Siding & Seamless Gutters in South Elgin & the Fox Valley
Siding, soffit, fascia and gutters that move water away from the house.
Siding and gutters in South Elgin and Batavia are one system, not two separate trades. The siding sheds water down the wall, the gutter catches what comes off the roof, and the downspout has to put it somewhere other than against the foundation. When one part of that fails, you usually find out at the other end: a wet basement, soft fascia, paint peeling off a soffit.
On a siding replacement we take the old material off and look at the sheathing and the house wrap underneath. Soft spots around windows and along the bottom of the wall tell you exactly where water has been getting in. Then wrap, flashing at the openings, and new siding. Vinyl gets hung loose so it can move with temperature; fiber cement gets fastened and flashed to suit the profile we are installing.
Gutters we run seamless on site, so the only joints are at the corners and the outlets. Size and outlet count matter more than people expect on a steep Illinois roof in a heavy rain. Hangers screwed into solid fascia, never nailed into rotted wood. Downspouts extended well away from the foundation, or tied into a buried discharge line where the grade actually cooperates.

Why we treat the exterior as one assembly
Water managed end to end
Roof edge, gutter, downspout, grade. We follow the water all the way out and away from the house instead of patching the one spot where it showed up inside.
We look behind the siding
Old siding comes off and the sheathing gets inspected before anything new goes on. Rot around window openings is common, and it is cheap to fix while the wall is open.
Seamless, formed on site
Gutters get run to the length of your fascia with no mid-run seams. Fewer joints means fewer places to leak once the leaves and the ice arrive in the fall.
Fascia that holds a gutter
A gutter is only as good as the wood behind it. We replace soft fascia before hanging anything, so every hanger lands in solid material that will hold a screw.

Questions
Siding & Gutters questions
Ask us anything that is not covered here — call, text or send the form.
Vinyl or fiber cement siding?
Vinyl costs less, installs faster and never needs painting, but it dents and the color choices shift over time. Fiber cement holds a crisp profile, takes paint and handles impact better, at a higher material and labor cost. Both work here. The honest answer depends on your budget and how long you plan to stay.
Can gutters be added without replacing the fascia?
If the fascia is solid, yes. We probe the board at the hanger locations first. Wherever we find soft or rotted wood, that section gets replaced before the gutter goes up. Hanging a new gutter on bad fascia pulls loose the first time the run fills with ice.
Where should downspouts discharge?
Away from the house, and further out than most installations manage. A splash block at the foundation puts the water right back where you do not want it. Extensions carried past the backfill, or a buried line discharging downhill, is what keeps water out of a basement.
