Vinyl siding has been around for decades — but modern Mitten vinyl siding is a completely different game. Today’s vinyl is engineered, durable, impact-resistant, fade-resistant, and built to withstand BC’s wet climate far better than older generations. But here’s the hard truth: Most vinyl siding failures aren’t material failures — they’re installation failures. Loose panels. Crooked laps. Wavy walls. Missing trims. Poor moisture management.
BC is full of homes suffering from cheap vinyl installations performed by “siding guys” who learned on YouTube. That’s why XP dominates the vinyl siding category. We don’t install vinyl like amateurs. We install vinyl like building-envelope engineers. Vinyl siding seems simple — until it isn’t. It expands, contracts, moves, and behaves differently depending on weather, fastening, and wall prep. Other contractors guess. XP calculates.
1. Mitten Vinyl + XP Craftsmanship = Zero-Wave Perfection Wavy vinyl is the #1 sign of a bad installer.
It happens when:
panels are over-nailed
walls aren’t straight
starter strips are uneven
J-trim isn’t structured properly
XP prevents all of it with:
✔️ laser-leveled starter strips
✔️ perfectly spaced fasteners
✔️ pressure-tested rainscreen strapping
✔️ flawless trim transitions
✔️ strict QC at every stage
This is why XP vinyl installs look flat, tight, and architecturally clean — not like the rippled messes you see in so many BC neighbourhoods.
2. We Install Mitten Because It’s the Best Vinyl Siding in Canada Mitten is engineered specifically for Canada’s climate, and BC’s wet environment demands: Impact-resistant panels Superior UV fade protection Weather-locking systems Deep, rich colour selections It’s lightweight, cost-effective, and surprisingly stylish when installed by a detail-obsessed team. XP doesn’t just slap up panels. We build long-lasting exteriors that stay straight and beautiful for decades.
