Due to the varying age and unique architectural design of each home, every siding project must be analyzed individually and priced according to material and labour requirements for that specific installation. When it comes to renovations, there is also the cost for removal and disposal of old siding material that must be considered.
Each type of siding presents its own particular set of characteristics, but one of the most important ones is the value it offers for the price it demands. For example, vinyl siding is known for its inexpensive installation costs, however, the materials are not very durable when compared to aluminum or fibre cement siding systems. On the other hand, aluminum material is much more costly than vinyl while fibre cement materials are heavy and more labour intensive but will last nearly half a century when correctly maintained. Wood cladding offers a longer service life than vinyl combined with similar installation costs, however, additional maintenance is required to preserve the natural beauty of the wood, unless Western Red Cedar is chosen for the project. Western Red Cedar material is significantly more expensive than other species of wood but does not require much maintenance due to its natural resistance to inclement weather exposure.
Every siding system is unique and in order to accurately compare each one, all aspects must be considered, from the price purchasing material and having it installed to maintenance requirements and length of the service life before requiring replacement.
| A siding system is much more than simply a decorative layer of materials for the exterior of your home. A high-performance siding system can significantly extend the life of your home by preventing dramatic temperature changes and humidity from affecting the living areas inside your home. For this reason, it is important to be aware of the service life of your siding system and when it must be maintained or replaced. The price to side a home is usually calculated based on the wall area to be covered rather than the more commonly discussed floor area, for example, a 2,000 sqft home will require about 3,000sqft of siding. Vinyl siding material is often the least expensive option while fibre cement and steel siding are great mid-range options. Aluminum and high-density fibre cement systems can be very costly but last much longer than their counterparts which may save money in the long run depending on the difficulty of the installation. Each siding installation is unique and final pricing will reflect the specific project but we can offer an average pricing based on a few different types of siding in order to help you build a preliminary budget for your upcoming siding needs.

Considering that the average floor space for a home is typically around 2,000sqft, most projects will cost between $______ and $______ for the installation process. |
| Cedar siding is available in a variety of different grades and profiles. Depending on your selection, the cost to install your system will change. While the installation cost per square foot for basic cedar materials starts around $___, the most difficult installations can reach up to $___. Most projects, however, will cost an approximately $___/sqft. By finding out how much each square foot of material will cost, it is easy to determine the overall cost for your project. It is important to remember that cedar material prices are extremely volatile and prices can fluctuate every few days. |
| Aluminum cladding is amongst the simplest siding systems to install, which results in a reduced installation price. You can expect to spend a minimum of $___ and a maximum of $___ for your aluminum siding installation. This pricing depends on the profile of the siding you have chosen as well as the difficulty of the installation. |
|
Corrugate Steel siding has always been quite popular in the commercial siding market. The reason for this is inexpensive materials combined with affordable installation cost. The installation costs start at $___ and can reach $___ for complex installations.
|
| While the installation costs for fibre cement products is higher than other standard siding systems, every dollar spent on fibre cement siding is a great investment that will directly impact the overall value of your home. The reason for the difference in installation cost is because of the increased weight of the siding materials. Installation costs can range from $___ to $___/sqft depending on the type of fibre cement siding you have selected. |
| Natural Brick and Stone is possibly the most expensive cladding option when it comes to installation costs per square foot. Due to the excessive weight of the system and the lengthy process to fasten materials, you can expect to spend at least $___ and up to $___ for each square foot of exterior wall to be covered. It is important to note that heavyweight siding systems may require additional structural work that may increase the cost of your project. |
|
The most common way to calculate the approximate budget required for a siding project is to establish the cost per square foot of the siding system you would like installed and multiply the value by the total wall area to be covered. If you are unsure about the exterior wall area of your home, it is quite easy to find out. Simply multiply the height and width of your exterior walls and remove the area already covered by windows or doors.

In most area, permits are not required to carry out a siding renovation. However, it is always a good idea to inquire about the need for permits with your city officials. There may limitations set by your homeowners association or strata management company. If you choose Orbis Exteriors for your project, we can save you the trouble by applying for any permits required for your project. |
|
Some types of siding require regular maintenance in order to retain their beauty. Pine siding, soffit or fascia may require a recoating of stain or paint on a yearly basis, depending on the sun and rain exposure. Other materials, such as fibre cement or aluminum, will only need to be pressure washed to remove salt, grime and mildew and visually inspected to ensure that there is no damage to the siding.
|
| Within each composition of siding, there are many profiles available. The installation process for each of these profiles has its own cost associated to the installation. Vinyl, for example, can cost less than $___ per square foot to install while fibre cement siding with the same coverage per piece can cost up to $___. Most materials cost roughly the same amount to procure them as they do to have them installed professionally. |
|
The price of installing each type of material is not the only factor that can affect the total price of your project. If a project is located in a remote area, it can require a crew to rent accommodations nearby to complete the installation which will, in turn, increase the overall cost. There is also the complexity of the installation; a home with more corner and window detail work will require more time on site and trim materials to complete. MaterialThe important factor to be considered while calculating the total cost for a siding installation is the composition of the siding. This decision will determine the type of tooling and safety equipment that is required for the project. Labor CostsThe price of installing siding materials can vary greatly from one contractor to another depending on scheduling as well as the skill and efficiency of their employees. That being said, the lowest price is not always the best option as unskilled installers may cost less initially but create the need for premature repairs that will end up costing more in the long run. While installing siding materials may seem quite simple, the technical work involved in effectively waterproofing windows, doors and all other vulnerable areas of your home is often forgotten. This preparation work must be completed correctly or issues caused by moisture and mildew can eventually resurface. House FootprintThe overall installation cost is based on the wall area to be covered, however, the shape of the homes foot print is also taken into consideration. To elaborate, a 2 story, 2000sqft home with a rectangular foot print may require roughly 3,000sqft of siding and 4 corner trims to complete the scope. However, a home with a similar square footage that features architectural details and complex shapes may require a significant amount of trim work to complete the same overall area. In most cases, the simpler the shape of a home is, the less expensive the siding project will be. Exterior House DesignWhile the average pricing we can offer is based on the typical home installation, the design of a home can greatly affect the project cost. The number of floors is, of course, a huge factor, but the height of each floor can also affect the size of the materials needed which, in turn, affects the total price. Also, the installation of trims can be quite time consuming which leads to additional expenses for each window, door or other obstacle included in the exterior design. LocationThe location of your project can affect both the overall price of materials and labour. Projects located outside of a suppliers typical shipping range can result in costly overage charges while accommodation expenses for your installation crew can add up quickly. There are many factors that can affect the total cost of your project, for this reason, we always suggest that you request a formal quote from any contractor you are in contact with for your project.

