Cottage with new olive siding and stone

Exterior siding

It is what we do most, and what we do best. We replace old siding and clad new homes, from bungalows to cottages.

The five sidings we install

Each material has its strengths. During the visit, we show you samples and tell you honestly what suits your house.

Vinyl

Vinyl is still the most affordable siding. It never needs paint, does not rot and cleans with a hose. It comes as horizontal lap, vertical boards and decorative shakes for gables.

  • Many colours available
  • Never needs repainting
  • Best for a tight budget

Common questions

How much does new siding cost?

It mostly depends on the wall area, the material and the condition of the wall underneath. Vinyl is the most affordable; fibre cement and pine cost more. The visit and the quote are free.

How long does the work take?

For a typical house, from a few days to two weeks depending on size and material. The timeline is written in the quote.

Does the old siding have to come off?

Almost always. It lets us see the wall, repair what needs it and put up a new air barrier. We will tell you if it is not needed.

Do you work in winter?

Yes, most sidings can be installed all year. Some products have minimum installation temperatures: we plan around them.
