Ideal Siding® Niagara

 We Find an Ideal Solution for You

Being a homeowner in Niagara means dealing with its humid continental climate, which brings cold winters, hot summers, and over 60” of snow annually, thanks to the lake effect from lakes Erie and Ontario.

Siding Types and Styles We Offer

Because there are so many choices of siding design, style, material, and colour, it can be difficult to know how to make the right choices for your home. Ideal Siding® is here to help! Our experts will walk you through the many options to meet your style, taste and budget.

Because of Niagara’s humid, snowy climate as well as the types of architecture typically found in Ontario, we recommend using one of six different types of siding for your home. We are confident the one you choose will match your home’s style and blend in with your neighbourhood, as well as provide the maximum amount of protection.

• James Hardie® siding.  Known as fiber cement, this type of siding is made from a mixture of cement, sand and cellulose fibers. We believe James Hardie® siding is one of the best brands of fiber cement siding you can buy today.
• Vinyl siding.  Vinyl has been around for over 70 years. Made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin combined with ingredients to give it colour, opacity, gloss, impact resistance, flexibility, and durability, it’s highly popular throughout Canada due to its low cost and high performance.
• Everlast® composite siding.  If you like the look of real wood siding but don’t want to deal with maintenance or extra cost, Everlast Composite siding is for you! It is made from thin strips of leftover wood that have been pressed and bonded together with a resin. Strong and durable, it looks just like natural wood siding, but it’s less expensive and easier to maintain.
• LP® Smartside® siding. This is another brand of composite wood siding. It’s made using a wood strand technology that offers superior protection against all weather conditions. A great choice if you like the rustic natural wood aesthetic, it offers durability, versatility and long-lasting curb appeal.
• Cedar wood siding.  Wood siding is the real deal! Known for its durability as well as its rustic good looks and charm, cedar siding is made from red or white cedar, trees that are native to North America.
• Aluminum siding.  Aluminum siding is another very popular choice in Niagara due to its high performance and low cost. It’s made from aluminum coil stock that is chemically coated to protect the metal and then painted for additional protection.

Still can’t find what you’re looking for? We offer many other styles and types of siding and exterior materials. Just give us a call to learn more.

Now it’s time to choose the right style of siding for your home, which will determine its final look and curb appeal. Ideal Siding® carries a wide range of siding styles for every taste, including lap siding, panels, board and batten, and shingles. We’ll help you pick one that’s right for your home’s aesthetic as well as your personal preference and budget, from traditional and rustic to modern.

Lap Siding

For a classic, but cozy look, nothing beats lap siding. In fact, a majority of the houses we renovated last year were clad with lap siding. This style of siding is well-suited to the Queen Anne style of architecture which is so popular in Niagara.

Shingles and Shakes

Shingles are ideal for a rustic look, adding warmth to your home’s overall design. It’s often chosen because of its distinctive shadow lines, which add contrast and depth to your home’s exterior. Available in several shapes and sizes, you can’t go wrong with shingles and shakes.

Board & Batten

Board and batten siding allows you to create a personalized aesthetic, whether you’re going for a traditional or modern look. This type of siding has a clean, multi-dimensional look. It is often used on high walls or gable walls because of its elongating effect.

Siding Panels

Panels can be installed horizontally or vertically. One of its advantages is that it can be installed horizontally or vertically. Often used for contemporary homes, it is available in a smooth or cedar mill texture. The panels are cut on-site to ensure they are the perfect fit.

How Much Does the Siding Cost?

The cost of new siding on your home is based on several factors, such as your home’s current condition, whether the job involves removing and demolishing old and whether you add items such as trim boards, soffits, and fascia boards. The material you choose plays a big role in your siding project’s final cost.

We provide you with everything you need to know in order to make an informed decision. Our thorough inspection of your house at the beginning of your siding project allows us to give you a final price before we even start. Here is the approximate cost of siding your home in Niagara based on the most commonly used types of siding:

• Vinyl siding is almost always the most affordable option due to its low material cost and ease of installation. It is very durable, requires very little maintenance and is available in a wide variety of colours. It usually costs between $10 – $12 per sq. ft. For a 1500 sq. ft. house, which is the average size in Niagara, your approximate total would be $15,000.
• James Hardie® siding is known for its durability and resistance to rot and insects. Its price is between $14 – $15 per sq. ft., bringing the total amount for the same-sized house to around $22,000.
• Cedar siding is praised for its rustic, authentic look, but be prepared to pay a bit more. It also requires more maintenance than other types of siding. The cost of siding a 1500 sq. ft. house in cedar siding will run you about $19 per sq. ft., or $28,500.

At Ideal Siding®, we strive to be as accurate as possible with our estimates. Additional factors that might have an effect on the total cost of your siding project are your home’s design, its size and the number of stories. Other considerations include the cost of removing existing siding, local labour rates and the terrain that your house is built.
