    A couple weeks ago, I called 401 Siding about a hole in my soffit. I knew it was a small job. The office reception took my name, number & address and said they would call me back that afternoon with an appt time for someone to come out …

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry for the frustration you experienced — you’re absolutely right that you should have received a call back, and we apologize for falling short. Your messages were clearly missed, and that’s not the level of communication or professionalism we aim to provide to anyone, regardless of job size. Small repairs like yours are just as important to us as larger projects, and you should have received a simple, timely update. We understand how disappointing this must have been, and we’re reviewing what happened so we can ensure this doesn’t occur again. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and are glad you were able to get the issue resolved, though we’re sorry it wasn’t with us this time. If you’re open to it, we’d welcome the chance to earn back your trust in the future.

    Tell your drivers to pay attention. I almost ran into the back of one of your trucks because the driver never signaled or checked his mirrors when he pulled out infront of me and stopped to go into the parking lot across the street.

    Chad, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're very sorry about your experience and take concerns about road safety seriously — both for our team and others on the road. We’d appreciate the opportunity to look into this further and address it directly with the driver involved. If you're comfortable, please send us a few more details (such as the location, time, and any identifying info about the vehicle) to info@401siding.ca. Your safety matters, and we truly value your feedback in helping us uphold high standards. – The 401 Siding Team

    Emailed the company twice, once off their webpage and another to the email address provided in contact info for quote of siding work. Zero responses, went with another company.

    I needed some done, not all. Schedule appointment but never approached. Got an email on the whole house. I took off work for nothing, Chris at 4pm never knocked on the door. Hey people deal locally!

    Reply from the business

    We're sorry to hear about the mix-up with your appointment. It sounds like there was a problem with our communication and service. We want to do better. Please let us know if we can make things right or answer any questions. We value all feedback as it helps us improve.

  • 5 out of 5Debbie and Larry Wilton10 months ago

    If we could give more stars to this lovely company we would. The asbestos/cement tile on our house fell off. 401 helped us find a great company to come and remove the cement tile and had us in a warm, dry (absolutely gorgeous) house within a very short time. Our colour choice was not standard, they made sure we got what we needed. Our wartime house gave them a challenge but did not beat them. Every single member of the team from quote to billing and especially our project manager Tyler and the amazing installation team were just incredibly kind, patient and caring. The work is beautiful and we know we are going to feel much warmer this winter. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate your hard work on this project .

Your project was truly special, and we’re glad we could help you find the perfect solution — from removing the old cement tile to installing your desired custom colour. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Tyler and the installation crew — they’ll be so pleased to know their hard work made such a positive impact.

    Absolutely am very happy with the evestrough 401 siding has done. The lift up downspout is a very nice touch. Couldn't find any garbage left behind. Perry kept us updated along the whole process as I wasn't there. Well done 401 siding!!! …

  • 4 out of 5Simon Hinchcliffea year ago

    Very helpful and responsive. Took lots of time to understand our needs and requirements. Very customer focused in developing a quote. In the end we decided not to proceed until we had a bigger job that needed doing. We would come back to 402 siding when we need work.

    Hi Simon, Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re really glad to hear you felt supported and understood throughout the quoting process — that’s exactly the experience we aim to provide.

  • 5 out of 5Jaclyn Dobinga year ago

    We had a great experience with 401 Siding. They installed soffit, fascia, and eavestrough on our 155-year-old home, and the results were excellent. From the initial quote to the final installation, their entire team was professional, honest, and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

  • 5 out of 5Robert Naish2 years ago

    Couldn't be happier with the transformation. It has given our 177 year old house new life and the team at 401 siding was so amazing to deal with every step of the way. Nice to deal with a company that was a one stop shop for all our exterior needs. Got a few quotes and 401 siding was by far the lowest.

    As a construction site super, Chris and his team only make my life easier. They show up when they say they are going to, the guys do good work and care about what they're doing, with attention to detail, and leave the site clean when they're done. Highly recommend.

    For all your exterior cladding needs, there is no one better than 401 Siding. They are extremely courteous, professional, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. I have never had one single project fall short in any capacity, and I cannot recommend them enough. From renovations, to repairs, to custom builds, they can fit any budget, timeline, and vision.

  • 5 out of 5Jeannette Vroom2 years ago

    We highly recommend 401 siding. Ryan had many good suggestions on how we could change our eavestroughs and downspouts, and Perry and Jordan did a superb job carrying these out. We are very happy with the quality of their work. They answered any questions we had and were conscientious about cleaning up. We would definitely use this company again.
