Ideal Siding® Victoria

We Find an Ideal Solution for You

Ideal Siding® Victoria fully services Victoria and surrounding areas to ensure homeowners can choose siding depending on their style preferences and budget. Many older homes in Victoria can benefit significantly from having their siding replaced or repaired to ensure their home is protected from all the elements.

Victoria residents get to enjoy moderate coastal weather compared to other areas of Canada with more extreme weather conditions. There is little snowfall, but rain in the winter and the summers with low humidity and ocean breezes keep it from becoming too hot. Our company installs materials manufactured specifically for this climate zone (like James Hardie® HZ5).

Because Victoria has quite significant contrasts between the wet and dry climate in the winter and summer, the siding of the house must withstand these changes. We offer a variety of options, including the low-maintenance ones and with high protection from colour fading.

Here, at Ideal Siding®, we understand the importance of that and make it our mission to help you create the home of your dreams. Whether it is helping you with a minor repair task, replacing siding on the entire house or assisting you with choosing the right siding option.

Siding is considered to have one of the best returns on investment when compared to other renovation projects. New exterior with low-maintenance options, combined with a 25-year warranty, improves the value of your home substantially.

At Ideal Siding®, we pride ourselves on how knowledgeable and experienced we are in the siding industry. We were one of the first companies in Canada to become an Elite Preferred James Hardie® contractor, which means we helped more homeowners than any other company.

Many new siding brands are gaining more and more popularity with edge-cutting technologies and modern design options these days. There are also many styles to choose from: rustic-looking shingles, versatile planks, cottage-style board and batten siding to sleek panels. Every homeowner would be able to find the option that fits their needs and preferences.

Popular Siding Styles

We can install any type and shape of siding. Just pick the design and colour you want, and we will provide you with different material options and pricing. At Ideal Siding®, we know how challenging it is to choose the new siding for your house, so we decided to list a few of the most popular style options below.

Lap Siding

Siding plank is probably the most versatile option for exterior cladding over the past few decades. This style of siding can be found on more than 80% of homes on the West Coast. Mostly produced from cedar, vinyl, fiber cement or aluminum, and installed both horizontally and vertically.

Shakes and Shingles

Shingles (also called shake siding) are preferred by homeowners who wish to give their home a rustic look with coastal warmth. For many years the most popular material used for shingles manufacturing was cedar.

With the rise of modern technology, vinyl and fiber cement became widely used in production, often mimicking natural wood’s texture, but with significant cost savings. Shingles come in many different profiles like straight edge, staggered edge and scalloped, to name a few.

Siding Panels

Siding panels offer homeowners modern solutions with significant design flexibility. With clean lines, distinctive shading and a sleek polished look, siding panels are the choice for contemporary design options.

Either in cedarmill texture to resemble natural wood or smooth, panels are cut on-site to match the preferred style. The most popular and well-known profiles are Board and Batten, Easy Trim Reveal Panels and Open Joint Cladding.

Siding Materials We Offer

We work with Longboard, AL13, Alucobond, James Hardie®, Allura, Kaycan, LP, Mitten, Woodtone, Gentek and other manufacturers and distributors to offer you as many options as possible. Over the past few decades, local homeowners favourited cedar, vinyl and James Hardie® siding the most:

1. Cedar siding is praised for its natural rustic look blending perfectly with the West Coast landscape. You can opt for natural cedar that emphasizes its beauty with the knots and grain intact with a clear or tinted stain, or you can have it primed and ready to paint with any colour of exterior siding paint.
2. James Hardie® fibre cement siding has gained significant popularity amongst homeowners in recent years due to its resemblance to natural cedar without all the maintenance required. High fire resistance ratings, insect- and mould resistance properties were also some of the convincing factors in favour of fibre cement siding.
3. Vinyl siding is one of the most popular, versatile, low-maintenance options. The low cost of materials and new technologies have made it even more durable and appealing. It is suitable for most weather conditions.

There are many other styles and types of siding and exterior materials we can offer you, please call us for any specific requests.

How Much Does It Cost?

The renovation project consists of multiple parts like demolition, wall preparation, rainscreen, trim work, and siding installation. The cost of a siding project would depend on many factors like:

• Time of the year (seasonality factor)
• Availability of materials
• Location of your project
• Accessibility of the walls, etc.

Also, the cost of your siding project depends heavily on the condition of your current siding. If your existing siding is damaged and has caused harm to the underlying sheathing, repairs will be necessary before installing new exterior. This will increase the budget of the project.
