Project Requirements

A past client referred us to this homeowner after we installed a Hardie Board siding system for them. The house is under Heritage Conservation, so we needed to match details and materials from over 100 years ago.

Project Proposal

We gave the homeowner a clear quote that covered all materials and installation. Our plan included rigid insulation, waterproofing, strapping for airflow, and Maibec rabbeted bevel brushed wood siding. We also ordered custom trim boards to meet heritage standards.

The Process

We installed 1-inch rigid insulation boards on top of the wall sheathing to improve energy efficiency. Next, we secured Tyvek HomeWrap with plastic button head nails. We lined up the strapping with wall studs to hide all screws.

We installed siding on three sides of the home and added trim boards around all doors, windows, and corners. Two roof overhangs needed a rebuild because of rotten wood and squirrel damage. We installed tongue-and-groove soffits to match the front of the house. We also added 4-inch round louvered vents to meet Ontario’s Building Code and improve attic airflow.

Our team finished the job with new K-style gutters and a full drainage system. The result was a durable siding project that kept the heritage look while boosting performance.
