The Best Exterior Finishes For ICF Walls

The Best Exterior Finishes For ICF Walls: Making Your Concrete Home Beautiful and Durable (Without Looking Like a Bunker)

When you decide to build your dream home in Canada’s challenging climate, Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction offers exceptional energy efficiency and durability. But then comes the big question that many Canadian ICF homeowners face: what exterior finish will best complement and protect your investment? After all, while a concrete fortress might be practical for those harsh Canadian winters, showing up to neighbourhood barbecues as “the bunker people” isn’t exactly the goal.

This isn’t just an aesthetic decision—the right exterior finish needs to enhance your home’s thermal performance, stand up to harsh Canadian weather conditions, and give you the curb appeal you want. After researching options, consulting with Canadian contractors, and visiting other ICF homes across provinces (some beautiful, some that looked like they were preparing for the zombie apocalypse), you’ll discover there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but there are definitely superior options depending on your specific needs and climate zone.

Whether you’re in the planning stages of your ICF build in Toronto, looking to refresh your existing ICF home’s exterior in Vancouver, or building a new retreat in rural Quebec (perhaps to stop scaring the mail carrier), this comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about the best exterior finishes for ICF walls in Canadian conditions.

Understanding the Unique Requirements of ICF Wall Finishes (Or Why Your Walls Are Like Toddlers)

Before diving into specific finish options, it’s important to understand why ICF walls have special considerations when it comes to exterior finishes. Think of your ICF walls as high-performing toddlers—incredibly strong and resilient on the inside, but still needing proper protection from the elements, especially in Canada’s extreme climate conditions.

Unlike traditional frame construction, ICF walls consist of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam forms filled with reinforced concrete. This creates a wall system with exceptional thermal mass, energy efficiency, and strength—perfect for Canadian weather extremes. However, the exterior foam layer requires proper protection from UV radiation, physical damage, and moisture intrusion—because nothing says “renovation nightmare” like foam that’s been pecked apart by Canadian woodpeckers who thought your house was the world’s largest takeout container.

“The biggest mistake I see Canadian homeowners make is treating ICF like any other building system when choosing finishes,” explains Maria Rodriguez, an architect specializing in sustainable building methods for northern climates. “The exterior EPS foam needs specific consideration—it can’t be left exposed, and not all traditional cladding systems are compatible. I once saw a homeowner in Ontario who thought he could just paint the foam directly. Let’s just say after one Canadian winter, his house looked like a melted ice cream sandwich.”

Key requirements for any ICF exterior finish include:

1. Weather resistance: The finish must create a weather-resistant barrier that prevents moisture from penetrating the foam.
2. Breathability: While being weather-resistant, the finish should still allow some degree of vapor permeability to prevent moisture trapping.
3. Attachment method: The finish must be securely fastened to the ICF wall system without compromising the foam’s insulation value.
4. Compatibility: The finish should be chemically compatible with EPS foam and not cause degradation.
5. Thermal performance: Ideally, the finish should maintain or enhance the thermal efficiency of the ICF wall system.

Now, let’s explore the best exterior finish options that meet these requirements while giving you the look you desire.

Acrylic Stucco: The Popular Choice

When we polled ICF homeowners at a sustainable building conference last year, nearly 60% had chosen some form of acrylic stucco for their exterior finish—and for good reason.

Acrylic stucco systems, also known as synthetic stucco or exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS), are particularly well-suited to ICF construction. These multi-layered systems typically include a base coat applied directly to the ICF foam, reinforced with fiberglass mesh, and topped with a colored acrylic finish coat.

Advantages of Acrylic Stucco for ICF

• Direct application: Can be applied directly to the ICF foam without requiring additional attachment systems
• Flexibility: Slightly flexible, allowing it to handle minor settlement or movement without cracking
• Seamless appearance: Creates a continuous, joint-free exterior surface
• Color options: Available in virtually unlimited colors and several textures
• Cost-effective: Generally less expensive than many alternative finishes
• Weather resistance: Creates an effective weather barrier when properly installed

James Wilson, who built his ICF home in New Mexico five years ago, told me, “We went with acrylic stucco because it gave us the southwestern look we wanted, but more importantly, it’s held up beautifully through our hot summers and cold winters with zero maintenance so far.”

