Siding in Caswell Hill

A 1905 neighbourhood where two-thirds of the homes stand detached and most walls predate 1960, with cladding stories to match.

Caswell Hill has been housing this city since Robert Caswell’s name went on the plan in 1905, on land tied back to the 1883 Temperance settlers, and Saskatoon Siding Co does some of its most careful work under this neighbourhood’s elms. Two-thirds of the homes here are single-family detached, and most of the stock predates 1960, with a proper share standing from before 1946, character houses with brick-and-wood faces, steep roofs, and porches built for the street.

Old Walls Tell Long Stories

Nearly every exterior project in Caswell Hill starts by finding out what the decades layered on. Original wood cladding sits under one or two later generations of siding on many houses, and the layers are where moisture hides and where a lazy quote goes wrong. Our approach is the neighbourhood-correct one: strip to the real wall, assess honestly with photos, repair what earns repair, and where a full replacement is the truth, rebuild the envelope with modern wrap and flashing under era-correct wood or heritage-profile fibre cement.

The neighbourhood’s landmarks, the 1910 brick schoolhouse, the 1907 park, the mid-century pool, set a streetscape standard that careless cladding genuinely damages. Keeping a Caswell Hill house looking like it belongs on its street is part of the job description.

The Canopy and the Sky

The mature elm and pine canopy that makes these streets is also a full-employment program for eavestrough cleaning, spring seed and fall leaves on a schedule you could set a calendar by. And the sky above has history of its own: this region has recorded hail up to the ten-centimetre class, the kind of stone that rewrites a west wall, which keeps storm assessment in the local vocabulary.

Character work, canopy maintenance, and straight answers, written down. That is what Caswell Hill gets from us.

Caswell Hill Siding Questions

What is the most common exterior problem you see in Caswell Hill?

Layered walls. A pre-war house here has often been re-clad twice, and the layers trap moisture and hide the original wall's condition. Our first job on many Caswell Hill projects is honest archaeology, getting down to the real wall, seeing what eighty or a hundred winters have done, and fixing that before any new face goes on.

Is a full re-side worth it on a house this old?

Often more than on a newer one, because the stakes are higher. Done right, strip to sheathing, repair, a modern water-resistive barrier, era-correct cladding, it buys the house another half century and keeps the street's character intact. Done cheap over the old layers, it buys a decade of looking fine while the wall underneath keeps its problems. We only sell the first kind.
