Siding Installation & Repair

New siding improves your home’s curb appeal, thermal performance, and long-term weather resistance in a single project. MKT Roofing & Exteriors installs vinyl, aluminum, and fibre cement siding — the three most specified cladding materials for Ontario residential construction.

Siding & exterior cladding — Ontario data

Siding replacement consistently recoups 75–80% of project cost at resale — one of the top exterior renovation investments by return.

Fibre cement siding carries a Class 1A fire rating — the highest for exterior wall cladding — relevant to properties within 1.2 m of a property line.

Heating costs in homes with inadequate wall insulation and cladding can be 15–25% higher — insulated vinyl siding closes part of that gap.

Signs it’s time to replace your siding

Cracked, warped or buckled panels — structural failure, not cosmetic
Faded or peeling paint that doesn’t respond to repainting
Rising heating and cooling bills — thermal envelope failure
Soft spots or moisture behind the cladding — water intrusion
Mould, mildew or rot at joints, corners and bottom courses

What our installation includes

Professional siding installation means more than attaching panels. We install a continuous, vapour-permeable house wrap, properly flash all windows, doors and penetrations, and detail every horizontal and vertical joint for drainage — not just appearance.

If removing old siding reveals damaged sheathing, rot or persistent moisture, we document and repair it before installation — so your new cladding starts over a sound, dry substrate.

Frequently asked questions

How much does siding installation cost in Ontario?

Vinyl siding for a typical home ranges $8,000–$18,000; fibre cement $15,000–$32,000. Final price depends on home size, material choice and substrate condition. Free written estimates are available.

How long does vinyl siding last in Ontario?

Quality vinyl properly installed lasts 30–40 years. Insulated vinyl tends to hold structural integrity longer thanks to the foam backing.

Can siding be installed over existing siding?

It’s possible in some cases, but we recommend removal to inspect the sheathing and install proper house wrap — which ensures warranty validity and prevents moisture problems.

Does new siding improve energy efficiency?

Yes. Insulated vinyl and fibre cement paired with proper house wrap improve the building envelope. Combined with attic insulation upgrades, the energy impact is significant.
