Several signs indicate it's time to replace your house siding, including visible damage like cracks or warping, fading or discoloration, peeling paint or wallpaper inside, high utility bills, and signs of mold or mildew. Other indicators are excessive maintenance needs, pests or holes, and the overall age of the siding. 

Yes, updating your siding can significantly enhance your home’s curb appeal and may raise its market value, making it a worthwhile investment for many homeowners.

Siding is durable and suited to Halifax’s climate. It requires little maintenance and can improve your homes energy performance. The primary thing to consider is the style of your home and how the new siding will complement your homes design, all while falling within your budget.

Choosing the right siding for your home is a personal decision, but having expert guidance can make it much easier. You'll need to decide on:

• Siding colour

• Texture – like smooth or wood grain

• Style – such as board and batten, vertical panels, or horizontal lap siding

When making your selection, it’s important to think about your home’s architectural style and how the siding will coordinate with other exterior features like the roof, brickwork, and garage doors. You should also consider current siding trends in your neighbourhood. While it’s great to have a home that stands out, going too bold or using a style that doesn’t suit your home or street can actually hurt its curb appeal and resale value.

Our team offers design support to help you choose the best siding options that complement your home’s style and enhance its long-term value.

The lifespan of new siding varies depending on the material, but generally ranges from 20 to 50+ years. Vinyl, wood, and aluminum siding typically last 20-40 years, while fiber cement siding can last 50+ years. The actual lifespan can be influenced by factors like climate, installation quality, and maintenance. 

The timeline will vary based on two elements, the size of your home and the complexity of the project. Often the removal of old siding and the preparation (inspection of wall and application of house wrap) takes as much time as the installation of the new siding. Each project is unique and there is no “one size fits all” answer. Rest assured our focus on quality workmanship means that when completed, you have beautiful siding to elevate your home.

Our team will guide you through preparation steps, such as clearing outdoor spaces and ensuring access to the work area. Every project is different and any specific factors that could help the installation process will be discussed, for example, use of the driveway, site access, etc.
