What to check when hiring siding / cladding contractors in Canada

MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.

  • Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
  • A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
  • Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
  • Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
  • Get a written, itemized quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.

How to judge a siding / cladding contractor

Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each contractor’s public evidence above.

Verify before you hire

  • Confirm they are a MANUFACTURER-CERTIFIED installer for the siding brand (James Hardie, CertainTeed, LP SmartSide, Gentek/Mitten): certification is typically what keeps the material warranty valid; an uncertified install can void it.
  • Check the provincial/municipal business or trade licensing that applies, plus WSIB/WorkSafe (provincial workers' comp) coverage and liability insurance: exterior work at height carries real risk.
  • Ask how they handle moisture behind the siding: a proper weather-resistive barrier and flashing around windows/penetrations, sized for Canadian freeze-thaw, prevents the hidden water damage that causes most siding failures.
  • Get a written, itemized contract covering tear-off and disposal, the exact product/colour, and the workmanship warranty separate from the manufacturer's material warranty.

Warning signs of a rogue contractor

  • Door-knockers after a storm pressing you to sign and claim it on insurance: deal with your insurer directly rather than an opportunistic crew.
  • Cash only or a large upfront deposit before materials arrive on site.
  • No manufacturer certification for the product quoted: the material warranty may not hold.
  • A quote with no tear-off, no weather-barrier/flashing detail, and no mention of a permit where the municipality requires one.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • Are you a certified installer for this siding brand, so the manufacturer's material warranty stays valid?
  • Do you carry WSIB/WorkSafe coverage and liability insurance, and any licence my municipality requires?
  • Will you install a weather-resistive barrier and flash the windows and penetrations behind the siding?
  • What does your workmanship warranty cover and for how long, versus the manufacturer's material warranty?

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a trustworthy siding / cladding contractor?
Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A siding / cladding contractor backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend siding / cladding contractors for payment?
No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Siding / cladding contractors are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
Where do the reviews come from?
They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
What should I check before hiring a siding / cladding contractor?
Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the siding / cladding contractor, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
