It’s the first line of defense between the structural framing of your home and all the elements that Ontario experiences throughout the year, including twelve months of freeze-thaw cycling, wind-blown rain, ice buildup, and UV radiation during the summer months. If siding is in good condition, properly installed, and well-maintained, it does its job quietly without drawing attention. As it deteriorates, it has negative effects that quickly spread inward, compromising insulation, air sealing and finally the structural components on the back side.
Roofing Repairs Dun-Rite Inc. offers roofing services in the greater Toronto area, and applies the same 42 years of exterior building experience and direct oversight from Brad Ellis to siding work that characterizes our roofing projects. Siding replacement, new installation, and continuous maintenance are our services for residential and commercial properties in North York, Etobicoke, Scarborough and throughout the entire GTA service area.
This is the most comprehensive siding service we offer and the preparation work that precedes the installation of the new material is what will determine the performance of the finished result. Prior to the installation of any new siding, the existing material is removed without any harm, the sheathing under it is checked for moisture damage, soft spots, or any rot conditions, which the old siding was hiding, and any structural problems discovered as part of that inspection are corrected before the new siding is installed over it. The most successful sidings will result from selecting the appropriate product for the correct exposure, architectural features, and the owner’s maintenance desires of the property. For its durability, low maintenance and cost competitiveness, vinyl siding is the most popular choice in the GTA residential properties. Fibre cement siding provides excellent resistance to impact and dimensional change when it is exposed to hot and cold weather conditions and the issues of thermal movement and physical impact are real, making it an ideal choice for properties in exposed locations. Engineered wood siding provides a natural wood appearance with improved moisture resistance compared to traditional wood products. Material selection is a discussion we have with every property owner before a replacement project begins, because the right choice depends on factors specific to the property rather than a single default recommendation applied regardless of the situation.
Siding maintenance extends the service life of an existing installation and prevents the gradual deterioration that leads to premature replacement. Our maintenance service covers inspection of all siding panels and trim for cracking, warping, and seal failure, caulking inspection and renewal at all penetrations and transitions, cleaning to remove biological growth and staining that accelerates surface degradation, and documentation of any conditions requiring repair before they develop into larger problems.
Regular maintenance on a GTA property’s siding is particularly valuable after the first winter season, when thermal movement across the cold months can open gaps at joints and around penetrations that were properly sealed at installation.
Soffit and fascia are the finishing components that complete the roofline transition from the roof edge to the wall below, and they work harder than their appearance suggests. Fascia boards carry the gutter system and provide the finished edge that prevents water from running back along the rafter tails into the structure. Soffit panels close the underside of the eave overhang and, in a properly ventilated system, provide the intake airflow that the attic ventilation system depends on to manage heat and moisture buildup through all seasons.
Failed or damaged soffit and fascia allow water, pests, and cold air into areas of the building that have no weather protection once that barrier is gone. Our soffit and fascia work covers complete replacement of deteriorated components, repair of isolated damage, and integration with new gutter installations where the roofline components are being addressed as part of a broader exterior project.
