our "go to" company for emergency services. Thank you Alex and Ron.

Alta Property Services has helped my clients on projects large and small. And their work and customer service are exceptional! The owner Ron has always been quick to communicate (not always the case with contractors) and the folks he has working for him really know their stuff! Peter is one of the project managers and is not only organized but also helps come up with creative solutions when needed. Highly recommend!

Our tech, Chris went above and beyond in coming to our house and completing the job. This all happened in sub zero temps in Chicago. After a long day, Chris called and provided an update on where he was and timing of when he would be able to be at the house. He was willing to come after hours (arrived at 7:30PM) and did a great job fixing 2 toilets and ensuring the job was complete before he left - and all with a smile. He was polite, professional and super helpful with explaining what he was doing. Great example of what great service looks like.

I’m extremely happy with the service we received. We have a home warranty and Alta was dispatched to correct a plumbing issue with our toilet, it was taking forever to fill after flushing. I’ve had this problem for about 2 years now, my warranty company has sent out multiple plumbers (2-3) who’ve attempted to fix the issue but were unable and just provided me with different excuses as to why it’s not fixed, like that I have low pressure etc, when the toilet wasn’t like that when we bought the house…I’ve been under the impression we had a leak this whole time, our water bill has been outrageous so I finally called the warranty company again on the same issue and was so relieved to find out Alta was easily able to correct the problem. I guess the 3rd/4th turn is a charm. Finally a plumber who knows what they’re doing, thank you Alta! I’m hoping our water bills will be more affordable now as a result 🙏🙏

FAQ

Common Questions About Fiber Cement Siding

Answers to the questions DuPage County and Chicago-area homeowners ask most often before starting a siding project.

For a typical 2,000–2,500 sq ft Chicago-area home, a full fiber cement siding installation takes 5–8 business days. Factors that affect timeline include the size of the home, the condition of the underlying sheathing (damaged boards need replacement), and weather. Alta provides a detailed project schedule before work begins so you know exactly what to expect.

Yes, in most cases. Illinois homeowner's insurance policies typically cover hail and wind damage to siding. Fiber cement can crack or dent from large hailstones. Alta's team documents all damage in insurer-accepted format, helps you file the claim, and can bill your carrier directly — minimizing your out-of-pocket cost. We recommend calling us before contacting your insurer so we can assist with the damage assessment.

Fiber cement siding installation in the Chicago metro typically ranges from $8–$14 per square foot installed, depending on the profile selected (lap vs. shingle vs. panel), the complexity of the home's architecture, and substrate preparation required. Alta provides a free, itemized estimate with no hidden fees so you can budget accurately. Call (630) 461-9229 or fill out our online form to schedule your no-obligation assessment.

Fiber cement significantly outperforms vinyl in harsh Illinois winters. Vinyl becomes brittle in sub-zero temperatures and can crack or shatter on impact. Fiber cement maintains its structural integrity across extreme temperature swings, resists moisture penetration, and does not warp or buckle. It also has a Class 1 fire rating — a benefit vinyl cannot match. For Chicago-area homeowners dealing with freeze-thaw cycles, fiber cement is the stronger long-term investment.

Yes. Alta has extensive experience working with HOA-governed communities throughout DuPage County and the surrounding suburbs. We help homeowners prepare material and color documentation for HOA approval submissions, ensure selected James Hardie products meet community aesthetic guidelines, and pull all required permits before work begins. Our familiarity with local associations makes the approval process smooth and efficient.

Properly installed James Hardie fiber cement siding carries a 30-year limited warranty and realistically lasts 40–50 years. Maintenance is minimal: inspect caulking and paint every 8–10 years, repaint as needed (typically every 10–15 years using a 100% acrylic exterior paint), and keep soil and mulch at least 6 inches below the bottom course. There's no need for sealing, staining, or treating for insects — a significant advantage over wood siding in Illinois's humid summers.