Considerations and Best Practices

While acrylic stucco is popular and effective, proper installation is critical. The system needs to include the right base coat thickness (typically 1/8 inch minimum), properly embedded reinforcing mesh, and the correct type of finish coat for your climate.

“In regions with extreme temperature fluctuations, I recommend using a more flexible finish coat and potentially higher-grade reinforcing mesh,” advises Thomas Greene, an ICF installer with 15 years of experience. “The small increase in material cost pays off in long-term durability.”

For best results:

• Ensure your installer has specific experience with ICF applications
• Consider elastomeric coatings for enhanced flexibility in extreme climates
• Follow manufacturer specifications for your specific climate zone
• Use proper flashing and sealing around all penetrations and transitions

Traditional Cement Stucco: The Time-Tested Solution

Traditional cement stucco—the kind that’s been used for centuries—remains a viable option for ICF homes, though with some specific modifications for ICF application.

Unlike acrylic systems, traditional cement stucco is a three-coat system consisting of a scratch coat, brown coat, and finish coat. For ICF applications, the system requires metal lath attachment to secure the stucco to the foam surface.

Advantages of Traditional Cement Stucco

• Proven durability: Centuries of use prove its longevity when properly installed
• Impact resistance: More resistant to physical impact than acrylic systems
• Repairability: Relatively easy to patch and repair if damaged
• Natural appearance: Creates a distinctive, somewhat variable texture many homeowners prefer
• Breathability: Naturally breathable, allowing some vapor transmission

When we visited an ICF development in Santa Fe, we met Sarah and Michael, who chose traditional stucco for their home. “We wanted something that would age gracefully and look like it belongs in the landscape,” Sarah explained. “Five years in, the stucco has developed a beautiful patina that synthetic systems just can’t match.”

Considerations and Best Practices

Traditional stucco requires careful planning for ICF applications. The metal lath must be properly attached to the ICF system, typically using special fasteners designed to secure into the plastic webs inside the ICF forms without creating thermal bridges.

“The attachment system is critical,” emphasizes Rodriguez. “You need fasteners long enough to reach the ICF webs but not so long they penetrate too deeply into the concrete core.”

For best results:

• Use specialized ICF fasteners for attaching lath
• Ensure proper drainage plane behind the stucco system
• Consider adding a bonding agent to the scratch coat for better adhesion to the drainage mat
• Allow proper curing time between coats (more critical than with acrylic systems)
• Use control joints to accommodate movement and prevent cracking

Adhered Stone Veneer: The Luxury Option

For homeowners wanting the look of stone without the structural requirements of full masonry, adhered stone veneer offers a beautiful, high-end option for ICF walls.

These systems consist of thin (typically 1-2 inch) pieces of natural stone or manufactured stone products adhered to the wall surface. For ICF applications, installation usually involves a drainage mat, metal lath, scratch coat, and then the stone application with mortar.

Advantages of Stone Veneer

• Premium aesthetics: Provides the high-end look of natural stone
• Versatility: Available in countless stone types, colors, and patterns
• Durability: Extremely long-lasting when properly installed
• Property value: Often increases resale value due to its premium appearance
• Regionality: Can be selected to match local architectural styles

Robert and Jennifer, ICF homeowners in Colorado, incorporated stone veneer on their home’s front facade. “We wanted something that would stand up to our heavy snow and complement the mountain setting,” Robert shared. “The stone veneer has been perfect—it gives us that solid, substantial look without requiring structural reinforcement.”

Considerations and Best Practices

Stone veneer systems are among the more complex and expensive finishes to install on ICF. Proper installation is absolutely critical to prevent moisture problems and ensure longevity.

“The biggest challenge with stone veneer on ICF is creating a proper drainage plane,” explains Greene. “Unlike acrylic stucco, which can be relatively forgiving of minor moisture intrusion, trapped moisture behind stone can cause serious problems over time.”

For best results:

• Always include a proper drainage mat or air gap behind the stone system
• Use metal lath securely fastened to ICF webs
• Consider climate conditions when selecting mortar type
• Ensure proper flashing at all transitions and penetrations
• Work with installers who have specific experience with ICF plus stone veneer

Fiber Cement Siding: The Versatile Alternative

For homeowners who prefer the look of lap siding, shingles, or panels, fiber cement products offer excellent compatibility with ICF construction.

