Siding Types And Styles We Offer

Our siding is available in a vast array of materials, colours and styles. The choice of materials includes vinyl, cedar, aluminum, fiber cement and engineered wood. Each type of style – planks, panels, and shingles – is available in at least one, if not all, of the materials. And each type has its pros and cons.

So how do you navigate all the options? It’s easy when you work with a professional:

1. Vinyl siding is by far the most popular option, particularly because it is the least expensive, as well as durable, attractive and easy to maintain. It’s a great choice for protecting your home, and the investment you made in it. It offers the beauty of wood siding, without the possibility of fading, peeling or rotting.
2. Cedar siding sets the standard for luxury, beauty and warmth, and is eco-friendly, but requires more maintenance than its man-made counterparts.
3. Aluminum siding is lightweight, durable and attractive. It is a great choice for contemporary homes. Available in a solid finish or made to resemble natural wood, it is resistant to moisture, mould and pests.
4. James Hardie® siding is a fiber cement siding made from cement, sand, cellulose fibers, and water. Both durable and attractive, it is supplied in long, horizontal strips, just like wood lap siding. It can be made to mimic virtually any siding material, such as wood lap boards, stucco panels and wood shakes.
5. Engineered wood siding is made from recycled wood content or leftover lumber materials, so it is considered eco-friendly. Consisting of wood fibers bound with resin and wax, it is stronger than natural wood, while equally as beautiful. It can be pre-stained to any colour, and is durable and easy to install and maintain.

Here are some of the most common style options so you can start thinking about what design is right for your home.

Lap Siding

The most popular in Canada is plank siding due to its low cost and ease of maintenance. It can be installed horizontally or vertically depending on your design plan. This option puts a frame around the outside of your house, defining the edges and lines and making your house pop.

Siding Panels

Siding panels can be installed horizontally or vertically based on your design plan. They are typically found in homes with a contemporary, minimalist look. Available in a smooth or cedar mill texture, the panels are cut on-site to ensure they match the design of your home.

Shingles and Shakes

Shingles are the ideal choice if you are looking for a natural, rustic look. Their distinctive shadow lines add contrast and depth to a home’s exterior, creating a sense of coziness and warmth.

While siding shingles were traditionally made from cedar, they are now available in a wider choice of materials. Advances in technology have resulted in fiber cement shingles that mimic wood, but are less expensive and require less maintenance.

How Much Does the Siding Cost?

The cost of your siding project depends on several factors, including the cost of the material you choose, as well as the current condition of your house. We may have to demolish old material and remove construction waste removal and install trim boards, soffits, and fascia boards.

Most homeowners choose James Hardie®, because, in addition to being durable and easy to maintain, it is the most cost-effective option. Cedar siding is invariably the most expensive, and vinyl is the cheapest. Regardless of which you choose, we give you a final price before the job begins to help you make an informed choice:

• Vinyl siding. Easy to install, vinyl siding costs approximately $10 – 12 per sq. ft. Installing vinyl siding on a 1500 sq. ft. house, which is the average home size in Ontario, will cost between $15,000 and $18,000.
• James Hardie®. Fiber-cement siding is more expensive, at approximately $14 – $15 per sq.ft., resulting in a cost of $21,000-22,500 for a 1500 sq. ft. house.
• Cedar siding. This is the most expensive, with a price tag of $20 per sq. ft., bringing the cost of using it on a 1500 sq. ft. house to approximately $30,000. Painting and staining costs are additional – an estimate will be provided.
