How siding replacement costs vary in Illinois
State-specific code or insurance rule: Chicago Building Code §13-152 requires masonry construction (brick veneer, concrete masonry unit, stone) on every exterior wall up to four stories within City of Chicago limits — eliminating vinyl, fiber-cement, and cedar lap as legal exterior cladding in the City proper, and forcing brick-veneer dominance on Chicago single-family and two-flat housing stock that has no parallel in any other major U.S. city.
