Common questions
How much does it cost to replace siding in Canada?
RenoQuotes' 2026 guide puts installed fibre-cement siding around $5–$15 per square foot, so a typical 1,500 sq ft wall in mid-grade fibre cement lands near $15,000 before tax — small vinyl jobs fall lower and large premium or wood projects run well above. Use the calculator above for a range matched to your wall area, stories, and material.
Does the estimate include removing the old siding?
Yes — toggle 'Remove old siding' to include tear-off and disposal. Leaving it off assumes new siding over the existing layer, which is cheaper but not always advisable or permitted by your municipality.
Which siding material should I choose?
Vinyl is the budget choice; fibre cement (Hardie) is the durable mid-grade standard well-suited to Canadian freeze-thaw climates; wood, steel, and premium products sit at the top. Pick the material that matches your climate and budget — the calculator scales the estimate accordingly. Prices shown are before GST/PST/HST, which is added per-province at billing.
