Renovation Xperts Group is a St. Catharines-based siding contractor serving all of St. Catharines — Port Dalhousie to Merritton, Grantham to Vansickle.

In 2025 we completed 40+ full re-sides in St. Catharines, with an average project cost of $18,400 for vinyl and $26,900 for James Hardie on a typical 1,500 sq ft two-storey home. Free on-site estimate within 24 hours, written quote the same day.
Based on the 40+ St. Catharines projects we completed in 2025, here is what typical homes actually paid, all-in:
These numbers include tear-off, house wrap, flashing, trim, disposal, and full labour. Insulation upgrades, structural repairs, and complex trim details are quoted separately.
St. Catharines sits in the Niagara escarpment's freeze-thaw belt with off-lake wind loading from Lake Ontario. On tear-offs we most often see: cupped and split cedar (typically 15–20 years old), brittle low-grade vinyl (25+ years), and rotted aspenite sheathing behind wood siding installed without a rain screen. Our default recommendation for St. Catharines is James Hardie HardiePlank for exposed elevations and CertainTeed Cedar Impressions insulated vinyl for accent walls — both handle the freeze-thaw and off-lake gusts without failure modes we've seen at the 20-year mark.
In St. Catharines, most siding projects fall between $8–$22 per square foot installed depending on the material. Based on 40+ St. Catharines homes we sided in 2025, vinyl averaged $10–$14/sq ft, engineered wood $12–$17/sq ft, and James Hardie fibre cement $16–$22/sq ft. A typical 1,500 sq ft two-storey St. Catharines home ranges $15,000–$28,000 including tear-off, house wrap, and disposal.
St. Catharines does not require a building permit for like-for-like siding replacement, but insulation upgrades, structural sheathing changes, or additions do. We pull permits when needed and handle the drawings.
St. Catharines's freeze-thaw cycles and off-lake wind favour James Hardie fibre cement (30-year finish warranty, non-combustible) and premium insulated vinyl. Both handle the temperature swings without warping. Cedar and low-grade vinyl are the most common failure modes we see on tear-offs.
A typical St. Catharines single-family home is 5–8 working days, weather permitting. Larger 2,500+ sq ft homes take 8–12 days. Our in-house crew does not subcontract, so schedules hold.
