Our Expert Siding Solutions for Residential and Commercial Cladding

  • Full house siding replacement

    Starts at $15,000

    A full siding replacement renews your entire exterior, improving insulation and protecting your home from harsh weather. When panels are worn or failing, upgrading everything at once provides a fresh start and a strong, consistent barrier. This approach helps maintain comfort through Calgary’s demanding winters.

    The process follows a clear, professional workflow. Old materials are removed, the structure is inspected, and new siding is installed with careful alignment. Quality materials and precise workmanship create a finished exterior that looks clean, balanced, and built to last.

  • Partial siding replacement

    Starts at $3,000

    Partial replacement is ideal when only one or two sections of your home show wear from sun exposure or aging materials. This service restores structural protection while preserving the siding that still performs well. It’s a practical way to keep your exterior looking good without a full renovation.

    Matching is handled thoughtfully so new panels line up smoothly with the existing ones. Texture, hue, and fit are adjusted to create a unified appearance. The end result blends naturally into your exterior, providing a clean, reliable update.

  • Repair of damaged areas

    Starts at $1,000

    Repairing damaged siding prevents small issues from turning into bigger problems. Cracks, dents, or loose boards can let in cold air or moisture, reducing comfort and efficiency. A focused repair resolves these concerns quickly and extends the lifespan of surrounding siding.

    Repairs require an understanding of how materials behave in different conditions, especially when temperature and humidity change throughout the year. We approach each repair with knowledge of how siding expands and contracts, ensuring the fixed section stays stable. This helps prevent gaps, future warping, or uneven alignment.

  • New constructions

    Starts at $20,000

Thoughtful transitions around windows, doors, and corners strengthen durability and enhance curb appeal. The final result is a stable, well-finished exterior designed to last.

Best siding contractors in Calgary - working with siding planks, panels, shingles

Lap Siding

One of the most widely used choices for single-family home renovations, offering a traditional and timeless look. Siding plank can be found on more than 80% of the homes with the siding installed over the past couple of decades.

Needless to say, it is still a very much popular option until this day. Planks are usually produced from wood (either cedar or hemlock), fiber cement, vinyl or aluminum. Siding planks can be installed horizontally or vertically or in a combination of both.

Shingles and Shakes

Siding Shingles (also referred to as shake siding) are another popular option, usually either in combination with the siding planks or on their own. Mostly used on feature walls and gables, this siding design adds character and warmth to the entire house.

Installing shingles on the whole house will add refinement to a rustic style of cottage or ranch home. Siding shingles are manufactured from fiber cement, cedar, or vinyl.

Siding Panels

If you are looking for a contemporary look with minimalistic features, this siding style is for you. Siding Panels have gotten more recognition over the past few years as innovative technologies have taken the siding industry by the storm.

Siding panels have either a smooth texture offering a sleek finish or a cedarmill texture that mimics the look of natural cedar. Panels are usually sized and cut on-site to ensure the perfect fit and can be installed either horizontally or vertically. Some of the most common profiles are Board and Batten, Easy Trim Reveal, and Open Joint Cladding.

We Make It So Easy

Get an amazing home transformation in 5 steps

  1. 1 step
    Old Siding Removal

    Depending on the type of old siding being removed, this step might take anywhere between 2 to 7 days. During the removal process, it is imperative to do a thorough job to not damage sheathing underneath while removing nails. In some cases, new siding can be installed on top of the old one, although it is not recommended.

  2. 2 step
    Sheathing Damage Inspection

    Careful sheathing inspection is an important step to indicate any areas in need of repair. You do not want to install new siding, that will last you over 30 years, on the damaged sheathing. In most cases, the sheathing is in good condition, and no repairs are required. If the rot has been detected, you could be looking at an additional cost for repairs.

  3. 3 step
    Preparation of the Wall for Siding

    Once the sheathing inspection is finished, we would start to install building paper to protect walls from moisture. During this step, we also install flashings and bug screens to repel water from openings and protect walls from insects crawling in.

    It is optional to install rainscreen on the houses in Calgary, according to Alberta Building Code. In case you choose to install a rainscreen, it will prolong the lifespan of the building structure and your new siding for up to 5-10 years. The rainscreen system allows airflow between walls of the house and siding, allowing any moisture trapped to evaporate quickly.

  4. 4 step
    Siding Installation and Touch-ups

    After all the preparation work for the walls has been done, we start the siding installation. Depending on the materials and design chosen, this step might take anywhere between 7 to 10 days.

    Additional time is required for the installation of trim boards around the windows and doors, fascias, overcap corners, dryer vents and other detailing elements. During this step, we apply touch-up paint to the nail heads and caulking in between the boards to create that perfect seamless finish.

  5. 5 step
    Waste Removal and Clean Up

    The final stage of the siding installation project would be the clean-up and siding inspection with the homeowner. Once the crew finished the installation and the waste has been removed, the Project Manager will meet up with the homeowner to go over the details of the completed work.

    He will be informed about the details of both warranties, on materials and on workmanship. Also, on how to take care of your new siding to maintain that sparkling new look.

FAQ

Our team is always available to assist and provide further details tailored to your specific needs.

How does Calgary’s climate affect siding performance?

With dry prairie air, long winters, dramatic Chinook swings, and severe hailstorms, Calgary’s climate puts siding materials to the test. To withstand cracking, impact damage, warping, and constant temperature shifts, James Hardie® fibre cement is one of the most reliable options for local homes.

Why is an on-site inspection necessary before giving a siding quote?

Calgary homes range from older bungalows and infills to new suburban builds and acreages. A visit allows us to check for hail damage, insulation gaps, moisture issues, and the condition of the sheathing. Precise measurements ensure your estimate reflects your home’s actual needs.

Can I see examples of siding projects you’ve completed in Calgary?

Absolutely. We maintain a gallery of before-and-after photos from homes across Calgary, including inner-city neighbourhoods and newer suburbs. These examples can help you visualize colours, materials, and design styles.

How long does a siding project typically take?

Most projects take 2 to 4 weeks, depending on material availability, weather, and home complexity. Severe cold snaps or storms may create brief delays, but we plan accordingly and keep you informed.

Do you remove old siding before installing new material?

Typically, yes. A full tear-off lets us inspect the sheathing for moisture, rot, previous hail impact, or outdated insulation — issues that are common in older Calgary homes. Proper prep ensures long-term performance.

Can siding be installed year-round in Calgary?

Often yes, though extremely cold temperatures or storms can temporarily pause work. We plan installations around safe weather windows to ensure proper adhesion and performance.

Can you help if my siding was damaged by hail or storm activity?

Absolutely. Calgary is one of Canada’s most hail-prone cities. If you suspect storm-related damage, we can inspect your home, document the findings, and help guide you through the insurance claim process.

What kind of maintenance does siding require?

Maintenance depends on the material, but Calgary’s dry air and sun exposure may require occasional cleaning and inspection. Once you choose your siding, we’ll provide a simple care routine suited to Alberta’s environment.
