Every edge sealed against moisture. Every drop carried away from the foundation.
The exterior of your home is extremely important. Not only is it the first part your friends will see when they visit, it’s also a great way to attract potential buyers. And it’s your home’s first line of defense from the weather and natural forces.
Quality siding will protect your house but your soffit, fascia, eavestroughs and downspouts are also all important lines of defense against the wind, the rain and the snow.
Renovating the entire outside of your house in Ottawa will give it a fresh look, enhance its market value, and safeguard it against the elements for years to come.
You’ve come to the right place if you want to change the outside look of your home.

We are so happy we went with NorthCo to do our exterior renovation/siding. Right from the start, we felt comfortable and not pressured. Etienne, our estimator, was terrific and listened carefully to what we were looking for and answered all our questions (quite a difference from other companies we had do estimates). Claudel, the lead designer, was so helpful when we were selecting our new design and siding. Dan, one of the owners, was very hands on and always reachable by text for any questions or concerns. The biggest praise, however, is for the siding crew Liam and Kodi. They were so professional, hardworking, and detail oriented. The quality of their work was impressive, always going the extra mile to not just make it good but to make it the best. They went out of their way to make sure we were happy and were wonderful to deal with. Their hard work and friendliness even caught the attention of one of the neighbours on our street – who has since reached out to NorthCo for an estimate. And we made sure to rave about our experience.

NorthCo did a great job on our siding. From the salesman and designers, I was consulted every step of the way. There was a lot more work than expected but Liam and his crew did a fantastic job and the house looks great.
Eavestrough, soffit and fascia installation, planned to scale
Every colour, each run of capping and where each downspout goes —marked on scaled drawings of your home, approved by you before anything is ordered.
Every piece, in its colour
Your designer marks each piece on the elevations: fascia, soffits and eaves, corner trims, starter and finish capping, and the downspouts, each in its chosen colour, so nothing is left to guess on site.
Measured to your roofline
Field measurements become scaled drawings of every façade, with the soffit and fascia lines, window and door clearances and roof ties checked as they’re drawn.
Approved before production
You sign off on the set before anything moves into production. A structural change is called out up front, with the right trades coordinated and the drawings revised.

Traditional beauty mixed with modern siding was key.

The same but different — sometimes a refresh is all that’s needed.
A focused four-week refresh: new vinyl siding, straightened lines, consistent reveals, and coordinated soffit & fascia. The result is a tidy, durable exterior that complements the stone and boosts curb appeal - without the upkeep.
What are the top reasons to do a full exterior renovation with us?
There are many different advantages to renovating your Soffits, Fascia, and Eavestroughs and Downspouts.
Here are a few of these benefits:
Prevent further damage and decay of your property
Having new siding installed can help seal the outside of your home to the elements and prevent moisture/rot/mold issues for years to come.
Your Soffits, Fascia, and Eavestroughs and Downspouts will also require general repair over time. Whether these have been damaged by wind, ice, rowdy teenagers, or have begun to collect water and decay, you must act promptly. Failure to do so can result in the damage compounding each season and eventually leading to more major issues.
You’ll be boosting the value of your property
A potential homebuyer will likely have your home inspected professionally if you decide to put it on the market. If the inspector notices deficiencies in any of your home’s exterior components, they will be going into a written report and potential buyers could use that to negotiate the purchase price down, or even back out altogether.
Be proactive! It’s less expensive to do the repair yourself ahead of time, and your house will sell more quickly.
By repairing your home’s exterior, you’ll increase the energy efficiency of your home
Not many siding products offer significant insulation value, but there are some out there like the Royal Haven that can up to R2.4 to your home’s exterior. Having new house wrap and siding installed also helps seal everything up and limit the amount of cold air transferring to your wall cavities.
You can also add Rigid Foam Insulation underneath your new siding, roughly R-3.5 to R-6 per inch depending on the product. It’s up to you to decide how many inches you want to install, typically 1″ to 2″ or more. Added insulation thickness can mean a permit; we confirm and handle it when required.
Rigid Foam lets you improve your home’s heating and cooling performance and cut thermal bridging, without having to rip open drywall and change all wall cavity insulation.
You’ll improve the curb appeal of your home
When it comes to selling your property, curb appeal is crucial. Damaged or dated siding, broken Soffits, Fascia, and Eavestroughs and Downspouts can really turn onlookers off.
And even if you’re not selling your home, why not treat yourself to a new exterior that you can be proud of and that makes your house stand out from the rest of the street.
Keep animals from building nests in your roof
It’s not uncommon for homeowners to have problems with birds and other animals coming into their soffits and building a home underneath the roofline. Making sure your Soffits and Fascia are secure is the first and best way to make sure you don’t have critters nesting up there.
Reduce the amount of time you spend cleaning Eavestroughs each season
Our professional team offer a variety of Gutter-Guards that can be installed on existing or new Eavestroughs. Our lineup of products offers protection against various types of trees and actually work well (compared to cheaper versions out there). Spend less time up on a ladder getting dirt on your face, leave the leaves to the wind.
Once your selections are set, we load them into Buildertrend — your project dashboard.Approve items, see what’s pending, and track updates in real time, so everything stays transparent and on schedule.
One hub for everything
Soffit and fascia colours, eavestrough profiles, downspout placement and trim details all live here: what was chosen, when it was approved, and what’s still pending.

