Newmarket and Simcoe County’s winters are harsh, with freezing temperatures, heavy snow, and freeze-thaw cycles that can take a serious toll on your home’s exterior. Choosing the right siding is not just about aesthetics—it’s about protecting your home, improving energy efficiency, and reducing maintenance headaches.

At Reynolds Brothers Exteriors, we specialize in helping homeowners select and install siding that stands up to Newmarket and Simcoe County’s tough winter conditions, providing guidance from start to finish to ensure your home is ready for every season.

Why Siding Matters

Siding acts as your home’s first line of defense against the elements. Poorly chosen or improperly installed siding can lead to:

  • Water infiltration and rot

  • Ice dam formation

  • Higher heating costs due to poor insulation

  • Premature wear and tear from winter storms

Choosing the right material, color, and installation method is critical to protecting your investment.

The Best Siding Materials for Winter Durability

We guide homeowners through the options that are proven to withstand harsh winters:

1. Vinyl Siding
Durable, low-maintenance, and resistant to moisture, vinyl is a popular choice for winter-proofing homes. Insulated vinyl options provide extra protection against cold weather and reduce energy costs.

2. Fiber Cement Siding
This highly durable material resists cracking, warping, and rot. Fiber cement siding mimics the look of wood without the maintenance challenges, making it ideal for Newmarket and Simcoe County’s freeze-thaw cycles.

3. Engineered Wood Siding
Engineered wood combines the beauty of natural wood with modern durability. It’s moisture-resistant and can be painted or stained for a custom look while withstanding winter weather.

4. Aluminum Siding
Aluminum is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and able to endure snow, ice, and wind. With protective coatings, it remains low-maintenance and long-lasting.

5. Stone or Brick Veneer
For homeowners seeking maximum durability and insulation, stone or brick veneer provides superior weather resistance and a timeless aesthetic.
