What affects siding replacement cost in Prince Edward Island

Prince Edward Island's low-lying open farmland offers no windbreak, so Gulf of St. Lawrence salt air and sustained sea wind scour every facade; the island's soft red-sandstone dust and salt accelerate fastener corrosion, making stainless hardware and sealed laps a near-necessity.
Most Prince Edward Island municipalities require a building permit for residential siding replacement pulled by the contractor; typical residential fees run $75–$250, usually with a final inspection. Prince Edward Island applies 15% Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) to siding materials.
