Steve has deep roots in Southwestern Ontario and has long been drawn to the balance of nature, architecture, and community that defines the London area. He enjoys spending time outdoors and appreciates the character of local neighbourhoods, from the mature trees to the unique home styles and the pride residents take in maintaining them. Friends and clients describe Steve as thoughtful, steady, and hands-on, someone who brings both creativity and care to everything he does.
His career began in landscape design, where he developed a strong foundation in colour, texture, balance, and visual harmony. Over time, he realized that the same principles that make outdoor spaces beautiful could also elevate a home’s exterior, leading him into siding and exterior renovations. At Ideal Siding, Steve combines design expertise with meticulous craftsmanship to create results that look great and stand the test of time. He approaches each project with reliability, clear communication, and high standards, helping homeowners feel confident from the first conversation to the final reveal. Homeowners appreciate his ability to guide them through the process and bring their vision to life, one carefully crafted exterior at a time.

Our Expert Siding Solutions for Residential and Commercial Cladding
This service renews your entire exterior with stronger materials, cleaner lines, and better insulation. We remove aging panels, repair what’s underneath, and install new siding built for long-term performance. Updated siding also supports year-round comfort, which is especially useful during London’s snowy winters when better insulation helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures.
We keep the entire workflow organized from start to finish. Surfaces are prepared thoroughly, panels are aligned with precision, and each seam is checked for stability. Clear communication ensures you always know what stage the project is in.
Some sections of your house age faster or take the brunt of weather exposure. Addressing only those areas allows you to improve protection without replacing the entire exterior. This approach restores protection without the investment of a full home-wide update. It’s a smart option when most of your exterior remains in good condition but certain portions need reinforcement or visual improvement.
We look at color, texture, and profile to ensure the finish feels unified rather than pieced together. Strong fastening and clean alignment create a refreshed, stable appearance. The end result is an updated section that performs well and fits seamlessly into the rest of your exterior.
Some issues like cracks, loose panels, dents, or minor moisture damage should be fixed promptly to prevent deeper structural problems. We inspect the affected spot, secure or replace compromised pieces, and restore the protective seal. This service gives your home steady protection and helps the rest of your siding perform as intended.
We handle repairs quickly to keep disruption low. Once the fix is complete, the area blends smoothly with the original siding. It’s a simple, effective way to maintain your exterior and avoid more serious issues down the road.
New homes benefit from a well-planned exterior that handles the region’s changing climates and supports energy efficiency. Proper preparation, ventilation layers, and accurate alignment set the stage for a durable, low-maintenance finish.
We help you select finishes and profiles that complement your home’s architecture, then install them with clean lines and consistent spacing. Thoughtful design ensures your exterior feels cohesive rather than assembled from mismatched pieces. The result is a polished, visually pleasing finish that highlights your home’s structure and stays appealing as the years pass.
The most common style options
James Hardie® fiber cement siding performs exceptionally well in London’s climate – cold winters, humid summers, and frequent temperature swings. Made from cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, it resists cracking, rot, moisture, and fire. With realistic woodgrain textures and long-lasting color options, it pairs beautifully with both heritage homes and newer suburban builds. A premium, low-maintenance material designed for decades of protection.
Vinyl siding offers an easy, affordable way to refresh your exterior with minimal upkeep. Lightweight and simple to clean, it maintains its appearance through years of sun, rain, and seasonal changes. With a wide range of profiles and colors, vinyl provides a balanced mix of style, practicality, and budget-friendly performance – perfect for homeowners wanting a clean, updated look without extra maintenance.
Cedar siding brings natural warmth and classic curb appeal. Its rich, distinctive grain and customizable stain options make it suitable for both traditional and modern home designs. With periodic sealing or staining, cedar can last for decades, and individual boards are easy to repair or refresh as needed. A timeless material for homeowners who appreciate craftsmanship and authentic beauty.
Aluminum siding offers durable, low-maintenance protection against moisture, wind, and dramatic temperature shifts common in Southwestern Ontario. Rustproof and fire-resistant, it provides long-lasting stability with minimal upkeep. Its smooth, contemporary finish works well with a variety of architectural styles while helping improve energy efficiency year-round.
Engineered wood siding blends the natural appeal of real lumber with advanced durability. Made from treated wood fibers and resins, it resists warping, pests, and moisture damage – an advantage in regions with frequent weather changes. Available in a wide range of textures and finishes, it delivers standout curb appeal with far less maintenance than traditional wood. A strong balance of beauty, strength, and long-term value.
The cost of siding depends on the material used, and several other factors, including your home’s design, size and number of stories, the cost to remove existing siding, local labor rates and even the terrain your house is built on. Regardless of your choice, we give you a final price before the job begins to help you make an informed choice.

The existing siding is carefully removed, preserving the underlying sheathing. This usually takes between two and seven days. Vinyl and cedar are quick to remove, while more durable materials such as stucco or stone may take a little longer. For new builds, this step is skipped.
The sheathing is inspected for signs of damage, rot or mold, ensuring everything is solid before proceeding. Most homes won’t require repairs, allowing the project to move forward smoothly but if repairs are necessary, a cost estimate and adjusted timeline will be provided.
To protect your home from London’s icy winters and moisture from lake-effect snow, your walls are prepared with a rain screen to improve airflow. Building paper, flashings, and strapping/mesh are also added to safeguard against water damage. Though optional, these measures can extend the life of your siding by up to 10 years.
The new siding and trim boards are installed and sealed around windows, doors, soffits, and fascia. Insect screens, flashings, dryer vents, and light fixture boxes are integrated into the design. Finally, nail holes are carefully painted for a seamless finish. Depending on the size and architectural complexity of your home, installation typically takes 7 to 10 days.
Once the work is complete, your property is left spotless, with all debris cleaned up and recycled following industry best practices. The only sign of our presence will be your newly transformed home, with its upgraded exterior.

London experiences humid summers, cold snowy winters, and constant freeze–thaw cycles. Siding must resist moisture, UV exposure, and expansion/contraction caused by temperature swings. We help you choose materials that stay durable through Southwestern Ontario’s demanding conditions.
London has a wide variety of homes – classic Old North properties, mid-century homes in Oakridge, and newer builds in Byron, Sunningdale, and Stoney Creek. An in-person assessment allows us to check for insulation gaps, moisture issues, outdated sheathing, and storm-related wear. Accurate measurements ensure your estimate reflects your home’s real needs.
Pricing depends on your selected siding material; some size and architectural features; whether old siding needs removal; repairs needed due to aging, moisture, or pests; multi-storey access and complex trim work; proximity to mature trees, shade, and moisture-prone areas. Older neighbourhoods also often require more prep work than newer subdivisions.
