We Make It So Easy

Get an amazing home transformation in 5 steps

  1. 1 step
    Old Siding Removal

    First, we carefully remove the old siding so as not to damage the sheathing underneath. This process is almost always necessary because leaving old siding on might compromise your new siding, leading to less durability and a rough appearance. This step can take anywhere from two to seven days, depending on the type of siding that needs to be removed and the size of your home.

  2. 2 step
    Sheathing Damage Inspection

    When the old siding is removed, we inspect the sheathing for areas that have rot, decay, mould, or any other type of damage. Fortunately, most homes do not require repairs, since siding does an excellent job of protecting the underlying sheathing. However, if repairs are needed, you could be looking at a small additional cost.

  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 install the strapping, which consists of building paper and flashings to help protect the walls from any excess moisture. Installing a rainscreen helps improve airflow and ensure your siding lasts a little longer is optional.

  4. 4 step
    Siding Installation and Touch-ups

    After all the prep work has been completed, the next step is installing your new siding. This process takes an average of seven to ten days, depending on the materials, design, and size of your home. We start by installing a trim board around windows, doors, soffits, overcap corners and fascia boards. Additional work includes insect screens, flashings, dryer vents and light fixture boxes. We 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

    When the installation is complete, it’s time to clean up your home’s outside space. We remove all construction waste and recycle whatever is possible, according to the industry’s best practices. Next, your project manager will inspect your siding and ensure that everything is up to our high standards. Finally, you will meet to review the work and get tips on caring for your new siding. The details of warranties on the completed work and materials will be provided.

FAQ

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

What’s the purpose of visiting my home before preparing a siding estimate?

A site visit allows us to understand your home’s exact conditions – everything from wall structure to insulation levels and the state of your current siding. We also take precise measurements and check for hidden issues such as moisture or aging sheathing. This ensures your estimate reflects real requirements instead of generic assumptions.

How does Waterloo’s weather influence the type of siding I should choose?

Waterloo experiences a full range of conditions: humid summers, snowy winters, and days that swing above and below freezing. These fluctuations can stress exterior materials. We recommend siding designed to handle regular moisture exposure, UV light, and expansion and contraction without losing shape or durability.

Which siding materials are available for installation?

We offer a wide selection: fibre cement, vinyl, engineered wood, cedar, and composite siding. Each material comes with its own advantages in appearance, strength, and long-term performance. During your consultation, we’ll compare them based on your goals, maintenance preferences, and budget.

Do you remove my home’s existing siding before installing the new system?

Most of the time, yes. Taking off the old siding lets us inspect for hidden issues like moisture damage, rotting wood, or missing insulation. Starting fresh improves the longevity and performance of the new siding system.

Is it possible to install siding during colder months?

In many cases, yes. Modern siding materials have temperature guidelines that allow installation throughout most of the year. Extremely cold or wet conditions may require temporary pauses, but we schedule work to maintain quality and manufacturer compliance.

What type of upkeep will my siding require after installation?

The level of maintenance depends on the material you choose. Vinyl only needs an occasional rinse, while fibre cement may require repainting after a long lifespan. We supply a customized care plan so your siding looks its best year after year.

Can I look at samples or previous projects before choosing my siding?

Absolutely. We have a curated set of before-and-after photos showcasing various materials, colour combinations, and styles. These visuals can help you narrow down your preferences and see how different options look in real applications.

Do I have to stay home while you work on the siding?

Not at all. As long as the crew has exterior access, siding installation can continue while you’re out. We keep in touch and update you if we uncover anything unexpected behind the old siding.

What design support do you offer for choosing colours and profiles?

We help you explore modern and traditional colour palettes, textures, and trim options. To make decisions easier, we can also create renderings that show how your renovated exterior will look.
