SIDING INSTALLATION
When we’re not installing beautiful roofs across the GTA, we are adding and repairing the siding on homes and buildings. We offer siding installation and maintenance to ensure that every inch of your home is covered and protected.
What is siding?
Siding is the material used to protect the side of a building. Sometimes referred to as cladding, this material keeps a house’s structure intact and protects it from weather conditions such as rain, sleet, snow, wind, and even heat. Siding also stands up to insects and birds that may want to take a nibble on the side of your house.
What are the different types of siding?
Generally siding comes in the form of vinyl, aluminum, and steel. It is also available in wood or concrete, although these materials are not very commonly used in Southern Ontario. The type you choose for your own home will often depend on the overall aesthetics of the property. If you are constructing a new home, we can help you decide which type of siding will work best.

Vinyl
Vinyl siding comes in a variety of colours, with the most popular hues being white and beige. It is impact resistant and easy to maintain. Like its aluminum counterpart, vinyl siding is lightweight. However, it has a better ability to withstand denting and scratching, and also produces less visible blemishes if hit or scraped by a tree branch or wayward bird. Vinyl is also a very breathable material letting vapor escape should it become trapped inside.
Steel
Steel siding does not come in a wide array of colours but it does provide superior protection against the elements. Although each type of siding can protect against wind, rain, and snow, steel sliding is generally better suited for larger buildings. It does not dent as easily as other materials and is easy to repair should it incur any damage. With proper maintenance, steel siding can last upwards of 30 years.
