Siding Installation & Repair in London: what to expect

Southwestern Ontario weather around London runs humid in summer with its own freeze-thaw swings, and a lot of the housing stock is older, so damp, wear and dated systems come up often.

It's worth keeping the local housing in mind here โ€” Post-war bungalow neighbourhoods hold large numbers of original bathrooms and kitchens still in service.

About London homes

London has one of southwestern Ontario's deepest housing stocks: century homes in Old North and Wortley Village, wide bands of post-war bungalows, 1970sโ€“90s family subdivisions, and a big rental market anchored by Western and Fanshawe. Yellow-brick Victorians are a local signature, and keeping them sound is skilled, worthwhile work.

The rental side brings its own rhythm โ€” turnovers, repairs, repainting โ€” while owner-occupied neighbourhoods work through kitchens, bathrooms and basements that have run decades past their design life. Whatever your London home needs, request a free quote.

What affects your London siding installation & repair cost

A siding installation & repair quote in London comes down to the specifics of your job. The main things that move it:

  • Square footage and number of storeys
  • Condition of the sheathing underneath once old siding comes off
  • How much trim, soffit and fascia detail the house has
  • Whether old material needs removal and disposal or can be sided over
  • Access โ€” tight lot lines and decks against the wall slow the work down
  • Humidity and moisture history in London homes, which can mean extra prep on anything that has been damp.
  • Matching discontinued profiles for partial repairs can take sourcing time

Common questions

Do you cover all of London?
We take quote requests from every part of London and the surrounding area. If you're just outside town, send it anyway โ€” we'll tell you straight away whether we can help.
Will someone come out to look at the job in London?
For many jobs, clear photos are enough to quote accurately. When a job genuinely needs eyes on site in London, that's arranged โ€” and there's no fee just to quote.
My London job is tiny. Will anyone take it?
That's exactly what we're for. "No job too small" isn't a slogan we drop on page two โ€” describe the fix, however minor, and you'll get a quote for it.
Can you repair just one section of siding?
Usually. The catch is colour and profile matching โ€” vinyl fades, and manufacturers discontinue lines. On a newer home we can often match closely; on older siding, sometimes the honest answer is to take replacement panels from a hidden wall and put the new mismatched ones back there instead.
Vinyl or Hardie board โ€” what's the real difference?
Vinyl costs less, installs faster and never needs paint, but it can crack in a deep freeze and hail leaves marks. Fibre cement like Hardie is heavier, holds paint well, shrugs off impact and looks sharper โ€” at a noticeably higher price for material and labour. Aluminum sits in between and dents but doesn't crack.