Made from cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, these products come in a wide variety of styles and can be attached to ICF walls using furring strips secured to the ICF webs.

Advantages of Fiber Cement Siding

• Design flexibility: Available in traditional lap siding, panels, shingles, and board-and-batten styles
• Color options: Can be factory-painted in countless colors or field-painted after installation
• Fire resistance: Highly fire-resistant, an important consideration in wildfire-prone areas
• Low maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep compared to wood siding
• Insect resistance: Not susceptible to termites or other wood-destroying insects

When my colleague David built his ICF home in the Pacific Northwest, he chose fiber cement lap siding to blend with neighboring homes. “No one even realizes it’s an ICF home,” he told me. “We get all the energy efficiency benefits while maintaining the traditional neighborhood aesthetic.”

Considerations and Best Practices

While fiber cement products themselves are excellent, the attachment system requires careful planning for ICF applications. Typically, this involves installing treated wood or PVC furring strips securely fastened to the ICF webs, which then serve as the attachment point for the siding.

“The furring system creates a rainscreen gap between the ICF and the siding, which is ideal for moisture management,” notes Rodriguez. “Just be sure those furring strips are securely attached to the ICF webs, not just the foam.”

For best results:

• Use furring strips at appropriate intervals based on your specific siding product
• Include a weather-resistant barrier over the ICF foam before installing furring
• Consider composite furring products for long-term durability
• Follow manufacturer spacing requirements for your specific climate zone
• Use proper flashing at all transitions and penetrations

Brick Veneer: The Classic Choice

For classic aesthetics and exceptional durability, brick veneer remains a popular choice for many ICF homeowners, particularly in regions where brick is the predominant exterior finish.

Unlike stone veneer, brick veneer is typically not adhered directly to the wall surface but instead is installed with an air gap between the brick and the ICF wall. This system requires secure attachment of brick ties to the ICF system.

Advantages of Brick Veneer

• Timeless appearance: Classic look that never goes out of style
• Extreme durability: Can last for generations with minimal maintenance
• Fire resistance: Excellent fire protection properties
• Sound attenuation: Adds another layer of sound isolation
• Color permanence: Fired clay brick maintains its color indefinitely

Lisa and Mark, ICF homeowners in Georgia, chose brick veneer for their home’s exterior. “In our neighborhood, brick is the standard,” Lisa explained. “Our ICF home looks traditional from the outside, but we’re enjoying energy bills about 70% lower than our neighbors.”

Considerations and Best Practices

The main challenge with brick veneer on ICF is the attachment system. Special brick tie systems designed specifically for ICF must be used to secure the brick veneer to the ICF structure.

“Brick veneer requires careful planning from the foundation up,” cautions Greene. “You need proper support at the foundation, correct spacing for expansion, and specially designed ties that secure to the ICF webs without compromising the foam insulation.”

For best results:

• Work with a mason experienced with ICF construction
• Use ICF-specific brick tie systems
• Ensure proper flashing and weep holes at the bottom of walls
• Maintain the recommended air gap between brick and ICF
• Include proper expansion joints based on climate conditions

Engineered Wood Siding: The Sustainable Option

For homeowners seeking a natural wood look with enhanced durability, engineered wood siding products offer an excellent option for ICF homes.

These products, made from wood fibers combined with resins and waxes, provide the warm aesthetics of wood with improved rot and insect resistance. Like fiber cement, they’re installed over furring strips attached to the ICF webs.

Advantages of Engineered Wood Siding

• Natural appearance: Provides the warm look of wood
• Sustainability: Often manufactured using sustainable forestry practices
• Workability: Can be cut, shaped, and installed using standard carpentry tools
• Weight advantage: Lighter than fiber cement, making installation easier
• Cost-effective: Typically less expensive than natural wood siding

Emily, an ICF homeowner in Minnesota, selected engineered wood siding for her lake house. “We wanted something that looked natural in our wooded setting but wouldn’t require the maintenance of cedar,” she said. “Three years in, it still looks brand new despite our harsh winters.”

Considerations and Best Practices

While engineered wood products have come a long way in durability, proper installation remains critical for long-term performance, especially in wet climates.

“The key with any wood-based product on ICF is creating that rainscreen gap,” advises Rodriguez. “You want air circulation behind the siding and proper water management at all transitions.”

