Full house siding replacement

Starts at $15,000

Replacing all siding at once gives your home a refreshed exterior and improved insulation. When panels show widespread aging or no longer protect the structure underneath, a full update creates a clean, reliable weather barrier. It’s especially helpful in colder regions where drafts and heat loss can add up over time.

The process is organized and steady, giving you a clear understanding of each step. Materials are selected for long-term performance, and installation focuses on clean lines and proper sealing. The finished exterior feels cohesive, sturdy, and built to handle seasonal changes comfortably.

Partial siding replacement

Starts at $3,000

Partial replacement targets the areas that need attention while leaving the rest of your siding intact. If one wall faces wind, sun, or moisture more than others, updating only that section brings the exterior back into balance. It’s a cost-effective way to restore protection without unnecessary work.

Matching is handled carefully so the new portion blends with the existing surface. Texture, grain, and color are checked closely before installation. Once finished, the updated section integrates smoothly with the rest of the siding, creating a consistent, natural look.

Repair of damaged areas

Starts at $1,000

A repair is the simplest way to fix cracks, dents, chips, or loose boards before they lead to bigger issues. Quick attention prevents moisture infiltration and helps maintain energy efficiency, especially during colder months. It’s a straightforward service that reinforces your home’s protective barrier.

The repair is completed with efficiency and accuracy. Damaged spots are secured or replaced, and seals are tightened to ensure the area stays weather ready. The final result blends neatly with surrounding panels, restoring function without requiring a larger project.

Siding contractors in Barrie - working with siding planks, panels, shingles

Lap Siding

Siding planks are still a trendy siding option for homeowners these days. Surprisingly, we have installed planks in almost 80% of all the homes we renovated last year. Plank siding allows you to get creative with the design, as you can install them both vertically and horizontally.

This siding type is available in a large number of colours and finishes. So, don’t worry if you want any unique tones for your house. It is also ideal for creating a cozy, classy, and inviting look.

Furthermore, you also have the option to choose between different materials such as vinyl, cedar, metal, and fiber cement. There is no limitation when it comes to siding planks, as you can get them installed on every type of house.

Shingles and Shakes

Shingles and shakes are not only popular for roofs but highly recommended to install along the walls of your home sweet home. They are used to create your traditional and rustic look. If you are planning to invest in shakes or shingle roofs, you can complement your roof with charismatic and classy sliding.

Shingles and shakes are the best way to highlight a specific part of your house, providing contrast and quality. They add unique warmth to your house and look refined as well.

Similar to the shingle and shake roofs, sliding is also available in an excellent range of colours and sizes. We advise you to opt for the materials like James Hardie® (fiber-cement), vinyl, and cedar for your house due to their promising quality and durability. If you choose cedar shingles, keep in mind that you can stain or paint them – whatever looks best with your home.

Siding panels are appropriate options if you want to create a luxury yet minimalist look. This type of siding can make any house look modern and extraordinary, boosting the value of the property. The best part is that they are available in an impressive range of colours and textures. There are also options that mimic the texture and look of natural wood, giving your home a natural and cozy feel.

Panels are also available in different shapes that allow you to create personalized designs for your house. You can opt for square-cut or rectangular cut panels of any size. Just like plank siding, you can install panels in any orientation.

Usually, we cut them on-site to create customized designs and profiles. This way, there’s no risk of getting your chosen design wrong. Some of the popular types of panels are Open Join Cladding, Easy Trim Reveal, and Board and Batten. They not only look classy but also have a longer lifespan.

We Make It So Easy

Get an amazing home transformation in 5 steps

1 step

Old Siding Removal

Most siding projects start with the removal of old siding. Our experts carefully do it to avoid damaging sheathing underneath the siding. Note that the removal of the old siding is vital 90% of the time, sometimes we can install siding on top of your old siding. If you are confused or want to ask any questions, you can consult the project manager.
2 step

Sheathing Damage Inspection

Once we remove the old siding, we will look for mould and rotten areas on your sheathing. In case your house needs any repair, you’ll have to pay an additional cost. But from our experience, properties don’t require expensive repairs in most cases
3 step

Preparation of the Wall for Siding

During this step, our siding crew will install building paper on top of the sheathing, flashings around openings, and other elements required by the Ontario building code. Optionally we can install a rainscreen that prolongs the life of your siding for 5-10 years and protects your home from any rain damage allowing the airflow.
4 step

Siding Installation and Touch-ups

Once your house structure is ready, we start installing sliding. This process can take 7 to 14 days based on your chosen materials and house’s size. During this stage, we also install things like light fixtures, dryer vents, flashings, bug screens, trim boards, fascia, corners and soffits. If you want, we can also do a paint job.
5 step

Waste Removal and Clean Up

From the very start till the end of the siding project, we keep your yard and surrounding areas neat and clean of any construction debris. Once the installation is completed, we clean your entire area and make the required touch-ups. The project manager will conduct a thorough inspection to ensure that the work meets our highest standards.

FAQ

Our team is always available to assist and provide further details tailored to your specific needs.

How does Barrie’s climate affect siding performance?

Barrie experiences cold winters, lake-effect snow, humid summers, and frequent freeze–thaw cycles. Siding must resist moisture, ice expansion, UV exposure, and wind. We help you choose materials designed for Ontario’s four-season conditions.

Are you licensed and insured to work in Ontario?

Yes. We carry all required provincial licensing, liability insurance, and WSIB coverage. This protects both your home and our team throughout the project.

How long does a siding project take?

Most installations take 2 to 4 weeks, depending on weather conditions, home size, and material availability. Winter storms or heavy rain can cause short delays, but we schedule carefully and keep you updated.

What siding materials work best for Barrie homeowners?

We install James Hardie® fibre cement, vinyl, engineered wood, cedar, and composite materials. Each option offers different benefits for Ontario’s climate, and we help you compare performance, durability, and maintenance expectations.

Do you remove old siding before installing the new system?

In most cases, yes. Removing existing siding allows us to inspect the sheathing for rot, mould, outdated insulation, or moisture damage – common in older Ontario homes. Proper removal ensures a long-lasting installation.

What kind of maintenance will siding need?

Maintenance varies by material. Once you choose your siding, we’ll provide a simple care routine tailored to Ontario’s seasons – including preventing mould, managing moisture, and protecting against UV exposure.

What happens if something doesn’t look right after installation?

Just contact us. If the issue is covered under your warranty, we’ll inspect it promptly and make any necessary adjustments. We’re committed to long-term customer satisfaction.

Do you offer help choosing colours and styles?

Yes. Barrie’s neighbourhoods range from classic, established homes to sleek, modern builds, and we tailor our recommendations to suit your style. We’ll walk you through colour options, siding profiles, and trim accents that elevate your home and fit beautifully within the local setting. We also provide complimentary visual renderings so you can preview your home’s new look before the project even begins.

Can I see examples of siding projects you’ve completed in Barrie?

Yes. We maintain a gallery of before-and-after photos from homes across Barrie, including Allandale, Holly, East Bayfield, Ardagh Bluffs, and surrounding Simcoe County. These examples help you visualize colours, materials, and styles.
