Siding in St. Boniface
Cladding for the city's oldest streets, century homes near the Cathedral district and the 1950s-60s stock of Norwood, Windsor Park and Southdale.
St. Boniface has been building houses longer than almost anywhere in Western Canada. Founded as a mission in 1818, a separate city until 1971, and still the largest francophone community in the West, it holds Winnipeg’s deepest layers of housing: 1880s-to-1920s character homes near the Cathedral and Norwood, then ring after ring of mid-century growth through Archwood, Windsor Park and Southdale. Winnipeg Quality Siding works across every one of those layers.
Old Walls Are a Different Craft
A century home’s exterior is an assembly modern houses never had: plank sheathing, true-dimension framing, original wood cladding under one or two later layers, and a hundred years of settling into Red River clay at the junction of two rivers. This neighbourhood has watched the Red and the Seine flood five memorable times since 1826, and the ground carries that moisture history.
Re-siding these houses starts with respect for what is there. Tear-off goes carefully because what is underneath is the actual structure’s weather record. We repair the sheathing with materials that suit it, build the wrap and flashing to modern practice, and then have the character conversation: cedar or wood for the faithful route, or a Hardie heritage profile that keeps the street face right while ending the paint cycle. There is no single correct answer, and we quote the honest options rather than steering to one.
The Mid-Century Rings
Windsor Park and Southdale boomed through the 1950s and 60s, and those streets bring the classic postwar work: original cladding at end-of-life, full replacements with modern materials, and rooflines, soffit, fascia and eavestroughs, refreshed in the same scope. Different job than the Cathedral district, same standard of detail.

St. Boniface Siding Questions
Can you re-side a century home without ruining its character?
Yes, and it is some of our favourite work. The options run from real wood and cedar for a faithful restoration, through engineered wood and Hardie profiles that read as heritage from the sidewalk while cutting the maintenance dramatically. We quote more than one route so you can weigh character against upkeep with real numbers.
Which parts of St. Boniface do you cover?
All of it, the old core around the Cathedral and Norwood, through Archwood and Dufresne, out to Windsor Park and Southdale. The mix of eras is exactly why we like working here.
