Protect & Maintain Your Siding in Fredericton: Tips for Homeowners in NB

Posted on May 15, 2025

Your siding plays a major role in protecting your home from Fredericton’s ever-changing weather. From harsh winter snow and ice to humid summers and heavy rainfall, your siding takes a beating. Whether you live in New Maryland, Hanwell, Oromocto, or central Fredericton, regular maintenance is essential for both curb appeal and long-term durability.

At CertaPro Painters® of Fredericton, we understand the impact New Brunswick’s climate has on local homes. Here are our top siding care tips to help you keep your home looking great all year long.

Inspect Your Siding Seasonally

In Fredericton, each season brings its own challenges. Snow, ice, and salt in winter. UV rays and moisture in summer. That’s why we recommend inspecting your siding at least twice a year—ideally in early spring and late fall.

Look for signs of damage like cracks, warping, loose panels, or mildew. Homes in rural areas like Lincoln or wooded spots in Hanwell may also be prone to mould or pest issues. Addressing problems early can prevent costly repairs later.

Clean Your Siding Once a Year

Fredericton’s mix of urban and wooded areas means homes can collect everything from tree sap to airborne grime and pollen. We recommend cleaning your siding at least once a year—more often if your home is shaded or near high-traffic roads.

Use a soft-bristled brush or sponge with mild detergent and a garden hose. For tougher buildup, a power washer on a low setting can help. Avoid blasting water under the siding, which could lead to trapped moisture and mould.

Repair Damage Quickly

Don’t let small cracks or holes sit untreated. In New Brunswick’s freeze-thaw cycles, water can get into damaged areas, freeze, and expand—leading to more serious issues. Minor caulking or paint touch-ups can prevent long-term damage.

For more extensive damage, call in the professionals. At CertaPro Painters® of Fredericton, we offer expert siding repairs and painting services that are designed to stand up to our local climate.
