Shake & Shingle Siding in Sarnia
Shake and shingle profiles add texture to gables, upper storeys and feature areas without requiring natural cedar.
What matters
Plan the whole exterior, not just the visible panel
Good exterior design is about proportion and transitions as much as material. The profile should work with the home’s windows, rooflines, trim widths and existing masonry rather than being selected in isolation.
Use profile to control visual proportion

FAQ
Common questions
Can I mix horizontal and vertical siding?
Yes. A common approach is to use one as the main field and the other on gables or feature areas, with trim creating a deliberate transition.
Should the trim match or contrast?
Either can work. Matching trim creates a quieter exterior; contrast makes openings and rooflines more graphic. The proportions of the house should guide the choice.
