However, some municipalities (including Toronto) require a building renovator licence for exterior cladding work. Building permits may be required for re-siding, especially if the existing siding is being removed and replaced rather than covered. WSIB coverage is recommended for contractors working at heights. The Ontario Building Code specifies requirements for moisture barriers, air barriers, and insulation behind siding.
