Ideal Siding is a rapidly growing franchise specializing in residential siding installation and renovation services across North America. Founded by Alex Filipuk in Vancouver, British Columbia, the company began as a response to the inefficiencies and high costs in the siding industry that left both customers and installers dissatisfied.
Recognizing the opportunity to streamline the process, Ideal Siding developed a business model that significantly reduces costs for homeowners while increasing wages for installation crews.
Headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia, the franchise officially began offering opportunities to entrepreneurs in 2022, and it has quickly expanded across the United States and Canada.
Ideal Siding differentiates itself through its commitment to customer service, transparency, and quality. The franchise offers a unique value proposition by leveraging advanced technologies, such as custom house mockups created by an in-house design team, to help clients visualize their projects before they begin.
