Siding in Nutana

Saskatoon's founding neighbourhood, where 1883-to-1926 housing stock deserves cladding chosen for the street it stands on.

Nutana is where Saskatoon started, the Temperance Colony settlement of 1883, and Saskatoon Siding Co treats its walls with the respect a founding neighbourhood has earned. The housing stock here runs from the 1880s through the 1920s in its character core, wood-frame homes that came clad in horizontal drop siding, and about 3,800 dwellings today share the streets around Broadway.

Character Work Is Its Own Trade

An exterior in Nutana is not a subdivision job with older trim. Era-correct profiles matter, and we source them, drop siding and bevel patterns from specialty mills, or modern wood and engineered-wood lines that carry the same reveal without the same repaint cycle. Proportions matter, since a character house re-clad with the wrong exposure width looks quietly wrong from across the street forever. And repairability matters most: our default in this neighbourhood is repair over replacement, splicing matched boards into sound walls and saving full re-sides for the houses whose envelopes are genuinely done.

Where owners do go full replacement, the win is doing the century of catch-up behind the cladding, sheathing repairs, a continuous air barrier, flashing that 1912 never heard of, and then putting the correct face back on. Fibre cement in heritage profiles has become a popular answer here, wood’s look with hail’s number.

Old Trees, Old Eavestrough

Nutana’s canopy is glorious and merciless: mature elms feed troughs all summer and load them every fall, which keeps our eavestrough cleaning and repair crews in the neighbourhood on a standing basis. The hail belt this city sits in, part of the storm-prone band across the prairie’s dry triangle, tests old walls and old trough alike every few summers.

Free written quotes, era-correct options priced beside modern ones, and a crew that knows which streets earn the extra care. Nutana’s do.

Nutana Siding Questions

My Nutana house still has its original wood siding. Repair or replace?

Start with repair, genuinely. Original horizontal drop siding from this era was cut from lumber worth keeping, and splicing matched boards into sound walls preserves both the house's value and its face. Replacement enters the conversation when rot has gone wall-wide or a previous owner's cladding choices have already broken the original envelope. We will tell you which story your walls are telling.

Do you match heritage profiles, or does a re-side mean a modern look?

We match. Specialty mills still cut the drop and bevel profiles this neighbourhood was built in, and engineered-wood and fibre-cement lines now carry period-appropriate reveals as well. A Nutana streetscape earns that trouble, and a house that keeps its proportions keeps its worth.
