Transform your home's exterior with premium siding from Hamilton's most trusted contractor. Vinyl, fiber cement, and engineered wood options with lifetime warranty.
Custom Contracting has been transforming Hamilton homes with beautiful, durable siding for over 25 years. As a James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor, we're among the top installers in Ontario for fiber cement siding—the premium choice for Hamilton's climate.
Our expertise spans all major siding types: vinyl, fiber cement (James Hardie), engineered wood (LP SmartSide), aluminum, and wood. We help homeowners choose the right material based on their home's architecture, budget, and maintenance preferences.
Hamilton's climate is tough on exterior cladding. Our humid summers, harsh winters, and temperature swings can damage inferior siding quickly. We've seen too many homes with siding that's cracking, warping, fading, or allowing moisture intrusion after just a few years.
Quality siding installed correctly provides decades of protection. It insulates your home, reduces energy costs, prevents moisture damage, and dramatically improves curb appeal. With proper installation—including housewrap, flashing, and ventilation—your siding investment will last 30-50+ years.
We don't just nail siding to your walls. Our comprehensive process includes removing old siding, inspecting and repairing sheathing, installing premium housewrap (Tyvek or equivalent), proper window and door flashing, J-channel and trim details, and finally the siding itself with attention to expansion gaps and fastening patterns.
We install all major siding types. Here's what works best for Hamilton's climate and your budget.
