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 that 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 has to be able to 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 in Victoria, 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 Victoria, we pride ourselves on how knowledgeable and experienced we are in the siding industry. We were the first company in Canada to become an Elite Preferred James Hardie contractor, which means we helped more homeowners than any other company.

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 for it. 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.
Siding Plank
Siding plank is probably the most versatile option of 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.

Siding Shingles
Shingles (also referred to as shake siding) are preferred by homeowners who wish to give their home 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; quite often mimicking the texture of real wood, 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 with 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.
Cedar is praised for its natural rustic look blending in perfectly with the West Coast landscape, while vinyl siding usually provides the most affordable option with lots of colours to choose from. 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.
How Much Does It Cost?
