Tuxedo is one of Winnipeg’s most established neighbourhoods — mature elms lining wide streets, large lots, and homes built to last that have largely done so. Many Tuxedo properties date from the 1950s through the 1980s, and while they were well-constructed, the original siding and trim on these homes has been working against Manitoba winters for decades. The results show: cracked caulk lines, failing wood fascia, and aging vinyl that was never designed for sustained cold below -30°C. Stellar Exteriors installs siding, soffit and fascia, eavestroughs, and roofing on Tuxedo homes with the precision these properties deserve.
Our Services for Tuxedo Homes
Tuxedo’s housing stock is dominated by larger established homes — split-levels, two-storeys, and ranch-styles from the postwar era, with a growing number of newer luxury builds on sizeable lots. Many of these homes still have original wood siding or early-generation vinyl that’s reached the end of its useful life. Here’s how we approach each service on Tuxedo properties:
Siding — James Hardie fibre cement is our most requested choice on Tuxedo homes. Its profiles suit the architectural character of established properties, and it handles the extreme temperature swings of a Winnipeg winter far better than aging wood. For the neighbourhood’s newer luxury builds, LP SmartSide offers a premium engineered wood option with a clean, contemporary finish. We also install Kaycan and Gentek vinyl where that’s the right fit.
Soffit & Fascia — Older Tuxedo homes frequently show fascia rot along the roofline, particularly where ice dams have pushed water back under the eaves for years. We replace wood fascia with aluminum-capped or PVC product that won’t fail in the next cold snap.
Eavestroughs — Many Tuxedo properties have large overhanging trees, which means eavestrough maintenance and eventual replacement are a recurring reality. We install aluminum eavestroughs with proper pitch and capacity for Winnipeg’s spring melt.
Roofing, Custom Cladding, and Versetta Stone are also available for Tuxedo properties looking for a full exterior refresh.
