Siding in St. James
Re-siding the 1945-1970 bungalow belt of west Winnipeg, from Deer Lodge to Crestview, with cladding hung for open-prairie wind.
St. James filled in fast after the war. Between 1945 and 1970 the fields west of the city became Silver Heights, Westwood, Crestview and a dozen more subdivisions, and the airport that opened in 1928 grew into the anchor of west Winnipeg. Those streets are now lined with bungalows and storey-and-a-halfs whose exteriors have been working for sixty and seventy years. That is the work Winnipeg Quality Siding does here.
What West Winnipeg Does to a Wall
This is the open edge of the city. The land is Lake Agassiz lakebed, table-flat, and the northwest wind crosses the airport lands with very little to slow it down before it reaches a Westwood gable. Wind works on cladding relentlessly, testing every course that was nailed tight decades ago, lifting corners, and driving rain and snow at walls sideways. The loose-course and lifted-trim calls we get after a plough wind come disproportionately from this side of town.
The south edge of St. James runs along the Assiniboine River, which swells hard with spring melt. River-adjacent streets around Deer Lodge and the older east end carry the moisture story: damp springs, saturated clay, and cladding whose lower courses see more water than the material was ever going to enjoy.
Siding Work We Do in St. James
The postwar stock takes everything we offer. Full siding replacement is the core of it, tear-off, sheathing repair where seventy years left soft spots, and new vinyl or Hardie hung with the expansion room a prairie wall demands. Wind repairs keep us busy between the big jobs, and most re-sides here bundle soffit, fascia and eavestroughs so the whole exterior finishes as one piece.
The variety is the fun of it. A wartime house near Deer Lodge, a mid-century bungalow in Silver Heights and a 1960s split in Crestview all wear different bones, and the quote reflects each wall rather than a formula.

St. James Siding Questions
Do you work throughout St. James?
Yes, the whole former city of St. James-Assiniboia, from the Deer Lodge end out through Silver Heights, Westwood and Crestview to the Perimeter. Send the address and we will quote what the wall actually needs.
What do St. James homes usually need?
Most of the housing went up between 1945 and 1970, so the common jobs are full re-sides on original or second-generation cladding, plus soffit, fascia and eavestrough work on rooflines that have carried seventy winters. Wind damage repairs are the other steady call in the west end.
