Siding, Seasons and the Aurora Climate
Price is not the only test. In Aurora - about 87°F in summer, 19°F on winter nights - these weather factors shape the right choice:
Climate regions run from 1 (cool) to 5 (hot); Illinois sits in region 2.
Cold-weather impacts. Cold makes vinyl stiff and easier to crack when something hits it. Thicker panels survive a winter of shovels, balls and ladders better; fiber cement ignores the cold, but its cut ends must be sealed.
Gusty weather. Wind is hard on loose trim and corners. Fiber cement and heavier vinyl lines stay put better, and careful crews add fasteners on exposed gable walls.
Hail. Hail can crack vinyl, especially on a cool day when the plastic is stiff. Fiber cement resists hail far better, which can matter for insurance claims.
Mild days between seasons suit siding best: vinyl cuts cleanly, paint and caulk cure properly, and rain is less likely to stall the job. Aurora sits toward the northern end of the Illinois cities we cover, so the outdoor siding season tends to start later and end sooner - book early for spring. The nearest city in this guide is Naperville, about 7 miles to the east. Its siding prices sit on a separate page if you collect bids from both.

Common Questions About New Siding in Aurora
Is tear-off worth paying for?
It depends on what is under it. Sound, flat walls can take a new layer; soft spots, stains or bulges mean the old siding should come off, at about $2,160 to $4,310 here.
Vinyl or HARDIE siding - which is the better value?
Fiber cement ($21,630 to $31,240) wins for a long stay: it lasts longer and holds paint well. Vinyl ($12,460 to $18,000) costs less now and never needs painting.
What is a square of siding, and what does it cost here?
Plan on $739.00 per square for vinyl and $1,325.58 for fiber cement, labor included. Wraps, height and tear-off are priced on top of that.
