Selkirk’s housing runs from century-old homes near the river and the downtown grid, through the postwar bungalows and split-levels that make up most of the city, to the newer subdivisions added over the past decade. Each needs something different.

Siding — On Selkirk’s 1950s–70s homes, we most often find original stucco or first-generation vinyl that has gone brittle, cracked at the corners, or pulled away at the seams. Full replacement with James Hardie fibre cement or LP SmartSide engineered wood gives these homes a finish that holds up to freeze-thaw and river-valley humidity without repainting. Kaycan and Gentek vinyl remain the cost-effective option for a straightforward replacement. On new builds, certified installation keeps your manufacturer warranty valid.

Eavestroughs — This is where Selkirk homeowners call us most. Ice damming pulls eavestrough loose over the winter; spring melt overloads undersized or badly pitched runs; downspouts end up dumping at the foundation. Most of this is repairable, and we repair systems we didn’t install. When a run is past saving, we replace it with seamless aluminum sized to the roof, not to a default.

Soffit & Fascia — Rotted fascia is common on Selkirk’s older homes, and it’s almost always a ventilation problem that started in the attic. We replace with aluminum-capped fascia and vented soffit sized for the attic — and we check the venting before we quote, because replacing the board without fixing the cause means doing it twice.

Custom Cladding — Selkirk searches for exterior cladding more than almost any community we serve. Custom aluminum bending and architectural cladding handle the details standard siding can’t: parapets, bay windows, chimney chases, and the transitions on older homes that were never square to begin with.

We know what the Red River does to a house.

Selkirk sits on the river, and homes close to it deal with higher ground moisture and humidity than most of Winnipeg. That shows up as fascia rot, staining behind siding, and eavestroughs that overflow every spring. We select products and detail the installation for that, not for a generic Manitoba spec.

Certified installers. Valid warranties.

James Hardie Certified. LP Preferred Contractor. VSI Vinyl Certified. Third-party designations that require meeting the manufacturer’s installation standard — which is also what keeps your warranty intact.

Post-job inspection on every project.

John returns after every job to walk the site — Selkirk included. He checks the details, confirms the site is clean, and signs off. Almost no contractor does this. We come back.

No surprises.

The quote is the price. The crew shows up when we said. If we find rot behind the fascia once we’re in, we tell you before we proceed — not on the invoice.

A+ BBB. 250+ five-star Google reviews.

Nineteen years of exterior work across Winnipeg and the surrounding region. The record is there to check before you call.

Do you serve Selkirk?

Yes. Selkirk, East Selkirk, Lockport and the surrounding RMs of St. Andrews and St. Clements are within our regular service area. We’re out this way often enough that scheduling an estimate is no different than in Winnipeg.

Do you repair eavestroughs in Selkirk, or only replace them?

Both. Most Selkirk eavestrough calls are repairs — sections pulled loose by ice, leaking seams, crushed downspouts. We repair eavestroughs we didn’t install, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a repair will hold or whether the run is past saving.

What siding works best on an older Selkirk home?

For a 1950s–70s home near the river, we usually recommend James Hardie fibre cement or LP SmartSide. Both handle freeze-thaw and humidity far better than standard vinyl and don’t need repainting. Kaycan and Gentek vinyl are the cost-effective option if the budget calls for it.

Does being close to the Red River change anything about the installation?

It changes what we pay attention to. Homes near the river see more ground moisture and humidity, so we detail the housewrap, flashing, and eavestrough drainage carefully and check fascia and soffit ventilation before quoting. It’s the same product, installed with more care at the details that fail first in a wet environment.

How long does a typical project take in Selkirk?

Most single-family siding projects take 3–5 days. Eavestrough replacement is usually one day; repairs are often same-day. Distance from Winnipeg doesn’t add time — we plan the crew’s week around it.

Do you offer a post-job inspection?

Yes. Every project, every community. John returns after the crew is done to inspect the work and confirm it’s right.
