Siding, rot repair, roofing, decks and renovations.

Siding and rot repair are most of what we do. We also roof, build decks and renovate, for commercial properties, luxury homes and cottages, and everyday residential jobs.

Siding

New siding and siding replacement for commercial buildings, luxury homes and cottages. We install and repair wood, board and batten, vinyl, steel and fibre cement, and flash and seal around windows, doors and trim so water stays out.

Rot repair

Rot often reaches the structure. We shore up the building, cut out rotted sills, joists, beams, posts and wall framing back to solid wood, find where the water got in, and rebuild with new lumber. Rotted trim, fascia and siding get the same fix.

Questions we get asked most.

If your question is not here, call us or use the form.

Call us
Do you offer more than siding and rot repair?

Yes. Siding and rot repair are most of our work. We also roof (shingle and steel), build decks and railings, renovate, and handle framing and beamwork, flooring, cottage winterization and general repairs. If a job is not on this page, ask.

Do you take on commercial contracts?

Yes. We take commercial contracts for businesses, resorts and lodges, rental and multi-unit properties, and property managers, including siding, rot repair, roofing, decks and renovations. Send the plans or a description of the scope and we will price it. We carry $2 million in liability insurance.

Do you work on luxury homes and waterfront cottages?

Yes. We work on high-end homes and cottages around Lake Rosseau, Lake Muskoka and Lake of Bays, and across the Almaguin Highlands, including siding, rot repair, decks and renovations. Tell us about the property in the form and we'll get back to you.

Do you work in my area?

We work within 100 km of Sprucedale. That covers the Almaguin Highlands (Burk's Falls, Sundridge, South River, Magnetawan, Kearney, Emsdale, Novar and Katrine), Muskoka (Huntsville, Bracebridge, Gravenhurst, Port Carling, Rosseau, Baysville, Dwight and Dorset) and the Parry Sound District (Parry Sound, Powassan, Trout Creek and Callander). Beyond 100 km? Call and ask.

Do you repair structural rot in sills, joists and beams?

Yes. Rot is decay that starts where wood stays wet, and it often reaches sills, joists, beams, posts and wall framing, not only trim. We shore up the building, cut out the soft wood back to solid material, find where water gets in and fix that, then rebuild with new lumber. Deck ledgers and posts, floor framing at the foundation and the bottom of walls under failed siding are common spots. Send photos and we will tell you how far it goes.

Should I repair or replace my siding?

Repair works when the damage stays limited to a few boards and the wall behind them is dry and solid. Replace the siding when boards are soft or cracked across a whole wall, or when water has reached the sheathing. We install and repair cedar and other wood siding, board and batten, vinyl, steel and fibre cement. Send photos and we will tell you which one fits.

Do I need a permit to build or rebuild a deck?

In Huntsville, a deck needs a building permit unless it sits no higher than 24 inches above the ground and has no roof, or covers no more than 10 square metres and stands apart from other buildings. Other townships set their own rules, and waterfront lots can add site plan approval. We check what applies to your property when we quote the job.

Are you insured?

Yes. Garland Contracting carries $2 million in liability insurance. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request.

Do you offer free quotes?

Yes, quotes are free. Fill out the form or text photos of the job to (705) 238-8634 and we'll get back to you. For larger and commercial jobs, Dylan walks the site and sets the price. Siding and rot repair prices depend on how far the damage goes and how much access the work needs, so photos or a site visit come first.
