Siding is your home's raincoat and its first impression at the same time. Dollar Contracting installs and replaces siding across Thunder Bay — vinyl, engineered wood, and James Hardie fibre cement — with the flashing and moisture detailing that actually keeps water out of your walls.
The material everyone sees is only half the job. Behind it we install a proper weather-resistive barrier, flash every window and door opening, and add continuous exterior insulation where it makes sense — the detail that stops drafts, cuts heating bills, and prevents the hidden rot that destroys walls from the outside in.
We also handle soffit, fascia, and eavestrough as part of a full exterior package so the whole envelope goes on as one coordinated system. Whether you're replacing failing siding before winter or refreshing curb appeal for a sale, you get crews who detail the parts you can't see as carefully as the parts you can.

Siding in Thunder Bay — FAQs
Common questions about siding projects in Thunder Bay and across Northern Ontario.
What siding holds up best in Thunder Bay's climate?
Fibre cement (James Hardie) is the most durable against our freeze-thaw and sun, engineered wood gives a warm look, and quality vinyl is the most budget-friendly. All perform well when flashed and installed correctly.
Can you add insulation while re-siding?
Yes, and it's the best time to. Adding continuous rigid insulation behind new siding cuts drafts and heating bills and stops thermal bridging — a big efficiency gain you can only get easily during a re-side.
Do you replace soffit, fascia, and eavestrough too?
We do — installing the whole exterior envelope as one system means the flashing laps and water paths all line up, which is what keeps water out over the long run.
