Siding Materials & Colours Available
Vinyl: A durable, affordable, and prevalent siding choice, vinyl does not require re-painting. Lightweight, it’s also easy to install.

Lifespan for vinyl siding is 20-40 years.
Cedar: Similar to vinyl in that cedar is resilient to insects and long-lasting. However, cedar siding does require re-staining and costs more.
A finish will help naturally warm cedar to last longer. Although it may be left untreated in its natural state, it can also be painted our Canadian flag colours of red or white. The gorgeous grain of cedar in addition to stain and texture selection makes cedar an appealing choice for homeowners on the West Coast and beyond. Cedar is further available in different patterns such as tongue and groove.

Trim: Wood and vinyl trim, when thoughtfully chosen, can unify the entire look of the home exterior. It can be installed around windows and doors, obviously, but also corners, posts, and beams.
Trim is the finishing touch of a modern home. White is the predictable trim colour, but black makes it modern. Or there are other tones you can experiment with from our Kaycan vinyl trims.
Lifespan for trim is around 25 years.
