The limestone buildings St. Marys is named for do not get sided, but almost everything else does. Frame additions on stone houses, later-built homes through the surrounding streets, and the newer development on the edges all need the same siding, eavestrough, soffit and fascia work as anywhere else.
What comes up more here than elsewhere is the transition detail — where new siding on an addition meets original stone or brick. Done carelessly that junction is both ugly and a water trap. Done properly it disappears.
What we get called for in St. Marys
Siding on frame additions to older stone and brick homes
Transitions where cladding meets stone or brick
Full re-sides on later-built homes
Eavestrough replacement and resizing
Soffit and fascia on older eaves
New construction on the edges of town
Getting to you
A short run from Stratford and easy to schedule alongside it. Older in-town lots occasionally mean a longer carry from the truck.
How a quote works
Call or email with roughly what the house is and what you are thinking. We come and look — free, and with no obligation. On a re-side we will open a section so you hear what the wall is actually doing before you get a number.
You get a written quote itemised by scope, so you can see exactly what is in it. If we find something behind the old cladding that changes the price, you hear about it with photographs before we carry on rather than on the final invoice.

Why St. Marys calls us
One trade for the whole edge
Siding, eavestrough, soffit and fascia all terminate along the same line. Doing them together is how that line ends up straight.
Colours from one order. Soffit, fascia, trough and capping matched rather than four suppliers’ idea of white.
We look behind it. On any tear-off you hear what the wall is doing before the quote is final.
Hung to move. Vinyl needs room to expand. Nailed tight it splits, and that is the failure we see most.
Nobody to blame. When the fascia is rotten behind the trough it is one company’s problem.
Yes, and the important part is the junction where new cladding meets original stone. It has to shed water rather than trap it behind, and it should look deliberate from the street.
Do you cover the surrounding Perth South area?
Yes - St. Marys, Thorndale, Kirkton, Granton and the rural properties between them.
Is it worth doing eavestrough at the same time as siding?
Almost always. The trough has to come off to side properly anyway, so putting new trough back rather than refitting twenty-year-old sections costs less than doing it as a separate job later.
