Hiring a siding & exterior cladding contractor in Woodstock
Siding failures are rarely about the panel itself, they are almost always about what is behind it, missing flashing or a poorly lapped moisture barrier that lets water track behind the wall. Whether you choose vinyl, fibre-cement, engineered wood or metal, the installer's attention to those hidden details matters more than the finish colour.
What to look for
- A clear plan for house wrap or moisture barrier installation and lapping
- Proper flashing around windows, doors and roof-to-wall transitions
- Experience with the specific material you're choosing, since fastening and clearances differ
- Understanding of manufacturer material warranty versus their own workmanship warranty
- Attention to ventilation gaps so cladding can dry properly behind the surface
Questions to ask
- What moisture barrier are you using, and how will it be lapped and taped?
- How will windows, doors and roof transitions be flashed?
- What is the manufacturer's material warranty, and what is your separate workmanship warranty?
- How is the job priced if you find rotten sheathing once the old siding is off?
- Are ventilation gaps included behind the cladding for this material?
What it tends to cost
Cost depends on square footage, material and how much of the existing siding, sheathing or trim needs to be removed and replaced, so vinyl generally costs less than fibre-cement or engineered wood, with metal cladding often at the higher end. Extra prep, such as replacing rotten sheathing found once the old siding comes off, can add to the price, so ask how that scenario would be handled and billed.
Red flags
- Plans to install over existing siding without addressing the wall behind it
- No clear answer on flashing at windows, doors or roof lines
- Cannot explain the difference between the material warranty and their labour warranty