| In many cases, the overall material cost for a project is very similar to the installation cost. Most materials will cost between $___ and $___ while installation cost start just as low but can reach up to $___. Some siding do not follow this rule; for example, natural stone demands a much higher installation cost compared to the material itself while ACM panel installations are extremely efficient but materials can cost over double that of the installation. |
|
It is possible to complete your own siding installation, however, we do not recommend it. Some systems can be installed using standard tooling, but many siding compositions require specialized tools to cut and fasten the materials. For example, aluminum siding should only be cut with a saw blade designed for non-ferrous metals, whereas fibre cement siding requires a vacuum with a special fitler made to collect harmful silica dust while cutting through the material. In addition, most manufacturers offer warranties on their products, as long as they are correctly installed. Failing to follow the manufacturer’s installation requirements will not only void warranty coverage but can also create the need for premature siding repairs.
|
| The process of estimating a siding installation for a garage is essentially the same as any other scope. There is occasionally a slightly lower square foot price associated as the installation is typically less complex than the main home given the height of the structure and minimal trim work involved. Many homeowners explore less expensive siding options for their garage in order to increase the curb appeal of their home by using premium siding products all while maintaining the same overall budget. |
|
There are many contractors on the market who have experience installing only a few different siding systems. Each system presents its own set of challenges and installation requirements; It is important to make sure that the contractor you choose for your project is familiar with the products you have in mind. Here are a few topics you should ask your siding contractor about prior to choosing their services for your project.
|
| Most home and business owners choose to renovate their siding during the summer season as interior work is easier to complete during colder months. Also, many home developers take advantage of the dry summer weather to increase their production. This creates an extremely high demand for siding contractors and materials between June and September every year which, in turn, causes increased pricing throughout the industry. If you are flexible with your project timeline, we suggest trying to schedule your siding installation during the calm season. Of course winter weather may cause some delays throughout your project, however, the consistent availability of materials and installers will make the process of finding a siding contractor for your project much easier. |
| The decision to renovate your homes siding can be a big one given the combined cost of construction material, labour and all other services required to complete a siding project. You’ll be happy to know that renovating your siding is a great way to add significant value to your home, whether it be fore resale purposes or for your own peace of mind. Even though the average siding renovation starts around $___ per square foot, you can expect to make over 50% on your initial investment when comes time to sell your home. On the other hand, a modern siding system can not only save your home from potential water or fire damage, but they are also designed to last decades longer than older systems. The ability to personalize your homes appearance all while protecting your home from the need for future repairs is a great way to ensure peace of mind for you and your family. On the other hand, upgrading the siding system with intent to sell your home can be a cost effective way to attract more buyers to your property. |

We ordered siding and windows along with the installation from this company. Manager Tom came to estimate the house. Estimation was free. He counted everything and suggested which materials would be better with best quality. He also talked about the timing, progress of work and stages. All materials were brought free of charge, the entire territory was cleaned and covered with special tents so as not to spoil my garden and lawn, as well as the adjacent territory. The installation scheme was not typical and was proposed by the project manager as the optimal solution for our house design. Tom's team worked well, very efficiently maintaining an average pace and completed all the work in accordance with the established requirements. The working conditions were not satisfactory due to bad weather conditions, but despite this, the quality did not suffer. I was convinced of this once again when my relative (a professional builder) came to visit me from Manitoba and confirmed it. The experience of the construction crew is visible to the naked eye. The team is 100% completed in special equipment and tooling, I liked it. There were times when I asked builders about the tools they use. They showed me and said that all one kit they use costs at least $ 15,000. I noticed Hilti, Makita and other brands, which are very expensive. All the pitfalls were discussed during the construction activities in advance and did not baffle me. Based on the results of the work performed, I can evaluate the construction and installation team and the manager's project for an assessment of "5+". At the end of the construction activities, the area around the house was cleaned up, the remaining materials were disposed of according to the rules. In general, we were satisfied with the work, the price was not to say that it was expensive, but also not cheap. I believe that the entire budget spent on facing our house is fully justified. In confirmation of this, my friend, a realtor, told me that after the renovation, my house grew in price by 78% of the funds spent on the cladding, so I am very pleased, as most likely I will sell it in the near future. Project manager and respectable builders are very good. I and my wife would like to thank this company for the work done on time and for the attitude towards the client.

We had all the siding on our house replaced by Orbis. The only hang-up was a delay in the custom painting of the Hardie, which took a little longer than expected. But it was definitely worth the wait! Tom, our sales rep, was outstanding and very responsive. He was up front about pricing and extremely thorough. Jeremy and his crew did an exceptional job with the install. They were respectful, maintained a clean site, and detailed. I would absolutely recommend Orbis to anyone out there looking for exterior home improvements!
