Metal Siding Installation in Buffalo Grove, IL
Steel and aluminum siding engineered for the long haul, giving your home a sleek, contemporary edge that shrugs off harsh weather.
What Sets Metal Siding Apart
Whether you choose steel or aluminum, metal siding brings a durability few other materials can match. It won't burn, rot, or attract insects, shrugs off impact better than most alternatives, and — installed correctly — can go decades with barely any upkeep. We've seen a growing number of Buffalo Grove, IL homeowners choose metal siding, drawn both to its performance and to the crisp, contemporary look it brings to a home's exterior.
Getting a metal siding installation right calls for a few adjustments that other materials don't require. Because metal expands and contracts with temperature more than most siding options, panels need fastening that leaves room for that seasonal movement. We follow the fastening patterns and clearances specified for each product so panels stay aligned and don't buckle or work loose as temperatures shift throughout the year.
Flashing and sealing at every joint, corner, and penetration matters more with metal siding than with most materials, since a poorly sealed seam invites water in and can eventually lead to corrosion — especially on steel. We're equally careful with cut and finished edges, since exposed raw steel is where rust tends to start if it isn't treated or capped properly during the install.
Metal siding today comes in a wide variety of profiles and finishes, from styles that echo traditional lap siding to sleeker, more modern panel designs, and factory finishes now hold their color for years with little fading. It also pairs nicely with other materials — many homeowners use it as an accent alongside fiber cement or wood elsewhere on the home. Harbor Ridge Exteriors has installed metal siding across Buffalo Grove, IL for 15 years, and we know exactly what it takes to fasten and seal it so it keeps performing for the long haul.

Quality steel siding is coated and finished to resist rust for many years, but any cut edges or scratches that expose bare metal should be treated or touched up promptly so corrosion doesn't get a foothold.
When it's installed properly with solid backing rather than an open cavity behind it, metal siding is no noisier in the rain than most other siding materials.
It generally costs more upfront than vinyl and lands around the same range as fiber cement or slightly above it, though its durability and minimal upkeep often make up the difference over time.
