Out in the Indian Mountain area near Moncton, we've been giving a home a complete exterior makeover — wrapping it in sleek black siding and topping it off with a brand-new roof. It's the kind of project that changes a house's entire character, and the before-and-after speaks for itself.
Before and after
Here's where we started — the home stripped back and ready for its new exterior:
And here it is nearing completion — black siding installed, new roof on, with just a small section of siding left to finish:
A full exterior upgrade in the Indian Mountain area: new roofing and modern black siding, installed as one coordinated job so the roof and walls tie together cleanly and the home is weather-tight from top to bottom.
Why tackle siding and roofing together
Roofing and siding meet at the most important line on the whole house — the top of the wall, where the roof edge, drip edge, and flashing all come together. When the two are done as one project, that transition is detailed as a single, continuous water-management system instead of two separate jobs that have to meet up after the fact.
Doing both at once also means the staging and crew are already on site, the house gets sealed up in one push, and you get a clean, cohesive result rather than a patchwork of finishes. For a homeowner, it's less disruption and one weather-tight envelope at the end of it. You can see what goes into the roofing half of that on our roofing services page.
Why black siding works
Black exteriors have become one of the most popular looks in New Brunswick for good reason — they're bold, modern, and timeless all at once. A few things make the difference between black siding that looks incredible for years and black siding that disappoints:
- Fade-resistant, climate-rated product — dark colours show fading more than light ones, so the material has to be built to hold its colour through NB sun and freeze-thaw.
- Proper house wrap and ventilation behind it — a siding job is only as good as the weather barrier and air gap underneath it.
- Crisp trim and flashing details — around windows, doors, corners, and the roofline, where clean lines make a black exterior look sharp instead of busy.
Get those right and you end up with the dramatic, high-contrast look this Indian Mountain home now has — paired with a new roof that protects it for decades.

Frequently asked questions
Why do siding and roofing at the same time?
Doing both together means the roof edge, drip edge, and the top of the wall are detailed as one continuous water-management system instead of two jobs that meet awkwardly. The staging and crew are already on site, so the whole exterior ties in cleanly and the home is weather-tight in a single project.
Is black siding a good choice in New Brunswick?
Black siding looks sharp and modern, and quality fade-resistant products hold their colour well through NB's sun and freeze-thaw cycles. The keys are choosing a siding rated for our climate, installing it over proper house wrap and ventilation, and detailing the trim and flashing correctly.
