Choosing the Right Siding for Your Home

Aesthetics

When choosing siding, think about:

  • Taking Inspiration from Your Home: Consider your home’s style, so you can find siding to match. If your house has any dividing beams or additions, you might also be able to blend styles (board and batten in one section, shake-style siding in another).
  • Looking at Other Homes in Your Neighbourhood: Every street has its own charm whether strikingly modern, simply classic, or a blend of different styles.
  • Ultimately, you need to keep your own preferences in mind and choose the siding that you like best, as it’s something you will enjoy for years to come.

Durability

Siding is often your home’s first line of defence against the elements and wear and tear, which is why it has to be ready to stand up to the challenge.

If your area is particularly prone to excessive rains or high winds, your siding needs to be suited to handle these conditions. If you have young children who like to spend time playing outside (with hard hockey pucks perhaps), you might also want to favour dent-resistant siding options.

Energy Efficiency

The energy efficiency of materials like siding is measured in R-Values. The higher the R-value, the better the thermal insulation will be. Wood and Celect® Cellular Composite Siding have some of the highest R-values.

Keep in mind, however, that to make your home truly energy efficient and effectively control its temperature (staying cool in the summer and warm in the winter), you need to have the right exterior wall insulation. We recommend replacing exterior wall insulation only when siding is being replaced. Putting insulation in walls when you’re not replacing siding means drilling through outside siding or inside plaster or drywall, leaving behind mess and unappealing holes. Reinsulating exterior walls while redoing your siding will help your home look and perform its best.

Budget

The type of siding you choose will also be dictated to varying degrees by your budget. Vinyl siding is typically the most cost-effective type of siding available, while wood has the highest price tag. Remember, though, that the initial purchase price doesn’t always tell the full story. Investing in quality siding from the start can help you avoid troublesome maintenance costs and headaches down the road.

Also, financing might be an option. If it’s not available through your home contractor, there might be other avenues available to you like a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC).

Maintenance

Each type of siding comes with its own maintenance needs, though some are workloads are lighter than others. Vinyl siding, for example, usually only needs to be washed down and inspected once per year. By comparison, wood siding should be inspected annually and needs to be repainted every three to seven years.

Keep in mind that you don’t need to view regular upkeep as downside. If you look forward to changing up your home’s look every few years, siding that needs to be repainted might be for you! It’s about understanding what you’re looking for in your siding and finding options to match.

Future Plans

Is your current home your forever home, or do you plan on moving in the near future? Installing new siding can increase your property value and make it appealing for buyers.

Most Common Questions Answered by Our Siding Contractors

Do I need to do anything to prepare my home to have my siding replaced?

Before our contractors arrive, there are a few things you can do to prepare for your siding installation or repair:

  • Remove any small lawn decorations or solar lights. Siding installers can put larger items aside safely and return them after the installation.
  • Clear space in the driveway for the crew to unload material and set up the equipment necessary for installation. The crew will pack up at the end of the day, but materials will remain onsite.
  • If you have pets in the house and they tend to be nervous with loud noises or strangers, homeowners might consider boarding them stay with friends, family, or neighbours or boarding them for the week. There will be noise from pneumatic nailers and compressors as well as from the removal and installation of the material itself.
  • Trimming hedges or tree branches and clearing debris from your yard will provide our crews with safe working environments and speed up the installation process.

How long will the project take?

In the majority of cases, you can expect the process to take 5-7 days for siding and 2-3 days for painting (if required). Keep in mind, however, that this will vary on a home-by-home basis and will be affected by factors outside of your contractor’s control like the weather (rains, winds, snow, temperatures, etc.).

When will contractors be working on my home?

Our siding contractors typically start their day around 7:00am and end it around 6:00pm during the week. Should we need to work alternate hours or be present on the weekend, we will discuss that with you in advance.

How much siding will crews take off and replace in a day?

Our general rule of thumb is to only remove as much siding as we can replace with a weather barrier that same day so we don’t leave your home unnecessarily exposed to the elements.

If I have landscaping, will the work on my siding affect it?

Our contractors work as carefully as possible to prevent harming any existing landscaping. That being said, we do recommend that you take measures to protect any sensitive plants, pieces, or areas (remove delicate planters, tie back important plants, etc.).

What will the cleanup process be like?

Our crews will tidy the area on a daily basis and will do a complete clean when the job is complete.

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding is one of the most popular types of siding in North America and is a great option for any home:

  • Vinyl siding is dent and water resistant, forming a tough barrier to protect your siding against impacts and prevent water from seeping in.
  • The products we use are manufactured with the colour going all the way through the material so they don’t chip, peel, or show scratches, eliminating the need for time-consuming scraping and repainting. They are also coated in special low-gloss finishes that keep your colour looking vibrant for many years to come.
  • We offer horizontal as well as board and batten vinyl siding, so you can choose the style suited to your aesthetic preferences and your home.

Wood Siding

Wood siding can give your home a distinct and natural look—a time-tested aesthetic many homeowners look for:

  • Houses with wood siding benefit from the natural beauty of the material, which can be customized to reflect a variety of different aesthetic styles. With the right maintenance (painting, staining, etc.), wood siding will make your house look classic and timeless.
  • It’s also biodegradable and made from renewable natural materials, making wood siding an environmentally-friendly siding option.
  • Wood siding is a natural insulator, which means that your home will be more energy efficient as you cool and heat it throughout the seasons.

Celect® Cellular Composite Siding

Celect® cellular composite siding is one of the newest types available, but it’s already making its mark:

  • This upscale siding gives you the sought-after appearance of real woodand is available in over a dozen colours.
