Repair or replace?
Localized damage may be repairable when the surrounding material is sound and a compatible match is available. Replacement deserves consideration when damage is widespread, brittle, recurring or connected to the wall assembly.

Siding Replacement in Nepean
Replacement is a larger decision than repairing one damaged panel. Look at the pattern of damage, wall condition, energy goals, exterior details and how long you plan to stay in the home.

Scope questions
What should be visible in the conversation?
01
Faded, cracked or brittle siding
02
Warping, loose panels or missing sections
03
Moisture staining or suspected damage
04
Pest or impact damage
05
Outdated exterior or changed renovation goals
06

07
Insulation and air or water control questions
Make the scope comparable
Ask whether removal, disposal, sheathing repairs, weather barrier, insulation, flashing, trim, soffit and fascia are included or treated as allowances.
Energy and comfort
New cladding does not automatically solve insulation or air leakage. If comfort is part of the goal, ask for a clear explanation of what the proposed wall assembly can and cannot change.
