What to watch on siding The Ontario Ministry of Congumer and Commercial Relations warns homeowners to know exactly what they want before con- tacting siding companies. Although aluminum is pop- ular, siding is also available in steel, vinyl and wood. If you're unsure about what to use, examine your reasons for wanting siding. For ex- ample, if you don't want to spend a lot of time on maintenance, choose a material that doesn't re- quire regular washing, pain- ting or staining. Most manufacturers publish pamphlets describ- ing their products. Write the companies or pick up copies at the local hardware or building supply store. Do- it-yourselfers can pick up ex- tra tips at the public library. It's important to shop around. Get at least three detailed written estimates that include a price breakdown for all the work: cost of siding, installation, labour, after-sales services and any additional work, such as installing new eavestroughing. Ask for references and check them out. Also check the companies' reputation through your local Chamber of Commerce and the Better Business Bureau. Make sure you understand a contract before signing it. Under The Consumer Protection Act, executory contracts (where the purchase price is over $50 and the delivery of goods or services is to take place at a future date) must include: • the names and addresses of buyer and seller; • a detailed description and itemized price list of goods and services; • a detailed statement of how you will pay for the work; • any guarantee or warranty on goods and services. Siding manufacturers usually guarantee their products against defects. Although they vary, most metal sidings carry a 20 - year warranty. Others are pro -rated so the amount the manufacturer will pay for the product's replacement decreases each year. In either case, the warranty doesn't cover defects caused by physical damage or mis- takes in application. You should also know what the guarantee on the finish covers. Some types of siding are not guaranteed against normal fading, chalking or pollution, the most frequent causes of siding damage. Other warranties require the owner to provide necessary maintenance when required to maintain warranty protection. Find out also if the warranty is tranferrable to a subsequent owner should you sell your home. For more information about siding write to the Consumer Information Cen- tre, Ontario Ministry of Con- sumer and Commercial Relations, 555 Yonge St., Toronto, Ont., M7A 2H6 and ask for a free pamphlet called: Siding: how to get your money's worth.
