Stratford has a beautiful older housing stock through the core and around the river: Victorian and Edwardian homes with wood trim, decorative gable work and details worth preserving. Re-siding those is a different job from a new build. The trim profiles matter, the proportions matter, and cladding over the character is the wrong answer even when it is the cheap one.
Out toward the edges of town the newer subdivisions are conventional construction with straightforward elevations — and reaching the age where original builder-grade siding and eavestrough start needing attention.

Getting to you
Stratford is home, so scheduling here is easiest. Older streets in the core sometimes mean tight side access for ladders and staging, which we check when we quote.
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 Stratford 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 carefully. Older homes here have trim profiles and gable detailing worth keeping. We will talk through what to cap, what to replace and what to leave alone before quoting.
How fast can you get to a Stratford job?
Quickly - it is our home town. Quotes are usually within a few days and the work is scheduled around the season.
Can you do siding, eavestrough and soffit all at once?
Yes, and it is the sensible way to buy it. They all meet at the same roof edge, so doing them together means one colour match and one crew rather than three visits.