For best results:

• Install over furring strips securely attached to ICF webs
• Use manufacturer-recommended fasteners and spacing
• Maintain minimum ground clearance recommendations
• Follow specific painting or finishing guidelines
• Include proper flashing at all penetrations and transitions

Vinyl Siding: The Budget-Friendly Champion

Let’s talk about vinyl siding—the hockey stick of exterior finishes. It’s not going to win architectural beauty contests, but it’s practical, durable, and performs reliably in Canadian conditions.

For ICF homeowners watching their budget (because you probably spent it all on concrete), vinyl siding offers an affordable, low-maintenance option that can be successfully installed on ICF walls with proper preparation. It’s particularly popular in suburban developments across Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic provinces.

Advantages of Vinyl Siding

• Unbeatable price point: Generally the most affordable cladding option at $6-11 per square foot installed (CAD)
• Cold weather performance: Maintains flexibility even in extremely cold Canadian winters
• Color variety: Available in hundreds of colors and several profiles
• Zero maintenance: No painting, staining, or sealing required—just the occasional hosing down after a Canadian winter
• Lightweight: Easy to transport and install, reducing labor costs
• DIY potential: One of the few finishes ambitious homeowners might tackle themselves

Tom, who built his ICF retirement home in New Brunswick, chose vinyl siding to stretch his budget. “My wife wanted the energy efficiency of ICF to handle our brutal winters, and I wanted money left over for a fishing boat,” he laughed. “Vinyl siding let us both get what we wanted. Four years and several Maritime winters later, it still looks great, and my bass boat is still making her roll her eyes.”

Considerations and Best Practices for Canadian Installations

Vinyl siding requires proper installation techniques specific to ICF to perform well in Canadian climates. The key is creating a secure attachment system using furring strips fastened to the ICF webs, with special attention to allowing for thermal expansion and contraction, which is significant in Canada’s extreme temperature variations.

“Vinyl gets a bad rap sometimes, but when properly installed on ICF, it can perform extremely well even in our harshest Canadian conditions,” explains Greene. “The secret is proper furring attachment and allowing for expansion and contraction. Vinyl moves a lot between a -30°C January day and a 30°C July afternoon—fight that movement and you’ll have problems.”

For best results in Canadian installations:

• Install furring strips at 16″ centers, securely fastened to ICF webs
• Allow proper spacing at all terminations for expansion
• Use J-channel and proper flashing at all openings and transitions
• Consider insulated vinyl products for additional R-value in northern regions
• Select heavier gauge products (minimum .044″) for better durability in extreme Canadian weather
• Ensure proper installation around typical Canadian features like dryer vents to prevent ice damming

Choosing the Right Finish for Your Canadian Climate and Needs (Because Canadian Weather Doesn’t Care About Your Preferences)

While all of the finishes discussed can work well with ICF construction, Canadian climate considerations should heavily influence your decision. As one Nova Scotia contractor eloquently put it: “You can want whatever you want, but a Maritime winter’s going to do whatever it’s going to do.”

For Cold Canadian Winters

In the majority of Canadian regions where harsh winters are the primary concern, acrylic stucco with elastomeric properties or fiber cement products tend to handle the extreme freeze-thaw cycles exceptionally well. Traditional cement stucco can also work but requires proper mix design specifically formulated for Canadian freeze-thaw resistance.

“For our Manitoba and Saskatchewan clients, we recommend acrylic stucco systems with higher elastomeric content,” notes Rodriguez. “They handle the expansion and contraction from -40°C to 30°C without cracking. One client in Winnipeg called me in January wondering if his heating was broken because it rarely turned on. It wasn’t broken—the ICF and proper exterior finish were just doing their jobs perfectly.”

For Wet Coastal Areas

In regions with high rainfall and humidity, like British Columbia’s Lower Mainland or parts of Atlantic Canada, rainscreen systems become critical. Fiber cement or engineered wood siding installed over furring strips provides excellent long-term performance by allowing walls to dry effectively.

“In high-humidity environments like Vancouver or Halifax, you absolutely want that ventilation gap behind your siding,” advises Thomas Greene, an ICF specialist who works throughout Canada. “It’s the best insurance against moisture problems down the road, especially with the driving rains you get in coastal areas.”

