City Centre is changing fast. Between the towers, Whalley still holds blocks of post-war houses. Their siding is original or close to it. Mi Casa Exteriors is a siding contractor working across Whalley and City Centre, from the streets around Holland Park to the homes north of Surrey Central. In-house crews, zero deposit, and a 25-year workmanship warranty.
The post-war and 1960s homes here predate every modern envelope standard. No rainscreen. Minimal flashing. Often several layers of siding stacked over the decades. When these walls fail, they fail deep. Our approach is to open the wall properly, deal with what is underneath, and rebuild it to current standards. A full siding replacement on a home this age usually includes sheathing repairs and a new rainscreen. The BC Building Code has required rainscreens in coastal areas since 2006.
One note on age: WorkSafeBC says homeowners need the house tested for asbestos before a renovation, and nearly every original Whalley home is old enough to likely contain some. Here’s how asbestos testing fits into a siding project.
Land values here push many owners to renovate rather than move. New siding and fresh exterior trim change how a small older home reads from the street. Holding the house with the suite rented out? See how to re-side with a tenant living downstairs. Selling soon? We give straight advice. Sometimes a repair is all the home needs, and we will say so.
Our own in-house crews do every job, never subcontractors. Written fixed quotes. Zero deposit, and no final payment until you are satisfied. The 25-year workmanship warranty is signed by the company and the installer. Mi Casa Exteriors holds WorkSafeBC clearance C136733062, carries 2 million dollars in liability insurance, and is BBB accredited. Our Surrey shop is about 20 minutes away.
