Shawn is most likely the name you heard when someone referred you to Sider Bros. Builders. Shawn is the first face you'll meet and the last person to meticulously review every detail of your home, ensuring every square inch meets and exceeds his standards before we welcome you home. Shawn leads client and trade relations, permitting, budgets and oversees day-to-day site operations to ensure a seamless build process and impeccable quality.
The Sider Bros were recommended to us when we were looking to renovate and expand the footprint of our home. After doing a fantastic job on our home, we hired them again a few years later to tear down and rebuild our garage and the attached apartment. Their fine craftsmanship and attention to detail are some of the greatest attributes you obtain when working with the Sider Bros.
This Lake Erie dream home was inspired by all-things Nantucket, from the wood shaker shingles on the exterior to the natural stone and wood elements infused throughout the interior. This custom home was designed around family-living, with enough space for everyone to gather and a few private retreats to hide away.
This grand home boasts custom finishes around every corner. Primary spaces and transitional rooms were carefully considered and meticulously designed to maximize form and function. A showcase of our finest millwork, this home features many of our sought-after finishes including beadboard, shiplap, coffered and v-match ceilings, and custom cabinetry throughout.
Gorgeous lakefront views are the focal point of every room in this custom home; views which inspired the homeowners to bring tasteful nautical influences indoors. A custom, lighthouse newel post, complete with nautical lamp, is a surprising highlight as you make the turn up a light and bright, wood-planked staircase.

Shawn Sider and the team at Sider Bros. do extraordinary work. They finished our basement and remodeled our kitchen and living room, and we could not be more pleased with the experience and the finished product. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship is without peer. Apart from the work they perform themselves, they have terrific relationships with an array of talented and dependable suppliers and tradespeople. We would recommend them without hesitation and intend to use them for our next home improvement project.

Sider Bros. built our cottage for us on Lake Erie. After a year and a half of interviewing builders we settled on Shawn Sider and crew. The quality of their work is impeccable. We decided on a budget as well as a start date and end date and all were met. Our cottage is roughly 5000 square feet and as we live in Utah we knew we couldn’t be on the job site very often. In the 10 months it took Sider Bros. to build our cottage we only visited the job site twice. All of Shawn’s contractors were outstanding. Shawn demands perfection and it shows in the quality of their work. Shawn is a problem solver

We are so happy with our beach house renovation! Shawn was sensational from beginning to end. This is a beach house that is shared by 5 families so there were many opinions flying around. Shawn helped guide us through the confusion. The quality of Sider Brothers work is the best I’ve seen! Every inch is pristine! Custom custom custom! Everyone who comes to the beach house just says “Wow!”

Shawn Sider patiently guided me through the process of building my home. He is committed to delivering exceptional quality and gives careful consideration to every aspect of the project. Shawn is meticulous and genuinely cares that the customer is satisfied with the outcome. The same attention to detail is evident in work completed by Sider Bros. employees on site and in their woodworking shop, which produced all my cabinetry and interior trim. Throughout the build, it became apparent Sider Bros. is so highly reputable as a custom home builder for good reason. I look forward to many years in the

We worked with Shawn Sider and everyone in the Sider Bros team on a major renovation of our 90-year-old cottage. All of the repairs and updates were completed meticulously to every inch of the house, inside and out. What sets Sider Bros apart, however, was their ability to ensure the changes were in keeping with the character and history of the house. At every stage, Sider Bros understood and championed this project with extraordinary craftsmanship, professionalism, and creativity – from concept and design, to implementation and completion. We spent a lot of time working together, and we would

Prior to commencement of our project to tear down an existing cottage and replace it with a new build,we interviewed quite a number of construction contractors .My wife and I were not impressed and didn't like any of them,until we met Shawn Sider. We were very impressed with him and took an instant liking to him.It turned out that we were right.
Although Sider Bros. are a bit more expensive than their competitors,they are worth every extra cent.The trades Shawn used are very skilled and did a great job.They all really cared about the results of their work .In fact ,they were so good,that pursuant

We are very pleased with Sider Brothers extensive restoration of our Victorian lake house. There were many unique construction challenges associated with the restoration and Shawn always came up with excellent solutions.
Several different crews worked on the project and they have all been very pleasant, efficient, flexible, and honest. When working inside the house, they were very considerate.
Sider Brothers' work is always very high quality and we would highly recommend them.

35 Years ago Lorry and I purchased a summer home on the Canadian Lakeshore. It was a 70 year old home that was indeed a "Fixer upper". At that time we decided to start a renovation and our architect suggested we contact Sider Brothers. Carlton and Leonard soon came on board as our contractors. I remember Carlton often bringing his youngest son Shawn, to assist his him and his brother Wayne tin helping us with normal maintenance on our lawn. In over 35 years the Sider Brothers have been the only contractor we have ever used. Besides our own home, they have built our pool, pool house, our son's house

When my wife and I thought about taking down our old house on Lake Erie in Ontario, that had been in my family for a century and building a new one, we were a bit nervous. We had never built a home; always redid existing ones. The first builder we asked to come and give us ideas was Sider Bros. They have a great reputation in the area of Ontario where we spend our summers. Sean Sider came over and gave us his opinion on rebuild versus redoing.He then took us to see some homes that he had built. After seeing the quality in these homes, we looked no further. From the planning and design process with
