Full house siding replacement
Starts at $15,000
When your siding begins to crack, warp, or show signs of age, a full replacement is an effective way to restore your home’s protection and appearance.

Homeowners wanting a rustic look often choose shingles. Because they create distinctive shadow lines, they add contrast and depth to a home’s exterior, creating a sense of coziness and warmth.

We Make It So Easy

Get an amazing home transformation in 5 steps

1 step
Old Siding Removal
The first thing we do is remove the old siding carefully in order not to damage the underlying sheathing. This step is almost always necessary because of the risks of installing new siding over old siding, which could result in diminished durability and a rough appearance.
This process takes 2 to 7 days, depending on the type of siding that needs to be removed and the size of your home. Some types of old siding, such as vinyl or cedar, can be removed quickly, while stucco and stone take longer.
2 step
Sheathing Damage Inspection
At this step, we inspect the existing sheathing for rot, mould or other damage. Fortunately, in our experience, most homes do not require repairs since siding does an excellent job of protecting the sheathing underneath. However, if repairs are needed, you could be looking at a small additional cost.
3 step
Preparation of the Wall for Siding
After your home’s sheathing has been inspected and any necessary repairs have been made, we begin the installation of building paper to protect walls from moisture. If you choose to install a rainscreen, it will prolong the lifespan of the building structure and your new siding for up to 5-10 years. The rainscreen system allows airflow between the house’s walls and siding, allowing any moisture trapped to evaporate quickly.
4 step
Siding Installation and Touch-ups
Over the next 7 to 10 days, depending on the materials used, the design, and the size of your home, we install a trim board around windows, doors, soffits, overlap corners and fascia boards. We also put in bug screens, flashings, dryer vents and light fixture boxes. Finally, we apply touch-up paint to the nails, matching the colour of the siding to create a seamless, professional look and caulking to seal any openings.
5 step
Waste Removal and Clean Up
After the siding installation is complete, the final step is cleaning up the construction site. We remove and recycle all construction debris in accordance with the best practices in the siding industry, leaving your property looking as if no work had been done.

FAQ

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

How does Halifax’s coastal climate affect siding performance?

Halifax faces heavy rainfall, strong coastal winds, salt air, humid summers, and cold, stormy winters. Siding must resist moisture intrusion, corrosion, swelling, and wind-driven rain. We help you choose materials proven to handle Atlantic Canada’s challenging conditions.

Why is an in-person inspection necessary before giving a siding estimate?

Halifax homes range from heritage properties in the North End and Hydrostone to modern builds in Bedford and Clayton Park. An on-site visit allows us to check for salt-related wear, moisture issues, outdated sheathing, or storm damage, while taking precise measurements. This ensures your estimate reflects your home’s real needs.

How long does a siding project take?

Most installations take 2 to 4 weeks, depending on home size, weather, and material availability. Heavy rain or storms may cause brief delays, but we keep you updated and protect your home throughout the process.

Do you remove the old siding before installing the new system?

In most cases, yes. Removing the existing siding allows us to inspect the sheathing for moisture damage, mould, salt-related deterioration, or outdated insulation. A clean, solid base ensures long-term performance.

What maintenance does siding require?

Maintenance varies by material, but coastal conditions can lead to algae or mildew buildup. Once you’ve chosen your siding, we provide a care guide tailored to local humidity and salt exposure.

Are you licensed and insured to work in Nova Scotia?

Yes. We meet all provincial licensing requirements and carry full liability insurance and WCB coverage to protect both your home and our installation team.

Do you offer design help with colours and styles?

Yes, we’ll guide you through siding profiles, trim accents, and colour palettes—and can provide visual renderings so you can preview the final result.

What happens if something seems off after the installation is complete?

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

Can I see examples of siding projects you've completed in Halifax?

Absolutely. We offer a gallery of before-and-after photos from homes throughout Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, Spryfield, Sackville, and nearby coastal communities. These examples help you visualize colour choices and material styles that look great in our region.
