  • Partial siding replacement

    Starts at $3,000

    Some areas of a home naturally age faster than others. We remove affected sections, prepare the surface, and match new materials to your existing siding for a consistent finish. This approach maintains curb appeal, reinforces protection, and extends the life of your exterior without the commitment of a full replacement.

    We study the existing panels closely so texture, grain, and tone are matched as accurately as possible. Once installed, the updated sections blend neatly with surrounding areas, creating a uniform appearance that doesn’t call attention to the repair. From assessment to final inspection, the workflow stays organized and transparent. We select matching materials carefully, install them with clean alignment, and check each transition for a seamless fit.

  • Repair of damaged areas

    Starts at $1,000

    Repairing damaged siding keeps your home protected and prevents small problems from turning into larger ones. We remove or secure affected pieces, reinforce the surrounding area, and restore a tight, weather-resistant seal. These targeted repairs maintain a clean look and help your siding continue performing as intended.

    Repairs are completed with steady, precise steps. Loose pieces are secured, broken sections are replaced, and sealing is reinforced where needed. The final result is clean and subtle, restoring protection without altering your home’s appearance.

Lap Siding

The most popular in Canada is plank siding due to its low cost and ease of maintenance. It can be installed horizontally or vertically depending on your design plan. This option puts a frame around the outside of your house, defining the edges and lines and making your house pop.

Shingles and Shakes

Shingles are the ideal choice if you are looking for a natural, rustic look. Their distinctive shadow lines add contrast and depth to a home’s exterior, creating a sense of coziness and warmth.

While siding shingles were traditionally made from cedar, they are now available in a wider choice of materials. Advances in technology have resulted in fiber cement shingles that mimic wood, but are less expensive and require less maintenance.

We Make It So Easy

Get an amazing home transformation in 5 steps

  1. 1 step
    Old Siding Removal

    Our team begins by removing your home’s existing siding, a process which takes on average between 2 and 7 days, depending on the size of the project and the type of your siding. Some types of older siding such as vinyl or cedar can be removed quickly, while stucco and stone can take longer.

  2. 2 step
    Sheathing Damage Inspection

    Next, your existing sheathing is inspected for rot, mould or other damage. You’ll be happy to know that most homes do not require sheathing repair. However, if repairs are needed, there might be a small additional cost associated with the repairs. Of course, before we proceed, we will provide an estimate once the scope of the work is determined.

  3. 3 step
    Preparation of the Wall for Siding

    After your home’s sheathing has been inspected and any necessary repairs have been made, we start preparing walls for new siding. At this step we install building paper, flashings and strapping (optionally). This process is designed to protect your house from water damage, which is especially important in Hamilton’s rainy climate.

  4. 4 step
    Siding Installation and Touch-ups

    The next step is installing a siding itself, as well as trim boards around windows, doors, soffits, overcap corners and fascia boards. We also put in insect screens, flashings, dryer vents and light fixture boxes, and apply touch-up paint to the nails, matching the colour of the siding to create a seamless, professional look.

  5. 5 step
    Waste Removal and Clean Up

    The final step is cleaning up your property, and removing and recycling all construction debris in accordance with the best practices in the siding industry. All construction waste will be removed and placed in the recycling bin.

FAQ

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

How does new siding affect my home’s resale value in Hamilton’s market?

Updated siding can significantly boost curb appeal and perceived quality, especially in competitive areas. Homes with new siding often sell faster and may command a higher price because buyers value low-maintenance, energy-efficient exteriors.

Can you install siding on homes with mixed exteriors like brick-and-siding combinations?

Absolutely. Many Hamilton homes – especially in older neighbourhoods – feature a blend of brick and siding. We can update only the siding areas, match trim, or modernize the entire exterior so the materials look cohesive and intentional.

Do you need to inspect my home before giving a siding quote?

Hamilton has everything from historic homes in Kirkendall and Durand to post-war bungalows and brand-new builds on the Mountain. An in-person assessment lets us check for insulation gaps, moisture issues, outdated sheathing, and previous storm damage – while taking accurate measurements for a precise estimate.

Are you licensed and insured to work in Ontario?

Yes. We carry all provincial licensing, liability insurance, and WSIB coverage. This ensures full protection for both your home and our team throughout the project.

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

Yes. We offer a gallery of before-and-after photos from homes across Hamilton, including Westdale, Stoney Creek, Ancaster, Waterdown, and the Mountain. These examples help you visualize material styles and colour combinations.

Do I need to be home during installation?

As long as we have exterior access, we can complete the work while you’re at work or away. If we uncover unexpected issues, we’ll contact you before proceeding.

Do you offer support with colour selection and design?

Yes. Hamilton’s neighbourhoods feature a wide mix of architectural styles, and we help you choose siding profiles, colours, and trim accents that suit your home. We can also provide visual renderings so you can preview the finished look.

What if something doesn’t look right after installation is complete?

Just contact us. If the issue is covered under your warranty, we’ll inspect it promptly and make any necessary adjustments. We stand behind our work long-term.

Can siding be installed year-round in Hamilton?

Often yes. Installation continues most of the year, though extreme cold or heavy storms may require brief pauses. We plan our schedule around safe and effective weather conditions.
