About Us

Exceptional Workmanship, Experience, Competence and Dedication

Owner and founder Curtis Halme of Cowichan Valley Siding has been doing carpentry and siding installations for over two decades. Trained by some of the best tradesmen in the business. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge to draw on. Curtis started out working in his mid teens for his father, Stephen Halme, who ran Cloverdale Siding & Renovations in Surrey, BC for over forty years.

In his early twenties, Curtis was a member of the marine construction union 2404, a subsidiary of the International Brotherhood of Carpenters where he received and completed two years of training which included tickets like Rigging, Aerial Lift and Construction Fall Protection on top of the experience gained from working with some of the most qualified, safety oriented and experienced people in the world. After a time of amazing experiences in the union working on projects like the Annacis Island dock fire repair in 2015 and the G3 Grain Terminal construction in 2018, Curtis left the union to rejoin his father’s business.

Since then Curtis has learnt from the ocean of experience of his father who himself worked along side some of the most successful and experienced tradesmen in the industry. However, in 2023, his father retired and Curtis would go on to start his own exterior renovation business. Cowichan Valley Siding was created by Curtis shortly after moving to Vancouver Island and choosing the Cowichan Valley as the perfect place to live and start his business. Committed to the region and the people who live here Curtis wants to provide a service that is exceptional in it's quality while being affordable in it's prices.
