Ottawa Siding Contractor for James Hardie, Vinyl and Aluminum
James Hardie Elite Contractor | Vinyl Siding Institute Certified | BBB A+ Rated | Siding Installation, Replacement & Repair
Siding Installation and Replacement in Ottawa
Siding is your home’s first defence against Ottawa wind, driving rain, snow and the freeze-thaw cycles that crack and warp cheaper cladding. Vanity Roofing is a siding contractor serving homeowners across Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley, installing and replacing James Hardie fiber cement, vinyl and aluminum siding. As a James Hardie Elite Contractor and a Vinyl Siding Institute certified installer, we install every product to the manufacturer’s specs so your warranty holds.
A siding project usually includes removing the old cladding, checking the sheathing and house wrap for moisture damage, then installing new siding with matching trim, flashing around windows and doors, and new soffit and fascia to finish the roofline. Doing your roof at the same time? We can handle both with one company and one schedule, so ask about a roof replacement quote too.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl is the most popular siding in Ottawa because it is affordable, low maintenance and comes in a huge range of colours and profiles. The colour runs right through each panel, so it will not chip or peel like paint, and it does not rot or rust. A rinse with the hose once or twice a year keeps it looking new.
As a Vinyl Siding Institute certified installer, we fasten and lap every panel so it can expand and contract through Ottawa’s temperature swings without buckling. We also collect the recyclable material from your old siding and take it to recycling centres, so your project leaves a smaller footprint.
James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding
Fiber cement siding is made from cement, sand and cellulose fibres, which makes it tough, fire resistant and very stable through freeze-thaw. James Hardie is the best-known brand, and it gives you the look of wood lap siding, shakes or panels without the rot, warping or woodpecker damage.
As a James Hardie Elite Contractor, we are part of a select group of installers recognized by James Hardie for installation quality. Installed properly, fiber cement keeps moisture out and can last 50 years or more, and it can be repainted if you ever want a new colour.
Some older cement-board siding made before the 1980s contained asbestos. Modern fiber cement, including James Hardie, does not, but if your home still has old cement-board siding we will let you know how it needs to be handled before it comes off.
Aluminum Siding
Aluminum siding is light, strong and will not rot, rust or attract mildew. It holds up well in Ottawa weather and suits homeowners who want a classic look with very little upkeep, and insulated aluminum panels can add some energy efficiency to older homes.
Aluminum only needs a wash every year or two, and a fresh coat of paint after many years if the finish starts to fade. We also repair and replace sections of existing aluminum siding damaged by storms or impact.
