Question:

There is a piece of wood siding just above my family room window which is 3" high and 8'long. I am wondering where can I get a replacement in Ottawa.

Answer:

If it's an 'off' size you may have to have it milled for you and any company specializing in wood trim can do that.

In the interests of retaining credibility that I worked several decades to establish and in fairness to all, I don’t comment on various (building, electrical, plumbing) codes, brand-specific products, recommend prices, people nor companies for various projects.

Remember, even if you don’t do your own work around the house have to hire someone, you put yourself at a great advantage when you can intelligently discuss a project with the various trades people.
