Siding Contractors in Burford, Ontario
Exterior work across Burford village and the surrounding township, where open ground means real wind exposure.
Brantford Siding Co works across Burford village and out into the surrounding township.
Village lots and farm parcels
Burford is two jobs in one. The village core sits at the intersection of Maple Avenue and King Street, which is Highway 53, and holds 19th and early 20th-century buildings on ordinary village lots. The west wing of the former Fritzley residence at 195 King Street was built around 1815 as an inn, with an eastern addition between 1835 and 1848 that served as a general store and cobbler’s shop. The Post Office at 126 King Street went up in 1915 and 1916 and was restored in 2010 and 2011. The Armoury dates from 1906.
Outside the village is farmland, and that is a different kind of work. Properties out here run to well over a hundred acres with grain bins, equipment warehouses and storage buildings alongside the house, and there are equestrian operations with stable barns and indoor arenas. All of that gets clad, and outbuildings have their own priorities.
The wind is the thing here
Burford is a genuinely exposed place. It sits within southwestern Ontario’s Carolinian zone on what was historically one of the province’s largest prairie areas, which is to say open ground with little to break the weather. That exposure is the single most important local factor for an exterior.
Wind loading changes what a correct installation looks like. Fastener spacing tightens, every course has to be fully locked into the one below rather than nearly locked, and the choice of profile matters more than it does on a sheltered lot. Most wind failures we see did not begin as material failures. They began as one panel that was not properly engaged, which lifted, and then took its neighbours with it.
An old settlement
Burford is one of the oldest centres of European settlement in the interior of southwestern Ontario and the oldest settled community in the County of Brant, founded in 1793 when Lieutenant-Governor Simcoe granted the entire township to Abraham Dayton, a farmer and miller from Connecticut. By the spring of 1797 there were twenty-one families. The route through the village, now Highway 53, was an inland trail before 1640 and later carried military traffic during the War of 1812.
Today Burford is one of three County of Brant service hubs alongside Paris and St. George, and the 2021 census recorded 1,058 residents in the population centre itself.

Siding Questions from Burford Homeowners
Do you work on farm buildings as well as houses?
Yes. Burford Township is working farmland, and a lot of what needs cladding out here is not a house: equipment warehouses, storage buildings, stable barns and workshops. Outbuildings have different priorities from a home, usually durability and wind resistance over appearance, and they are quoted accordingly.
Does wind exposure change how you install siding here?
It does. Burford sits on what was once one of Ontario's largest prairie areas, and open ground means wind loading that a sheltered town lot never sees. That affects fastener spacing, how carefully each course is locked in, and which profiles are sensible. A panel that is fine in a subdivision can be marginal on an exposed field edge.
How old is the housing stock in Burford?
It varies widely. The village has 19th-century architecture including buildings like the former Fritzley residence on King Street, whose west wing dates to about 1815 as an inn. The Post Office on King Street was built in 1915 and 1916. Around that sit farm properties and later village housing of every era.
How far out do you go?
Across the old township, which before the 1999 amalgamation covered over 287 square kilometres and included Cathcart, Harley and Princeton. Burford village itself is about 8 km west of Brantford on Highway 53.
