Siding or Roofing Pricing
Here’s a quick pricing guide based on real projects in the Greater Vancouver area.
Siding Installation Costs
Siding prices vary depending on material, home size, and complexity.
Example Siding Cost Calculation
If you choose vinyl siding, which ranges from $6.50 – $8.50 per sq ft, a 2,000 sq ft home could cost approximately $13,000 – $17,000. Vinyl is one of the most cost-effective options and generally has lower installation costs.
James Hardie® (fiber cement) typically ranges from $9.50 – $16 per sq ft depending on material, design, and project scope. A 2,000 sq ft home would usually be around $19,000 – $32,000.
For cedar siding, which ranges from $12 – $13.50 per sq ft, you can expect a total cost of about $24,000 – $27,000. Cedar provides a natural, high-end look but usually requires additional maintenance like staining or painting.
Roofing Installation Costs
Roofing prices vary depending on material, roof size, slope, and overall complexity.
Example Roofing Cost Calculation
If you choose asphalt shingles, typically starting around $6 – $10 per sq ft, a 2,000 sq ft roof could cost approximately $12,000 – $20,000. Asphalt shingles are the most common and costeffective option.
If you go with metal roofing, generally ranging from $12 – $20 per sq ft, the same roof would typically fall between $24,000 – $40,000. Metal roofs offer a modern look and long lifespan with minimal maintenance.
For torch-on (flat roofing) systems, usually priced around $10 – $16 per sq ft, a similar roof area could range from $20,000 – $32,000 depending on size and access. This is a durable option for low-slope or flat roofs.
