Need to renovate your exterior siding?

Replacing the exterior siding of a house in Canada is a major project that raises just as many aesthetic as technical questions. Across the country, Canadians live in some of the most demanding climates in the world for building materials. Between humid and scorching summers, autumn winds, and winters where the temperature can drop below -30°C, our home facades are subjected to constant stress.

Replacing the exterior siding on a single-family home, a 1970s bungalow, or a century-old house is an ideal opportunity to improve the building’s energy efficiency. Instead of limiting the project to a cosmetic upgrade, removing old vinyl, CanExel, or aluminum siding provides direct access to the exterior wall assembly.

Siding a house in Canada costs $2.50 per square foot installed for basic vinyl up to $55 for brick, which works out to roughly $6,000 to $30,000 for an average two-storey home in vinyl or aluminum. Premium materials like wood and brick push that considerably higher.
