Siding Types and Styles We Offer

These are the 6 most popular types of siding in Waterloo, along with a brief description of each to give you a basic understanding of the differences among them:

• James Hardie® siding. This type of siding, known as fiber cement, is made from cement, sand and cellulose fibers. We carry James Hardie® siding, one of the best brands of fiber cement siding you can buy.
• Vinyl siding. Introduced in the 1950s as a less expensive alternative to aluminum siding, this highly popular and very practical type of siding is made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, combined with ingredients to give it color, opacity, gloss, impact resistance, flexibility, and durability.
• Everlast® composite siding. An alternative to real wood siding, this brand of composite wood siding is made from thin strips of leftover wood that have been pressed and bonded together with a resin. Strong and durable, it’s almost impossible to tell the difference between composite and natural wood siding, but it’s less expensive that real wood siding.
• LP® Smartside® siding. Another brand of composite wood siding, this one uses wood strand technology that offers superior protection against all weather conditions, as well as decay and insects. It has durability, versatility and long-last curb appeal.
• Cedar wood siding. Cedar siding is made from red or white cedar, trees that are native to North America. It is popular because it is among the most durable of natural woods and is known for its authentic, rustic look.
• Aluminum siding. Aluminum siding is made from aluminum coil stock that is first chemically coated to protect the metal and then painted for additional protection. It’s durable and versatile.

These are only some of the hundreds of styles and types of siding and exterior materials we can offer you, so please give us a call to learn more.

Lap Siding

Lap siding is one of the most popular options. Last year alone, 80% of the houses we renovated last year were done with lap siding. There are several different types of lap siding, including cottage, or Dutch lap, and nickel, or ship lap. This type of siding is as excellent for creating a classic, cozy, inviting look.

Siding Panels

Siding panels can be installed horizontally or vertically. They are typically used for contemporary homes. Available in a smooth or cedarmill texture, the panels are cut on-site to ensure they match the design of your home.

Shingles and Shakes

Shingles are ideal for a rustic look, adding warmth to your home’s overall design. Its distinctive shadow lines add contrast and depth to your home’s exterior, creating an inviting sense of coziness. Shingles and shakes are available in several shapes and sizes.

Board & Batten

Board and batten siding allow you to create a personalized aesthetic for either a modern or more traditional vibe. This type of siding has a clean and multi-dimensional look that is popular in older Midwestern-style architecture as well as in the current farmhouse style. It is often used on high walls or gable walls because of its elongating effect.

How Much Does the Siding Cost?

One factor in determining how much your siding project will cost depends on the size of your house and the material selected. In Ontario, the average size of a single detached house is 1500 sq. ft. Using that size as an example, here is the approximate cost of siding your home in Waterloo based on the most commonly used types of siding:

• Vinyl siding is one of the most affordable options due to its low material cost and ease of installation. It is durable and requires little to no maintenance. It usually costs between $10 – $12 per sq. ft. For a 1500 sq. ft., your approximate total would come to $17,000.
• James Hardie® siding is known for its durability and resistance to rot, termites, and fire. Its price is between $14 – $16 per sq. ft., bringing the total amount for the same-sized house to around $23,000.
• Cedar siding is exceptional for its rustic, authentic look, but it’s almost always the most expensive type of siding. 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 $20 per sq. ft., or $30,000.

At Ideal Siding®, we strive to be as accurate as possible with our estimates so there are no surprises. 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 on.
