Georgian Bay, Siding, Soffit, Fascia, Eavestrough Installation Project
Transforming a Waterfront Home with Durable, High-End Exterior Finishes in Georgian Bay’s Moon River Marina
Sherak’s is delighted to present one of our most recent and rewarding projects: a complete exterior makeover on a residence located near the serene shores of Georgian Bay’s Moon River Marina.
Within 10 days, our experienced crew overhauled this beautiful waterfront home and detached garage with the installation of high-end Hardie Board siding, heavy steel soffits, modern fascia, and a brand-new, highly efficient eavestrough system.
We finished the job with caulking the entire house and professional cleanup, resulting in a flawless finish that blends longevity, performance, and style.
Project Overview: A Complete Scale Exterior Installing Spanning Over 4,000 Sq Ft
This project included the entire exterior cladding of the main residence as well as its stand-alone garage—a total of more than 4,000 square feet of exposed surface material. Exposed to the erratic weather patterns of Georgian Bay—defined by intense sun, heavy rain, snow, and high winds—the property needed low-maintenance, long-lasting exterior finishes that would be effective in its defense as well as create a high-end look.
Thanks to the professionalism of our crew and years of working directly with exterior remodeling, we were able to accomplish this transformation with ease in an efficient manner while maintaining the highest workmanship standards.
✅ Superior Hardie Board Siding Installation
Hardie Board Siding: Toughness, Good Appearance, and Built for Canada Weather
We chose James Hardie Board siding for the project—a superior, fibre cement product that’s quickly becoming the go-to siding option for Canadian homeowners looking for a combination of toughness and good appearance.
Why Hardie Board?
Hardie Board is designed to deliver. Made of a mixture of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, Hardie Board offers:
Unmatched Durability: Wood or vinyl siding can’t hold a candle. Hardie Board won’t melt, crack, or warp. It’s highly water-resistant, so it’s ideal for snowy, icy, or humid weather.
Fire Protection: Hardie Board does not burn and meets stringent fire safety regulations—another reason homeowners can feel safe.
Pest Resistance: Its composition makes it immune to termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.
Long-Term Value: It holds paint longer than wood, and when factory-finished, it has long-term color warranties.
Hardie Board’s sleek lines and natural finish also result in dramatic architectural finish that perfectly suits modern, beach, and traditional homes. We used a color and style in this Georgian Bay home that complements the natural environment around it and is more weather-resistant.
✅ Steel Soffits: The Strongest and Most Durable
Then, we installed steel soffits along the whole roofline of the house and garage. Soffits are a vital but all-too-often-overlooked component of any building’s outside—they wrap around the underside of the eaves and help to ensure good attic ventilation.
Why Steel Soffits?
Steel soffits are the toughest and most low-maintenance soffit material available. Here’s why they’re such a solid investment:
Superior Strength: Steel will not dent, bend, or warp from heavy snow loads or high winds unlike vinyl or aluminum.
Zero Maintenance: Paint is not required and they will never peel, crack, or fade over time.
Pest & Fire Resistance: Steel resists pests by nature and is non-combustible, offering added protection.
Excellent Ventilation Solutions: Vented and solid configurations both support steel soffits, which provide effective attic airflow to avoid moisture buildup and ice dams.
For this residence, steel soffits delivered functionality as well as clean, modern style to the roofline, flawlessly complementing the Hardie siding.
✅Installation of Fascia and Eavestrough
Some of the finishing of the roofline was the installation of new fascia boards for a look of smooth transition from the soffits to the roof system. Besides improving the overall look, the fascia serves an important function in providing a place of attachment for the gutter system.
Speaking of which, we also installed heavy-duty eavestroughs (gutters) that can absorb a tremendous amount of rain and snowmelt. These eavestroughs redirect the water away from the home foundation efficiently, thereby preventing erosion, water damage, and flooding in the basement. Drainage is particularly important in waterfront homes like this one, where landscape protection is key.
✅Caulking & Final Clean-Up
To seal and protect every aspect of this project, our crew applied professional-grade exterior caulking around all windows and doors, siding corners, and trim. This is a necessary process to prevent drafts, moisture, and bugs and to make the house energy efficient.
Next, we completed a thorough clean-up of the entire work area, removing debris, dust, and construction materials to leave the property in perfect condition and ready to be enjoyed. We pride ourselves on treating every home as if it were our own—and that means leaving it in better shape than when we arrived.
✅Professional Team. Quality Materials. Durable Results.
What really sets Sherak apart is not the grade of material we use, but the skill, attention to detail, and dedication of our team members. With years of experience in putting siding, soffits, fascia, and eavestroughs on challenging sites and on custom homes, we understand how to deliver results that will last.
