Siding in Montgomery Place
The veterans' neighbourhood of half-acre lots and self-built postwar homes, nationally designated and due, house by house, for its next exterior.
Montgomery Place was built by the people who came home from the war, on 230 acres of Veterans’ Land Act half-acre lots, and Saskatoon Siding Co treats its exteriors as the stewardship work they are. Some nine hundred homes went up here between 1945 and 1977, many raised by the veterans themselves from standard house plans of the day, on streets named for the battles and commanders they served under. In 2016 the neighbourhood’s story earned national historic recognition.
Postwar Homes at the Re-Side Age
A house built between 1945 and 1977 is now somewhere between its fifth and eighth decade, and its exterior has almost certainly been done once already, often in the aluminum or first-generation vinyl of the seventies and eighties. Those second exteriors are themselves aging out, which makes Montgomery Place classic replacement territory: strip the layers, repair what the decades left, bring the envelope to modern standard, and choose a face that suits a postwar streetscape. Clean horizontal lap in vinyl or fibre cement carries the era’s proportions well, and insulated siding earns its keep on walls framed to 1950s code.
The big lots add scope in the good way, detached garages and shops that want matching cladding, long eavestrough runs under mature trees, and soffit and fascia from the painted-plywood generation ready for vented aluminum.
Weather With a Memory
This corner of the city has taken its storms, including a documented quarter-sized-hail event in July 2017, and half-acre exposure means walls here meet wind and sun without much shelter. Material advice in Montgomery Place leans accordingly: put the toughness on the weather faces, and let the written quote show what each step up costs.
A neighbourhood that built itself deserves contractors who show their work. Ours arrives in writing.

Montgomery Place Siding Questions
Montgomery Place has a historic designation. Does that limit siding choices?
The 2016 national designation recognizes the neighbourhood's story, the Veterans' Land Act settlement, the street names carrying battles and commanders, rather than imposing a materials bylaw on each wall. What it should shape is judgment. Homes here deserve exteriors in keeping with the neighbourhood's postwar character, and we quote profile and colour choices with that in mind while keeping every modern envelope standard underneath.
What is different about working on these lots?
Space, pleasantly. Half-acre lots mean real setbacks, mature trees, and usually a garage or shop that wants matching treatment, so Montgomery Place scopes often cover more than the house. It also means wind and sun get a full run at the walls, which is worth remembering when choosing material for the west face.
