Buying Guides & Pricing

Cellular PVC trim ships with an installation table keyed to the air temperature on the day you cut it, and the two brands we stock publish different tables. This guide sets both schedules side by side, maps them onto the Ontario calendar, and works out how many linear feet of trim a real Newmarket house actually needs.

Siding cost is quoted in one unit and paid in four. This pillar prices all eight materials we stock per square foot, then rebuilds the number as a real invoice on a 1,992 square foot Newmarket re-clad, and finishes with the thirty year figure that reorders the whole ranking.

Four different materials share the engineered wood siding shelf, and the fastest way to tell them apart is to read the warranty rather than the brochure. This guide reads the actual warranty documents behind LP SmartSide and Maibec CanExel, shows what each one pays in year 6 and year 16, and sets out the Ontario install rules that quietly cancel the coverage.

Aluminum railing runs $85 to $130 per linear foot installed in Ontario and glass runs $120 to $400. The spread is not about the metal. It is about posts, stairs, anchors and code. Here is how to read a railing quote line by line.

Fiber cement vs vinyl siding, priced the way a contractor should price it: not at the signature, but across three decades of repaints, wall weight, and warranty terms. We ran the numbers on a 2,000 sq ft Ontario wall using the specs of the products we stock.

An eavestrough is the whole roof-drainage system, not just a metal channel, and speccing it well comes down to four decisions: material, size, seamless or sectional, and gutter protection. This guide walks each one for Ontario rain and snow, with downspout sizing, installed cost ranges, and a five-step sizing method.

Steel siding is winning Ontario jobs that vinyl used to own. This guide covers metal siding cost per square foot in Canada, the eight MAC Metal steel profiles we stock, the install details that matter, and how steel holds up through freeze-thaw and fire season.
