Scarborough Siding

Scarborough features a wide range of residential properties, from post-war neighborhoods and family subdivisions to renovated homes and newer custom construction. Exterior siding projects in Scarborough often focus on upgrading aging materials, improving weather resistance, and modernizing the appearance of homes that have been in place for decades.

Century Aluminum provides residential siding services throughout Scarborough, delivering exterior systems designed to perform as a complete assembly rather than a surface-only upgrade. Each project is evaluated based on the home’s existing condition to ensure new siding integrates properly and performs reliably over time.

All siding projects referenced on this site are completed by Century Aluminum using in-house crews and consistent installation standards.

Scarborough homes often experience greater exposure to wind, moisture, and seasonal temperature swings, particularly in areas closer to open corridors and elevated terrain. Many properties also retain original wall assemblies that were not designed for modern siding systems.

These conditions can influence:

• Moisture management behind the siding
   
• Wall flatness and fastening performance
   
• Material selection for durability
   
• Long-term maintenance expectations
   

Addressing exposure and wall condition early helps ensure siding systems perform as intended and maintain their appearance over time.

Residential siding projects in Scarborough commonly include:

• Full exterior siding replacements
   
• Upgrades to aging vinyl, aluminum, or wood siding
   
• Partial siding tied to renovations or additions
   
• Gable, second-storey, and rear elevation upgrades

• Dormers and bay build outs
   
• Exterior improvements focused on durability and curb appeal
   

Many projects aim to extend the life of the home’s exterior while improving overall performance against the elements.

Material selection in Scarborough is often guided by durability and long-term performance, especially on homes with greater exposure to weather. Homeowners also consider how new siding will integrate with existing exterior features.

Common siding materials include:

• Vinyl siding for versatility and maintenance efficiency
   
• Aluminum siding for moisture resistance and clean lines
   
• Steel siding for added rigidity and impact resistance
   
• Architectural accent materials for contrast and design features
   

Century Aluminum works with all major suppliers to source compatible colors and profiles, allowing new siding to blend seamlessly with existing materials.

Proper wall preparation is essential for siding projects in Scarborough, particularly on older homes or properties with previous exterior repairs. Preparation ensures new siding installs evenly and manages moisture effectively.

System preparation may include:

• Inspecting existing wall surfaces
   
• Installing continuous housewrap
   
• Adding rigid insulation where wall performance upgrades are desired
   
• Addressing transitions between original construction and renovations
   

These steps help improve both performance and finished appearance.

Siding installation in Scarborough follows system-based practices that account for seasonal expansion, moisture movement, and long-term exposure. Proper fastening patterns, flashing, and sequencing are applied across all elevations.

This approach helps reduce movement-related issues and supports long-lasting exterior performance.

Detailed installation standards are outlined on the Siding Installation page.
