Vinyl siding is the most popular for its affordability and low maintenance. Fiber cement (James Hardie) is the premium choice — it resists rot, fire, and insects, and lasts 50+ years. Aluminum is excellent for durability and fire resistance. The best choice depends on your budget and aesthetic preferences.

A typical home siding installation takes 1-2 weeks depending on house size, siding type, and weather conditions. RenoHouse works efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring quality installation.

For larger small-town properties, cedar or pressure-treated wood fences offer the best value for long runs. Vinyl fencing is more expensive upfront but requires zero maintenance — a significant advantage for large perimeters. We help you balance cost, aesthetics, and maintenance requirements for your specific lot size.

Clean gutters twice yearly — after spring pollen and after fall leaves. Check for proper slope (¼" per 10 ft toward downspouts), tighten loose brackets, and ensure downspouts direct water at least 4 ft from the foundation. Gutter guards reduce maintenance significantly and are worth the investment on homes near trees.

Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech) handles Ontario's freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and humidity without splitting, warping, or rotting. While it costs more than pressure-treated wood initially ($30–$45/sq ft vs. $20–$30 installed), the zero-maintenance longevity provides better value over 20+ years.
