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.

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.

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.
