Are you thinking about new siding for your home but don’t know where to begin? Ideal Siding® Portland is here to help! We do siding – it’s all we do – so you can count on us to assist you in making the right choices and guide you through the process.

In addition to making your home more beautiful outside and comfortable inside, siding also helps protect your home against the elements. You shouldn’t compromise when it comes to deciding which type of siding to use, especially in Portland, where the climate is a force to deal with.

Known for its unpredictable and changing weather conditions, the city has hot summers and cool, wet winters with an average of 155 days of rain each year. Humidity can wreak havoc on your home’s siding, shortening its lifespan and requiring regular maintenance.

We’re the siding specialists. We carry many types and styles of siding from the best manufacturers in the U.S. We will help you choose the ideal one for your Portland home, with its architectural style and your budget in mind. Take advantage of our years of experience and expertise in home siding so you can select the siding that’s right for you!

Siding Styles and Materials We Offer

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.

Let’s start with material. We offer many different types of siding material, each one available in its own styles.

• Vinyl siding: Vinyl siding is the most popular because it is low cost, easy to maintain and durable.  Its color does not fade in direct sunlight.
• Cedar siding: Cedar siding is both durable and moisture-resistant, and full of rustic charm. Although it can be more expensive than vinyl or cement fiber siding, it’s a great choice for a classic look. Available both with a clear stain and in a wide range of colors, it is easy to customize, replace and repair.
• Aluminum siding: Aluminum siding can be made to look like natural wood. Available in large, flat panels and vertical or horizontal planks, it is both durable and attractive. Popular for contemporary homes, it is lightweight, and moisture and mold resistant.  It also helps insulate your home, which will help bring down your energy bills.
• Fiber cement siding: This type of siding is material made from Portland cement combined with cement, water and cellulose fibers.  Resistant to fire, moisture and harsh weather, it has a polished look and comes in a variety of textures to mimic natural wood. Fiber cement boards can be pre-painted at the factory or primed for painting after installation. One of the most popular brands is James Hardie®.
• Engineered wood siding: Engineered wood siding is made from the fibers of recycled wood that are bound with resin and wax. It is more durable than natural wood, but equally as beautiful. It can be pre-stained to any color, and is easy to install and maintain. It’s definitely an eco-friendly option.

Now let’s talk about styles of siding. There are three basic styles. We will help you choose one that is right for your home’s architecture and design.

Lap Siding

Siding planks or lap siding is a favorite style among homeowners in Portland. Available in a wide range of colors and finishes, they can be installed vertically as well as horizontally, giving you lots of options in terms of aesthetics.

Siding Panels

Siding panels are a great choice if you like a minimalist look. The panels are cut on site to ensure they match the design of your home, and can be installed horizontally or vertically.

Like our other siding materials, they are available in an impressive range of colors and textures, including a wood grain finish.

Shingles and Shakes

Siding shingles create a natural, rustic look. They also add contrast and depth to your home’s walls and gables, creating a sense of coziness and warmth.

They are available in cedar, fiber cement and vinyl.

How Much Does Siding Cost?

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.