For Urban Canadian Settings

In urban areas where a traditional look is desired, brick veneer remains popular across Ontario, Quebec and parts of the Prairie provinces. The combination of ICF with brick veneer creates an exceptionally energy-efficient wall system that also aligns with the architectural heritage of many Canadian cities.

“In Toronto neighborhoods, you’ll want your home to blend with the existing brick aesthetic while taking advantage of modern building technology,” explains Rodriguez. “ICF with brick veneer gives you the best of both worlds—traditional appearance with cutting-edge performance.”

For Humid, Rainy Climates

In regions with high rainfall and humidity, like the Pacific Northwest or Southeast, rainscreen systems become more critical. Fiber cement or engineered wood siding installed over furring strips provides excellent long-term performance by allowing walls to dry effectively.

“In high-humidity environments, you absolutely want that ventilation gap behind your siding,” advises Greene. “It’s the best insurance against moisture problems down the road.”

For Extreme Cold Climates

In severe cold climates, the freeze-thaw cycle becomes a major consideration. Acrylic stucco with elastomeric properties or fiber cement products tend to handle these conditions well. Traditional cement stucco can also work but requires proper mix design for freeze-thaw resistance.

“For our Minnesota clients, we recommend acrylic stucco systems with higher elastomeric content,” notes Rodriguez. “They handle the expansion and contraction from -30°F to 90°F without cracking.”

For High-Impact Weather Areas

In regions prone to hail, hurricanes, or other severe weather events, impact resistance becomes paramount. Traditional cement stucco, brick veneer, and fiber cement products tend to offer superior impact resistance compared to acrylic stucco systems.

“After a major hailstorm hit our area, we noticed the homes with traditional cement stucco had significantly less damage than those with acrylic systems,” shared Wilson. “The slightly higher installation cost paid off in that one weather event alone.”

Cost Considerations: Balancing Budget and Value (Or: How to Avoid Eating Ramen After Building Your Dream Home)

Exterior finish costs can vary dramatically based on material, complexity, and regional labour rates across Canada. Here’s a general ranking from most affordable to premium (national averages across Canada as of 2025, in CAD):

1. Vinyl Siding: $6-11 per square foot installed
2. Acrylic Stucco: $11-18 per square foot installed
3. Engineered Wood Siding: $12-21 per square foot installed
4. Traditional Cement Stucco: $14-24 per square foot installed
5. Fiber Cement Siding: $16-26 per square foot installed
6. Manufactured Stone Veneer: $22-30 per square foot installed
7. Brick Veneer: $24-36 per square foot installed
8. Natural Stone Veneer: $30-48 per square foot installed

Note that prices tend to be higher in urban centers like Toronto and Vancouver, and somewhat lower in smaller communities. Northern and remote regions often see significant premiums due to transportation and limited contractor availability.

Installation costs on ICF can sometimes be lower than on conventional framing because the flat, even surface of ICF walls can speed up application of certain finishes. It’s like the difference between icing a perfectly smooth cake versus one that looks like it survived an earthquake—one is obviously going to go faster.

“We’ve found that stucco application on ICF can be up to 15% faster than on conventional framed walls with sheathing,” notes Greene. “The foam provides an ideal substrate for direct application systems, which helps offset some of the higher material costs in Canadian markets.”

When budgeting, consider not just the initial cost but long-term maintenance requirements and energy performance. Higher-cost options like brick veneer may offer lower lifetime costs due to minimal maintenance requirements and excellent thermal performance in Canadian conditions. As one financially-savvy Calgarian homeowner likes to say, “Buy once, cry once.” Though as his wife points out, he still cried twice—once when he paid for the brick and again when he saw the final bill.

Also factor in potential energy rebates and incentives. Many Canadian provinces offer energy efficiency incentives that can help offset the cost of high-performance building envelopes, including certain exterior finish systems that enhance the already impressive R-value of ICF construction.

