Metal Cladding, Siding & Building Envelope — Your Northern Experts
A roof is only half the envelope. Unico Contractors finishes the job with durable metal cladding, siding and a complete building-envelope system that stands up to Arctic wind, snow and temperature swings — protecting and modernizing buildings across Yellowknife and the NWT since 1984.
The complete building envelope
We build the whole envelope as one integrated system — every layer working together to keep your building dry, warm and protected:
- Underlayment
- Waterproofing
- Insulation (installed as part of the roofing and envelope assembly)
- Architectural finish — metal cladding, MBM (modified bitumen membrane), shingles and more
Cladding & siding services
- Metal siding — commercial and residential
- Metal soffit & flashing
- Architectural cladding for new builds and retrofits
- Building envelope upgrades to cut heat loss in Northern climates
Why it matters in the North
The right envelope keeps water and wind out, improves insulation, and dramatically extends the life of your building — critical when heating costs and weather are this extreme.
Service area: Yellowknife, Dettah, Ndilǫ and communities within ~300 km — including Behchokǫ̀, Hay River, Fort Providence and Lutselk’e.
