When Edmonton Homeowners Want Value, They Choose a Vinyl Siding Renovation
Siding that’s beautiful and cost-effective? You can’t beat the benefits of vinyl. And you can’t beat a Blue Jay vinyl siding installation.
Vinyl siding has been the most popular siding in the Edmonton area since the early 1990s, and for good reason. There are still thousands of homes all across the city with 25+ year old vinyl that’s still going strong. It may have seen better days from an aesthetic standpoint, but it’s still protecting just as well as the day it was installed.
One complaint that homeowners often have about vinyl siding is the boring colours. But that problem is so 20 years ago! Today’s vinyl siding is not a compromise on style. You can choose light or dark colours in dutchlap, traditional, board & batten, shakes… the design combinations are endless!
And it’s not just looks: vinyl siding is long lasting too. With an expected lifespan of 30 years, you won’t have to worry about residing again for a very long time. Especially when you choose the team at Blue Jay Exterior Renovations. As Edmonton’s siding renovation experts, we deliver nothing short of excellence on every project we complete

Low Maintenance
OK, who reading this website is looking for a “high-maintenance” siding for their home? One that needs a ton of work to keep it looking its best? Anyone?
Yeah, we figured not.
That’s one reason why homeowners across the prairies choose vinyl siding. It’s as maintenance-free as an exterior product can be. A light spray with the garden hose (and maybe a quick wipe with a clean cloth once in a while) is all you need to keep your vinyl siding looking shiny and new.
Now if only you could clean your bathrooms that easily…
Cost-Effective
Vinyl siding is the lowest cost option for an exterior renovation: full stop. But that doesn’t mean vinyl siding is “cheap” or “flimsy”! You still get the long lasting protection your home needs. It just doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg.
And if one of your goals for your siding renovation is to maximize energy efficiency, vinyl might be the perfect choice. Because it’s the lightest exterior siding material, vinyl allows us to install thicker layers of exterior insulation without having to worry about heavier siding panels sagging away from the walls (because of siding nails not being able to bear the load).
All in all, investing in a vinyl siding renovation won’t just save you money during the installation. It can save you money for the lifetime of your siding.
Colour Options
With three vinyl manufacturers (Royal, Mitten, and Gentek) producing wonderful products that hold up beautifully in our climate, we have triple the colour options available. That means when you’re considering a dark blue, you’ll actually have 6 or 7 options instead of just a couple. If that sounds a bit overwhelming, don’t worry! With a dedicated siding showroom displaying full sized pieces of every colour, local addresses of completed work, and fully customizable 3D models, we make your comfort in selecting the right colour part of our process.

Easy To Repair
One of the best features of vinyl siding is one that many homeowners in Edmonton don’t know about. Vinyl siding is hands down the easiest exterior material to repair, in case of damage.
If a piece of vinyl siding gets broken or chipped, our installers can simply unhook the broken piece, pull the nails, and pop in a brand new one. And it only takes about 15 minutes!
Take a look at the photo below. 3 panels of siding on this wall were damaged by a snow removal company. We swapped out the damaged pieces, and the wall looks as good as new!
A Few Reasons Why Blue Jay is Edmonton’s Best Vinyl Siding Contractor
Vinyl siding installation might not be rocket science, but it does take years of experience to learn the precision needed to make all the fine details fit together just so. And more importantly, the house wrap and flashing work that really protects your house from the elements can cause major damage if not done with care and expertise.
When you choose the Blue Jay team, you never have to worry about details slipping through the cracks.
Not only do we go the distance to ensure that every aspect of your vinyl siding renovation is done correctly, we also promise that no other contractor in Edmonton will work as hard as Blue Jay to make the entire process as stress-free as humanly possible.
Exterior Renovations (It’s All We Do)
If you punch “vinyl siding contractors near me” into Google, you’ll find dozens (and dozens) of companies listed. All of these contractors claim to have “experienced teams” and “solid warranties”, so what’s different about Blue Jay?
There’s lots of companies that work mostly on new build siding, installing on hundreds of homes for builders that care more about speed and the lowest possible price than they do about quality. And there’s plenty of renovation companies that mostly do roofing, and subcontract the odd siding job that they get.
But Blue Jay is Edmonton’s only true exterior renovation specialist.
Our renovation focus has allowed us to build a business that takes care of the needs of individual homeowners, not big faceless corporations. And since no two siding renovations are ever exactly the same, our people have learned to be a team of flexible, problem solving siding experts, that always keeps our clients informed, every step of the way.
Proof Before Pay. Always.
When was the last time you hired a tradesperson for anything? Did you get to experience a “Proof Before Pay” policy?
No?
We’re not surprised. It’s actually pretty unique!
At Blue Jay Exterior Renovations, we promise to deliver stress-free siding renovations to our clients. A major piece of this promise is the way we structure our payment terms. We’ve created a 3-step payment system that favours the homeowner, and keeps you firmly in control of the entire renovation.
Detail Obsessed
New construction vinyl siding installations are usually pretty simple: the contractor just has to follow the plans they’re given (kind of like a “colour by numbers” worksheet from elementary school). And since the builder only really cares if their house passes the building code inspection before it sells, they’re not going to complain if the vinyl Jtrims aren’t cut all that cleanly. It still “meets code”, doesn’t it?
Siding renovations are a totally different ballgame. Not only are our projects more complicated because of decades of families actually living in the homes, we also have to deal with an important person that a new build contractor never meets. The actual homeowner! That’s why we send a site supervisor to visit every active project, every single day: to make sure that each project is held to the same exacting standard, and make sure that we deliver exactly what the client wants, every time.
When we complete a vinyl siding renovation, we’re meticulous about every panel, every nail, and every single square inch of your new exterior.
Communication Is Key
A lot of things can happen during a vinyl siding renovation. Days of rain can keep the jobsites idle, or rot damage might be discovered, and sometimes we even find massive ant infestations in the walls! Delays can arise when least expected, throwing even the best-laid plans into a complete jumble.
A small delay might not be that big of a deal on its own: but your contractor forgetting (or “forgetting”) to share important information with you can turn a minor issue into an uncomfortable and stressful situation. And if you’ve ever hired a contractor for any type of home renovation before, you probably already know that contractors aren’t usually amazing at communication.
So on the one hand, you have complicated projects with a high likelihood of surprises. And on the other hand, you have an industry notorious for poor communication.
When we started Blue Jay Exterior Renovations in 2017, we were determined to be different. Since day one, we’ve made open, clear, and honest communication part of our company’s DNA. If you give us a call, we’ll answer. If you send us an email, you’ll get a response that’s prompt and professional.
So, no matter where we’re at with your renovation, you’ll always know exactly what’s going on.
Our Word Is Our Bond
Anytime you hire a contractor, part of you wonders if everything they said during the quote process was true. Do they actually have experienced installers, satisfied customers, and a great reputation? Or is it all just smoke and mirrors?
If you ask about Blue Jay around the Edmonton area, you’ll hear a few common words: reliable, honest, and trustworthy.

This means accurate quotes that are 100% guaranteed to be on budget, complete warranty coverage that takes care of both materials and workmanship, and most importantly, open & transparent communication every step of the way.

An average vinyl siding renovation will usually take between 1 to 2 weeks. A larger home can be 3 to 4 weeks, and a simple front façade replacement can sometimes be done in as little as a day or two.
How Much Does A Vinyl Siding Renovation Cost?
