Ancaster homes
What an Ancaster exterior has to stand up to.
Ancaster mixes older homes around the original village with the subdivisions built out from it over the last few decades, much of it up on the Niagara Escarpment. These are the exterior problems that matter most in a town like this.
Older homes and painted wood
On older houses, original wood trim, soffit and fascia rot where the paint has failed, and old windows and doors leak air. New soffit and fascia, aluminum cladding on trim, beams and posts, and replacement windows and doors fix the cause instead of repainting it.
Homes on their original siding
Houses built in the last few decades are often still on their original siding, eavestrough and windows. Faded, brittle or loose siding, sagging eavestrough and drafty windows are the usual signs that it is time.
Wind and weather on the escarpment
Exposed lots take wind-driven rain and snow side-on. That tests the house wrap, flashing and caulking at every window, door and corner, which is why we spend the time on the layers you never see.
Mature trees and full eavestroughs
Streets with big trees fill eavestroughs with leaves every fall. Overflowing eavestrough dumps water at the foundation and soaks the fascia. Properly sized and pitched eavestrough, with downspouts carrying water clear of the house, protects the basement.
