Siding Installation & Replacement

The Biggest Visual Change You Can Make To A House

Siding is the rare renovation that is both cosmetic and structural. It is the single largest surface a visitor sees, so replacing it changes the character of the house completely. It is also the barrier keeping water off your sheathing, and once that barrier fails the damage happens quietly inside the wall where nobody looks.

Most of the failures we open up are not the siding itself. They are the details around it — housewrap lapped the wrong way, no flashing over a window head, caulk used where a piece of metal belonged. Those shortcuts are invisible on day one and expensive in year six.

We install the wall as a system: proper housewrap, head flashing at every opening, correct fastening so panels can expand and contract, and trim that sheds water instead of holding it.

Where Siding Jobs Go Wrong

• Housewrap and flashing — done in the right order and lapped the right way. This is the part nobody sees and the part that decides whether the wall lasts.
• Correct fastening — siding must be allowed to move. Nailed tight, it buckles in the first hot summer.
• Colour in daylight, on your house — we bring samples to the property rather than asking you to choose from a chip in a showroom.
• Photos of what we find — if there is rot behind the old siding, you will see it before we cover it up.
