Siding Replacement in Saskatoon
The full re-side, old cladding stripped, the wall underneath made right, and a new exterior chosen for the next thirty prairie years.
Every exterior has a last winter, and when yours reaches it, Saskatoon Siding Co replaces the whole system properly: strip, correct, re-clad. A re-side done right is the most consequential renovation a prairie house gets, because it decides how the next thirty years of weather land.
Strip First, Because the Wall Underneath Is the Job
We take the old cladding off completely rather than siding over it. Covering old material is faster and we do not do it, because it buries every problem the old wall collected and wrecks the depth of every window, door, and trim detail on the house. With the wall stripped, the sheathing gets inspected and repaired, the water-resistive barrier gets made continuous again, and flashing goes in where the original builders skipped it. That layer is where re-sides earn or lose their money, and it is the part no drive-by quote can price honestly.
Choose the Next Thirty Years
A replacement opens the whole material menu: vinyl for value, insulated vinyl where the wall behind is thin, Hardie board for hail country, steel for the toughest wall on the street, or wood where the house’s era calls for it. Most owners also settle the whole envelope at once, soffit, fascia, and eavestrough in matching finish, because scaffolding a house twice is nobody’s idea of savings.
The 1980s and 1990s stock in Sutherland and the first-generation builds now aging in Warman are entering exactly this window, whole streets wearing their original cladding out on schedule.
One Scope, No Drift
Re-sides go wrong through vagueness, so ours are written tight: products named down to profile and gauge, trim and flashing detailed, discovery handling agreed in advance, schedule by wall. You should be able to hand our scope to any contractor in the city and get comparable bids. That confidence is the point of writing it that way.

Siding Replacement Questions
How do I know my siding is due for replacement rather than repair?
Watch for wall-wide symptoms instead of single failures. Panels gone brittle enough to crack at a touch, fade so deep the colour changes at every seam, waviness that follows the sun across a face, repairs stacking up on the same exposure. Any one of those says the material is at the end of its run. We put the repair-versus-replace call in writing either way, and plenty of assessments still come back repair.
What happens to what is under the old siding?
It gets looked at, which is half the value of a re-side. Stripping exposes the sheathing and house wrap, and on an older home there is nearly always something to correct, a soft patch of board sheathing, wrap that stopped being continuous decades ago, flashing that never existed. We price known corrections in the scope and flag how discoveries get handled before anyone opens a wall.
What kind of timeline should I plan around?
Think in wall-days rather than a magic number. A modest bungalow in vinyl moves quickly; a tall complex house in fibre cement, with surprises under the old cladding, runs longer. Your schedule names the sequence up front, which walls in which order and when trim and eavestrough land, and the site gets tidied every night because you are living inside the project.
Can I change materials when I replace?
The re-side is exactly the moment to. Nothing obliges the new wall to repeat the old one, and stepping from tired vinyl to fibre cement on the weather walls, or to a two-texture profile that suits the house better, costs only the material delta. The quote prices your options against each other so the change is a decision, not an upsell.
