Exterior Materials From Two Merged Towns
Aurora's older housing carries the exterior-material legacy of its dual origin as East Aurora, incorporated in 1845, and West Aurora, organized in 1854, before their 1857 merger -- brick and wood-clad construction near the historic river-mill core sits alongside the aluminum and vinyl siding typical of later 20th-century subdivisions.
Matching Material to a Century-Plus of Construction
A siding project near Aurora's historic core often has to work around masonry or original wood cladding that later subdivisions on the city's DuPage County edges never had to consider, while the wind exposure from storms like the July 2024 severe weather line that brought a 75 mph gust to nearby O'Hare affects both material types.

Planning a Siding Project in Aurora
Every project on this site starts the same way: document the condition, confirm which construction era and site condition actually apply, and compare complete written scopes before choosing a provider serving Aurora and the wider Naperville area.