What siding material are you considering?
This is the biggest factor in your exterior investment. Pick what interests you — we'll walk you through options in person too.
Budget-Friendly
Vinyl Siding
e.g. Royal, Royal Haven
Low maintenance, great value, wide colour range. The most popular choice in Ottawa for good reason.
Mid-Range
Fibre Cement
e.g. James Hardie, Allura
Durable, fire-resistant, and looks like real wood. Handles Ottawa winters better than vinyl with less warping.
Premium
Metal / Longboard
e.g. Longboard aluminium, steel panels
Architectural steel or aluminium panels. Non-combustible, pest- and rot-proof, low maintenance.

Often recommended. New soffit improves roof ventilation, and matched fascia and trim delivers a cohesive look and better water management.
Usually, yes. We schedule around extreme temperatures and use season-appropriate methods; paint and caulk cure windows may affect certain materials.
For like-for-like siding, often no. If scope includes structural changes or added exterior insulation thickness, permits may apply. We confirm and handle it when required.
It’s exterior-only work, but removal and installation do create noise and some mess — that’s unavoidable with tear-offs. Expect daily cleanups including magnet sweeps for nails, protected landscaping and walkways, tidy bin and material placement, and respectful daytime working hours.
We typically start early and wrap early. Your project manager will share the daily schedule before we begin and flag any changes. To meet timelines we may add occasional weekend work — always communicated in advance.

We offer all kinds of exterior wrapping services in Ottawa, not just siding/cladding. Here are others we specialize in:
Soffits
Soffits are an often-overlooked, yet crucial, component of your home’s exterior. The underside of your roof’s overhang is covered by soffits and it needs to be ventilated to help allow air to circulate and prevent moisture build up in your attic.
Soffits, like the rest of the parts covering your home’s exterior, can be made of a variety of materials. Each one has its own set of characteristics that may or may not make it a good fit for your home.
Here are some of the popular materials used for soffits and their different advantages:
Aluminum Soffits
At Northco Services we offer and install aluminum soffits on almost every project.
In comparison to other materials, aluminum provides higher damage protection. It won’t decay and is bug-resistant. It also resists moisture better, protecting your rafters and attic from decay and other damage. Aluminum Soffits are also installed in sections and can be easily repaired if damaged.
Wood-look Aluminum Soffits
There are also thicker, more appealing Aluminum Soffits out there that look like wood and truly appeal to the eyes. One example is Royal Cedar Renditions. These come in 2 forms, either vented or unvented.
Specialty Soffits
There are other products out there like James Hardie HardieSoffits that look amazing and still allow for proper ventilation and blend perfectly with a James Hardie siding installation. This is a non-combustible fiber cement material, so it won’t rot, warp, or attract pests, and it has excellent dimensional stability in harsh seasons.
Other products like Cedar and Maibec Genuine Wood offer the possibility of having wood soffits with proper venting, through their patented ventilated strips, and look just superb.
Vinyl Soffits
This type of Soffit has advantages like low costs and low maintenance, similar to Aluminum Soffits.
Fascia
Fascia and Fascia Boards are the component that cover the “front face” of your roof’s edge and are used to provide a stable backing for the eavestroughs installation.
Most modern Fascia are made of Aluminum, in a color that matches Soffits, but they can also be made of lumber/wood, HardieBoard/HardieTrim, or other flat materials.
In wet weather, Eavestroughs aka “gutters”, collect and transport water away from the roof, down into your Downspouts, and release it away from the foundation, thus preventing damage to it due to water sitting and seeping through it.
While Eavestroughs may appear insignificant, they play an important role in extending the life of your home, by preventing soil erosion and keeping water from seeping through your foundation and into your basement.
Because of their importance, it’s key that you repair your Eavestroughs as soon as they present signs of wear and tear, start coming undone from the Fascia, or if you see signs of leakage.
If you feel like your Eavestroughs and Downspouts need repair,
What’s the process?
The first step in giving your home a complete makeover is to prepare the jobsite, which includes moving and protecting your belongings before we setup our tools and equipment, and setting up a bin to collect all the waste in a manner that doesn’t damage your driveway or block access.
Then we’ll remove all Eavestroughs, Fascia, Soffits, all layers of the old siding and underlayment/membrane, in order to see the condition of the existing structure and to prepare the surface for the installation of the new products. If we notice any deficiencies that require attention, we’ll bring these up with you, propose a plan, and move forward with the work once you approve everything in your client portal.
After the surface is deemed fit for new production installation, we’ll proceed with window and door installation, if you’ve signed on for that option with us. Tyvek house wrap is then installed to make your home impermeable to water, while still allowing it to breath. If you’ve opted to add extra insulation to your home, usually as Rigid Foam Insulation underneath the new siding, we’ll take care of that too.
The next step is the most important because it’s what you and everyone sees the most… we’ll install all new Trim and Siding to manufacturer’s specifications, which many manufacturers’ limited warranties require.
Once the new Siding is on, we’ll install new exhaust vents, reinstall your fixtures, with our licensed trade partners handling any wiring, caulk everything, and move on to the next steps, which is to install all new Soffits, Fascia, and Eavestroughs and Downspouts.
We’ll treat your home with the same care and attention as if it were our own. After the work is completed, we’ll give the outside of your home a complete clean up with our blowers and magnets, so make sure we get as much of the debris off your property.
Our Project Managers will always do a full walk-through with you, checking every elevation. Any touch-ups required are coordinated and scheduled promptly, and the work is covered by our 5-year workmanship warranty.
And that’s it!
