Most Popular Siding Styles

We know there are many options to choose from when it comes to siding, and we are here in Calgary to help you with those decisions. Listed below, you will see a few of the most popular and widely used design options for residential homes.

Lap Siding

One of the most widely used choices for single-family home renovations, offering a traditional and timeless look. Siding plank can be found on more than 80% of the homes with the siding installed over the past couple of decades.

Needless to say, it is still a very much popular option until this day. Planks are usually produced from wood (either cedar or hemlock), fiber cement, vinyl or aluminum. Siding planks can be installed horizontally or vertically or in a combination of both.

Shingles and Shakes

Siding Shingles (also referred to as shake siding) are another popular option, usually either in combination with the siding planks or on their own. Mostly used on feature walls and gables, this siding design adds character and warmth to the entire house.

Installing shingles on the whole house will add refinement to a rustic style of cottage or ranch home. Siding shingles are manufactured from fiber cement, cedar, or vinyl.

Siding Panels

If you are looking for a contemporary look with minimalistic features, this siding style is for you. Siding Panels have gotten more recognition over the past few years as innovative technologies have taken the siding industry by the storm.

Siding panels have either a smooth texture offering a sleek finish or a cedarmill texture that mimics the look of natural cedar. Panels are usually sized and cut on-site to ensure the perfect fit and can be installed either horizontally or vertically. Some of the most common profiles are Board and Batten, Easy Trim Reveal, and Open Joint Cladding.

Average Cost of Siding Renovation

Every house has unique characteristics and designs, which will determine the final price for your siding project. Illustrated below are some of the approximate calculations based on the average single-family house in Calgary:

• Replacing your old siding with vinyl will cost you from $8.50 to $9.50 per sq ft. Considering the square footage of the house is 1,800 sq ft, you might be paying around $15,300 – 17,100. Vinyl siding is the most budget-friendly option due to the lower installation costs and inexpensive material.
• One of the most popular siding materials as of recently, the James Hardie board, will cost from $11.50 to $12.75 per sq ft. For the same size house, the price of the re-siding project will come up to approximately $20,700 – $22,950 for the entire house.
• Cedar siding has been widely used in exterior siding for many years, and it is still one of the favourites amongst homeowners in Calgary. Due to the manufacturing costs and availability, cedar siding comes with a steeper price tag. It costs around $13.00 – $15.00, not including staining or painting costs. The cost of replacing old siding with cedar would come up to $23,400 – $27,000 for a 1,800 sq ft house.

Below you will see the approximate cost per square foot for a few most commonly used types of siding, so you can have an idea of how much your renovation project might cost based on the materials used:
