Siding is one of the most crucial exterior features of your house. Not only does it showcase your property’s style, but it also protects your home from the elements. Siding is essential for insulating your home against extreme heat and cold, debris, pests, and inclement weather. The different options for replacing siding can be confusing for homeowners. In this blog, our team at All-Side Contracting explains the signs you need to be aware of for siding replacement.

The exterior siding of your home helps improves its curb appeal. It is a great way to add colour and definition to your house. To select a siding option for your home, you’ll have to consider factors such as durability, energy efficiency, aesthetics and cost.

In this blog post, we discuss the various types of exterior siding that will be suitable for your home.

Siding is a protective exterior that covers the walls of a home or residential building. The primary purpose of siding is to protect the house and the household items within them. It protects your house from rain, snow and wind. A well-installed siding can shield your house from harmful weather conditions. Another purpose of siding is to provide aesthetic value to your house. Since it will take up the majority of the surface area outside your home, an attractive siding will add an extra appeal to your residence. All-Side Contracting Ltd. provides home and business owners in Edmonton with professional and affordable exterior renovation solutions.

Previously, the utility of metal roofs was limited to warehouses and barns. But, now they are popular for all types of buildings – residential and commercial. Compared to asphalt shingles, they are more durable and versatile. They stand up well to high winds and a protective coating discourages rust. All Side Contracting Ltd. has been installing metal roofing in Edmonton for 20 years. Being well-versed in the process, we bring you certain factors to consider regarding this.

The icicles hanging along the roof of your home may look picturesque but they spell trouble. This is because the climatic conditions that form icicles also lead to ice dams. Preventing these can be a big task during the harsh winters as they block eavestroughs all over Edmonton. Rooftop ice can cause harm to shingles and eavestrough systems, resulting in water leaks to your Edmonton property.

Exterior wood trim can require a good deal of maintenance. When the paint begins to peel, you get wood rot, mould and moisture problems. That is, unless you opt for window capping. With window capping, you no longer need to lift a finger—nor reach for your pocketbook—to keep your trim looking as good as new. And it has a bunch of other advantages to boot.

When it comes to weatherproofing your home’s exterior, metal and vinyl siding are among the best options available. You can’t go wrong with either one, albeit each has its own unique advantages.

Taking care of your home's windows is important when it comes to protecting it from the elements. While your window frames might not be ready for an entire replacement, getting them capped offers a wonderful alternative that will increase their durability and make them more aesthetically pleasing in the process. At All-Side Contracting Ltd., we take pride in doing the best work possible for you and your home. Let our team of experts show you some of the benefits of capping your windows.

The gutters and downpipes that make up your eavestrough system are a key part of keeping your Edmonton home safe from water damage all year round. Not only do they catch rainwater, they safely redirect it. This prevents the rain from collecting on your roof and beside your house. Ultimately, water will be quickly and efficiently redirected to a safe course toward the sewage system.

Vinyl and metal siding are the first line of defense against the harsh Edmonton elements. For them to do their job and protect your property, however, they need all the help they can get. Once the barrier set up by your siding has been breached, termites, rodents, and the weather all have a point of access to the wood or other materials underneath. For siding to work its best, it has to work as a whole. We at All-Side Contracting Ltd. in Edmonton would like to let you know about a few signs that your house needs new siding.

If you’re thinking about replacing the roof on your home or business, you might feel a little overwhelmed by the many choices. There are a lot of options out there, and it’s only natural to want to choose a roofing material that you’ll be happy with for decades to come. Keep reading for six reasons why we think you should take a second look at metal.

You originally bought your house after falling in love with the authentic and rustic look of its wood siding, only to stare in dismay at the faded walls some years later. You know you need to repaint, but it’s a tedious and time-consuming task that you would much rather do without. You’ve contemplated vinyl paneling, but you can’t bring yourself to compromise on aesthetics.

Do you notice water spewing from your eavestrough in the rain? Perhaps you’ve noticed a furry critter or two taking up residence in your gutters? These are signs that it may be time to give your eavestrough a thorough cleaning. 

Eavestroughs, also known as gutters, are the channels that line the edge of your roof and dispel rainwater away from your home.
