Home size and storeys
More wall area and a second or third storey mean more material, more staging, and more labour to reach it safely.

Cost by material
Siding price per square foot, installed.
Installed cost covers materials and our labour, including housewrap, flashing and proper ventilation. Removing old cladding and fixing any rot or water damage we find is extra, and it is where honest contractors and corner-cutters part ways.
| Material | Per sq ft, installed | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| VinylBudget, low maintenance | $6 to $14 | Durable and affordable; the widest colour range. |
| Fibre cementDurable mid-tier | $12 to $18 | Fire and rot resistant; a long-lasting workhorse. |
| Engineered wood / CanExelWood look, less upkeep | $17 to $23 | Factory-finished panels that resist fading and freeze-thaw. |
| Maibec genuine woodPremium | Quoted per project | Factory-prefinished real wood, our most-requested premium siding. |
A full re-side for an average Ontario home runs roughly $10,000 to $22,000, more for premium wood, larger homes, or custom and heritage projects. See how we install siding or ask us for a written quote.
What moves the number
What affects your siding price.
Material
Vinyl sits at the low end, engineered wood and Maibec at the premium end. The look and upkeep you want drives the rate.
Tear-off and repairs
Removing old siding and fixing rot, water damage or bad sheathing adds cost, but skipping it is how walls fail later.
Trim and detailing
Aluminum trim, fascia wrap, custom flashings and crisp board-and-batten layouts are where a premium re-side earns its price.
Profile and accents
Board and batten, shakes, mixed materials and feature walls add labour over a straight horizontal run.
Access and grade
Tight lots, steep grade and tricky rooflines change the staging and pace of the job.

Siding cost questions
Quick answers.
How much does it cost to re-side a house in Ontario in 2026?
New siding in Ontario typically costs about $6 to $23 per square foot installed in 2026, so a full re-side for an average home runs roughly $10,000 to $22,000. Vinyl is the budget option; fibre cement, engineered wood and Maibec genuine wood cost more. Larger, premium and heritage homes run higher; we quote yours free.
Is fibre cement or engineered wood worth the extra cost over vinyl?
Often, yes, if you want the look and longevity. Vinyl is the most affordable and very low maintenance. Fibre cement and engineered wood cost more up front but give you a richer, more substantial look, better durability, and in the case of Maibec and CanExel, a factory finish built for Ontario freeze-thaw. We will tell you honestly where each makes sense for your home.
What makes a siding job cost more?
The biggest drivers are home size and height, the material you choose, and whether old siding has to come off and hidden damage gets repaired. Trim, fascia, custom flashings and feature profiles like board and batten add to a straight run. Good detailing is most of what separates a premium re-side from a cheap one.
How long does each type of siding last?
Installed properly with the right flashing and ventilation, quality vinyl lasts decades, fibre cement and engineered wood longer still, and genuine wood like Maibec rewards occasional care with the best look on the wall. The install detail matters as much as the material, which is the part our reviews keep mentioning.
Do you offer financing on siding?
Yes. We offer flexible financing so you can spread a re-side over manageable monthly payments instead of paying it all up front. Ask about it when we quote and we will walk you through the options on the financing page.
