Exteriors
One contractor for the whole outside of your house.
Roof, walls and eavestrough work as a single system that keeps water out. When they are replaced by separate contractors, the joints between them are where problems start. We assess and renovate the exterior as a whole.
- Suits you if
- More than one part of the exterior needs work and you want it handled as one building envelope.
- To scope it, we need
- Your address and municipality
- Photos of the problem area or the whole elevation
- What prompted the call: damage, age or appearance
What usually prompts the call
Common concerns
- Storm or age damage across more than one part of the exterior.
- Several trades to find, compare and schedule.
- Uncertainty about what needs replacing and what can be repaired.
- Concern about water getting in before winter.

Permits and inspections
Like-for-like exterior replacement often needs no permit, but rules vary by municipality and by scope. This is confirmed for your address.
We do not publish price ranges, because a range wide enough to be true is too wide to be useful. You receive a written estimate after a site visit, as a fixed price or a cost-plus contract.
How the work runs
Step 1 · First
Envelope assessment
We inspect and photograph the roof, walls, eavestrough, soffit and fascia and note what is damaged, worn or sound.
Step 2 · After the site visit
Written scope and estimate
You receive a written scope that lists the work, the materials and the allowances. The estimate follows the scope line by line, so you can see what each part costs.
Step 3 · Before any work starts
Contract and schedule
The contract sets the price structure, the payment schedule, how changes are approved and who is responsible for each permit. A written schedule comes with it.
Step 4 · Before work starts
Material ordering
Materials and colours are confirmed in writing and ordered.
Step 5 · Weather permitting
Installation
Work proceeds from the top down so each layer overlaps the one below it.
Step 6 · At completion
Walkthrough and closeout
We walk the finished work with you, list anything outstanding and complete it. You receive the inspection records and warranty documents that apply to your project.
Exterior renovations: common questions
Do I have to replace everything?
No. The assessment separates what must be replaced from what can be repaired and what can be left alone.
Can you work to my insurer’s scope after hail damage?
We give you an itemized written scope with photos that you can share with your insurer. Coverage decisions are between you and your insurer.
Do you work on exteriors in winter?
Some exterior work is limited by temperature and weather. Your schedule reflects the season, and we tell you when a material should not be installed in cold conditions.
What happens if you find something unexpected?
Work stops on that item. We show you what we found, explain the options and give you a written price for each. Nothing extra is built or billed until you approve it in writing.