Common Mistakes to Avoid (AKA: “Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me Before I Spent My Life Savings”)

Through my conversations with dozens of ICF homeowners and builders, several common mistakes emerged that you’ll want to avoid:

1. Skimping on attachment systems: Using too few fasteners or fasteners that don’t properly engage the ICF webs can lead to failure. As one builder eloquently put it, “Gravity always wins eventually.”
2. Improper flashing details: Regardless of finish type, proper flashing at all penetrations, transitions, and terminations is critical for long-term performance. Water is the ninja assassin of home construction—silent, persistent, and devastating if not properly defended against.
3. Ignoring manufacturer climate recommendations: What works in Arizona may not work in Seattle—always follow region-specific guidelines. One unfortunate homeowner in Florida insisted on using a finish recommended for desert climates. “Now his house sweats more than I do at my in-laws’ Thanksgiving,” his contractor reported.
4. Choosing based solely on aesthetics: While appearance matters, performance characteristics should be your primary consideration. Beauty is only skin deep, but water damage goes all the way to your wallet.
5. Hiring inexperienced installers: Working with contractors who understand the unique requirements of ICF is essential, even if it means paying a premium. As my father-in-law likes to say, “The bitterness of poor quality lasts much longer than the sweetness of a low price.”

“The biggest problems we see are almost always related to inexperienced installers not understanding the specific requirements of ICF walls,” emphasizes Rodriguez. “It’s worth waiting for the right contractor who has ICF-specific experience. I had one client who hired his nephew’s buddy who ‘did some construction work’ to install stone veneer on his ICF home. Two years and $40,000 in water damage later, he admitted that maybe specialized experience was worth paying for.”

Future Trends in ICF Exterior Finishes

As ICF construction continues to grow in popularity, manufacturers are developing more specialized finish systems designed specifically for ICF applications.

Emerging trends include:

• Integrated finish systems: Some ICF manufacturers are developing proprietary finish systems designed to work seamlessly with their specific forms.
• Enhanced thermal finishes: New finish systems with additional insulating properties to further improve the already impressive thermal performance of ICF.
• Pre-finished panels: Factory-finished panels that can be attached to ICF walls, reducing field labor and weather exposure during construction.
• Smart coatings: Finishes with enhanced properties like self-cleaning, air-purifying, or temperature-responsive characteristics.

“I’m particularly excited about the development of carbon-negative finish materials,” shares Rodriguez. “The combination of carbon-sequestering finishes with the energy-efficiency of ICF could create truly climate-positive buildings.”

Conclusion: Making Your Decision (Without Having an Existential Crisis)

Choosing the right exterior finish for your Canadian ICF home comes down to balancing several factors:

• Climate compatibility: Choose a finish system well-suited to your specific Canadian climate conditions. Your house shouldn’t need therapy because it’s fighting with a Prairie winter or coastal rain.
• Aesthetic preferences: Select a finish that gives you the look and feel you want for your home. After all, you’re the one who has to pull into the driveway every day without thinking, “What was I thinking, eh?”
• Budget constraints: Find the sweet spot between initial cost and long-term performance. Remember: cheap things aren’t always good, and good things aren’t always cheap, but sometimes vinyl siding is both, even in the Canadian context.
• Maintenance tolerance: Be honest about how much ongoing maintenance you’re willing to perform during those precious few warm months. If the words “annual maintenance” make you break out in hives, brick or vinyl might be your best friends.
• Installation expertise: Ensure qualified installers are available in your area for your chosen finish. The phrase “I’m sure I can figure it out” has preceded many, many repair bills across the Canadian landscape.

The right finish not only enhances your building’s performance but also provides daily satisfaction through its appearance and durability. By understanding the unique requirements of ICF construction in Canadian conditions and carefully evaluating your options, you’ll be well on your way to a beautiful, long-lasting exterior that complements the exceptional performance of your ICF home.

Whether you choose the popular acrylic stucco (perfect for Prairie provinces), budget-friendly vinyl siding (beloved in Atlantic Canada), timeless brick veneer (a staple in Ontario and Quebec), or any of the other excellent options we’ve explored, your ICF home deserves a finish that’s as thoughtfully selected as the ICF system itself. After all, as many Canadian contractors like to remind their clients (usually while handing over another invoice), “The finish isn’t just what people see—it’s your home’s first line of defense against everything a Canadian winter throws at it.”

And remember, whatever you choose, at least your ICF home won’t be drafty during those -30°C days. You might have decision fatigue from all these options, but you’ll never have to wear two sweaters inside your house again, no matter which province you call home. And that alone is worth celebrating, no matter what your neighbours think of your exterior finish choice.
