What we see on Belleville homes
The median house in Belleville was built in 1960, and 63.1% of the housing stock there predates 1970. 20,187 housing units, 61% of the occupied ones owner-occupied. That leaves a real share of rented property, and a landlord asks different questions than an owner: what fails soonest, what a tenant will call about. The quote is the same either way. 26.3% of it predates 1940, so a lot of these openings are out of square and none of them are a catalog size. That is the whole reason we measure every opening instead of ordering to a chart.
The exterior on a house that age is often not the first one. Aluminum siding from the sixties, vinyl over the top of it in the nineties, and somewhere underneath the wood the house was built with. We look behind the old material before quoting, so the layer count and the state of the sheathing are known rather than guessed at. In these houses the original single-glazed windows are usually the biggest single draft in the place. On siding specifically the layer count decides the day: one layer comes off cleanly, two means the sheathing has not seen daylight in thirty years.

Permits and paperwork in Belleville
Permits for work like this in Belleville come from City of Belleville Health, Housing and Building Department. Some jobs need one and some do not. We work out which yours is at the consultation, not after the tear-off has started, and we pull it ourselves.
In the local historic districts, Old Belleville, Hexenbuckel and Oakland, exterior siding work generally needs a Design Review Request through the Belleville Historic Preservation Commission before the project starts. National Register listing on its own is honorific in Illinois and does not require approval for a private homeowner to replace siding.
We are licensed and insured. Our Illinois Roofing Contractor License is #104016978, and it goes on the paperwork before you ask for it.

What we can put on a Belleville house
All of it is Alside: Coventry and Odyssey Plus vinyl, Board N Batten for a vertical look, and Ascend Composite for the look of real wood. Profile and color are the two big decisions, and each line has its own range of both. Soffit, fascia and trim are part of the same job rather than an extra line.
There is a showroom at 2424 Hwy 94 S. Outer Rd., St. Charles, MO 63303. Most people change their mind about a color at least once standing in front of the full-size panel, which is a much cheaper place to do it.
