Navigate Your Siding Choices – Expertly Curated Styles & Materials
In addition to making your home more beautiful, and helping you reduce your energy bills, your home’s siding has to stand up to Portland’s mix of weather, from summer days when the sun is baking down to the winter months of humid, rainy conditions. That’s why you want to choose the right siding from the get-go.
Ideal Siding® offers a wide range of types of siding, each one available in its own range of sizes, designs, colors and textures. We can help you choose a siding material that aligns with your taste, budget and home’s design style, as well as one that is appropriate for Portland.
First, let’s talk materials – because what you wrap your home in matters big time here in Portland. We carry all major siding types, each with unique strengths:
- Vinyl siding: Your go-to for wallet-friendly toughness. It’s the most popular for good reason – low maintenance, stands up to our rain, and won’t fade or crack under UV beatings. Perfect if you want reliability without constant upkeep.
- Cedar siding: Nature’s weather warrior with timeless charm. Naturally fights moisture and brings serious rustic beauty. Costs more than vinyl or fiber cement, but delivers unmatched character. Stain it clear or go bold – it’s surprisingly forgiving to repair or tweak later.
- Aluminum siding: Sleek, modern muscle. Mimics wood grain beautifully but laughs off rot and mold. Comes in smooth panels or classic planks. Lightweight, fire-resistant, and actually insulates – meaning lower heating bills during those damp Oregon winters. A top pick for contemporary builds.
- Fiber cement siding: The ultimate Pacific Northwest armor. Made from cement, sand, and cellulose fibers (think super-tough pulp). Survives fires, gales, and sideways rain without flinching. Looks sharp – mimics wood grain textures flawlessly. Get it factory-painted or prime-and-paint onsite. James Hardie® is the gold standard here for good reason.
- Engineered wood siding: Eco-smart beauty. Recycled wood fibers bonded with resins. Tougher than natural wood but just as gorgeous. Factory-stained to any color, installs smooth, and needs barely any pampering. Your green choice without sacrificing looks.
We’ll help you nail the perfect look – matching your home’s architecture AND your taste. Because Portland deserves more than just a weather shield – it deserves serious curb appeal. We work with three core siding styles.
Lap Siding
Lap siding installs in overlapping horizontal rows, creating a water-shedding armor that’s stood the test of time. We use it on 80% of Pacific Northwest remodels because its simple profile hides seasonal expansion/contraction better than rigid panels.

America’s classic choice for a reason – timeless curb appeal that boosts resale value. Modern vinyl, fiber cement, or engineered wood options deliver low-maintenance durability with authentic wood-grain textures. Perfect for traditional colonials, farmhouses, or adding character to ranch-style homes.
Siding Panels
Vertical panels solve three problems: fast coverage for large walls, structural rigidity in high-wind zones, and dramatic visual height. Instant architectural drama with fewer seams than lap siding. Board-and-batten’s rhythmic texture evokes premium barn conversions, while sleek flat panels scream modern luxury.

Accelerates installation by 30%+ on large projects – a cost-efficient showstopper for contemporary builds or statement accents.
Shingles and Shakes
Precision-cut shingles create a tight, uniform skin that sheds rain efficiently. We specify resin-infused cedar or fiber cement for coastal zones – they withstand salt spray without warping. These geometrically consistent tiles deliver old-world charm with zero rot risk.

Stain them for a weathered Nantucket look or paint bold hues for Victorian flair. The go-to for historic districts, beach cottages, or adding refined texture to dormers. Fiber cement alternatives offer the same woodsy drama with 50-year fade resistance.
How Much Does Siding Cost in Portland?
The cost of your siding project depends on several factors, including the cost of the material you choose, as well as the current condition of your house. Our quote is based on square footage and includes the cost of installation. Most homeowners choose vinyl, because, in addition to being durable and easy to maintain, it is the least expensive type of siding. Wood cedar siding is invariably the most expensive. Fiber cement generally costs less than wood, and is more expensive than vinyl.
Regardless of which you choose, we give you a final price before the job begins so you can make an informed choice.
- Vinyl siding: Easy to install, vinyl siding costs approximately $12 – $13 per square foot. Installing vinyl siding on a 2000 sq. ft. house, will cost between $24,000 to $26,000.
- Fiber cement: James Hardie® siding is more expensive, at approximately $14 – $15 per sq. ft., resulting in a cost of $30,000 for a 2000 sq. ft. house.
- Cedar siding: This is the most expensive, with a price tag of $18 – $20 per sq. ft., bringing the cost of using it on a 2000 sq. ft. house to approximately $36,000 – $40,000. Painting and staining costs are additional – an estimate will be provided.

These are estimates only, because the current condition of your house has an impact on the final cost. Your siding project may require additional work if the underlying structure is rotten or damaged. Because we conduct a thorough inspection of your house before work begins, we give you a final price beforehand to help you make an informed choice.
