Trusted & Top-Rated Across Niagara

A Cleaner, More Modern Exterior

Every neighbourhood has its own character. From the charm of Port Dalhousie to family homes throughout the North End and established streets in Merritton, no two homes age the same way.

Over time, siding can fade, loosen, or lose its clean appearance — especially with Niagara’s changing seasons, wind exposure, and summer heat. A properly installed vinyl siding system helps protect your home while giving it a refreshed, modern look that fits naturally into the neighbourhood.

We help homeowners upgrade to low-maintenance siding that’s easy to care for and built to maintain its colour and shape year after year. From surface prep and moisture protection to trim work and finishing details, every step is handled with care.

If your exterior is starting to show its age, a full siding replacement can restore curb appeal and improve long-term durability without overcomplicating the process.

Horizontal Siding GNHE

Horizontal Vinyl Siding

Clean, timeless, and incredibly versatile, horizontal vinyl siding remains one of the most popular exterior choices for homeowners looking to refresh their home without overcomplicating the design. Its balanced lines create a polished, finished appearance that works beautifully on both traditional and modern homes.

This style is also valued for its durability and low maintenance. When installed properly, it helps protect your exterior from moisture, temperature changes, and everyday wear — all while keeping your home looking sharp year after year.

Vertical Siding GNHE

Vertical Siding

Vertical siding creates a clean, modern look that instantly adds visual height and character to a home. It’s a strong choice for homeowners who want something that stands out while still feeling timeless.

This style works especially well on feature walls, accents, or full elevations where clean lines and bold contrast make a noticeable difference. When installed correctly, vertical siding delivers both durability and long-term curb appeal.

Board and Batten GNHE

Board & Batten Accents

Board and batten siding adds depth, texture, and architectural interest to a home’s exterior. It’s often used to highlight entryways, gables, or full walls where a bold yet clean look is desired.

This style pairs beautifully with traditional siding and masonry, creating contrast while still feeling cohesive. When installed properly, board and batten delivers a balanced mix of character, durability, and curb appeal.

Our Vinyl Siding Installation Process

A proper vinyl siding installation comes down to preparation, accuracy, and attention to detail. At Great Northern Home Exteriors, we follow a proven process that ensures your siding looks great and performs reliably in changing Canadian weather.

From the first inspection to the final walkthrough, our team focuses on clean lines, proper moisture protection, and long-term durability — so your home looks sharp from every angle.

  • Careful removal of old materials and inspection of the existing wall surface
  • Installation of proper flashing, moisture barriers, and trim components
  • Precise layout and alignment of vinyl siding panels for a clean, straight finish
  • Secure fastening with proper spacing to allow for natural expansion and contraction
  • Final cleanup and inspection so everything looks clean, finished, and professionally installed

Siding Profiles, Thickness & Colour Options

Every home has its own layout, character, and architectural details. That’s why choosing the right vinyl siding style matters — not just for appearance, but for long-term performance as well. We help homeowners select options that fit their home’s design, structure, and surroundings.

Vinyl Siding Profiles

We install a range of vinyl siding profiles so your exterior feels intentional and balanced from every angle:

  • Horizontal siding – a clean, timeless option that suits most home styles.
  • Vertical siding – adds visual height and works especially well on feature areas.
  • Board & batten accents – ideal for creating contrast and architectural interest.

Panel Thickness & Rigidity

We install quality vinyl siding designed to hold its shape and lay flat over time. Thicker panels help reduce waviness and provide a more solid, finished appearance — especially on older walls or uneven surfaces.

During your consultation, we’ll walk you through the differences between standard and upgraded options so you can choose the level of durability and finish that fits your home.

Colour & Texture Choices

The right colour and texture can completely transform how your home looks. We offer:

  • Neutral tones that blend naturally with brick, stone, and roofing
  • Richer, modern colours for a more contemporary appearance
  • Accent shades for peaks, entryways, and architectural features
  • Smooth or woodgrain textures depending on the look you want to achieve

We can also bring siding samples directly to your home so you can see how colours and profiles look in natural light alongside your existing exterior features.

Trim, Corners & Finishing Details

A professional siding installation is defined by the details. We use matching trim pieces, corners, J-channels, and starter strips to ensure clean transitions and consistent lines throughout the exterior.

Around windows, doors, and rooflines, we focus on clean edges and proper flashing so your siding looks sharp up close and performs well long-term.

Vinyl Siding Designed for Strength, Style, and Longevity

We install high-quality vinyl siding from trusted manufacturers like Royal® and Mitten®, selected for their long-term performance, colour stability, and clean appearance. These products are built to handle changing weather conditions while maintaining their look year after year.

  • Resists fading, peeling, and surface wear over time
  • Colour-through panels help minimize the appearance of scuffs
  • Low-maintenance materials that clean easily with soap and water
  • Multiple profiles and trim options to suit different home styles

We’ll help you choose the right combination of profile, colour, and finish so your siding complements your rooflines, windows, doors, and overall exterior design.

Upgrade More Than Just the Siding

Many St. Catharines homeowners choose to combine siding projects with new windows, entry doors, or eavestrough. Doing everything together can give your home a finished, intentional look and help you get the most out of your investment.

Because we handle windows, doors, siding, and eaves, you don’t have to deal with multiple contractors. We coordinate the work so trims, colours, and details all line up properly.

Siding Installation FAQs

Do I need a building permit to replace my siding?

In some cases, exterior siding work may require a building permit — especially if structural changes are involved. Requirements can vary depending on the scope of work, so it’s always best to check before starting. You can review local guidelines through the City of St. Catharines building permit page .

How long does a typical siding project take?

Most siding projects take anywhere from a few days to about a week once work begins. Timelines can vary depending on wall prep, material choice, weather conditions, and the size of the home. We always provide clear expectations before starting.

Can new siding be matched to an existing section?

In many cases, yes. If only part of your exterior is being updated, we can often match the existing profile, colour, and exposure. When an exact match isn’t possible, we’ll recommend options that still look clean and cohesive from the street.

What warranty comes with your siding installation?

We include a 5-year workmanship warranty on our siding installations. If anything related to installation needs attention, we’ll take care of it. Product warranties are provided directly by the manufacturer and vary by product line.
