    List of services

    The Family Siding Services Available in Southwest Calgary

    Our skilled team in Calgary can complete any siding project. From repairs and spot renovations to full siding installation, we’ll get it done and help you choose the best material for the job from our high-quality siding options:

    1. Vinyl Siding

    If budget is your primary concern, you can’t go wrong with vinyl. There are finishes and colours to fit any design vision, and it installs quickly. When you need to renovate a rental property quickly or refresh your home affordably before putting it on the market, vinyl siding is a standout choice.

    2. Fiber Cement Siding

    AKA James Hardie siding, fiber cement mixes just that – cement and cellulose fibers – to create a super-strong exterior barrier. James Hardie siding resists impacts and lifting from Calgary storms and won’t warp or melt under normal weather conditions.

    3. Metal Siding

    The metal here is steel, and it’s entirely non-combustible. Below-freezing temps are a non-issue (it thrives), and the intense summer sun won’t cause fading. Choose metal, and you’ll have up to 70 years of solid home protection.

    4. Engineered Wood Siding

    With engineered wood siding, you get the all-important wood-look and texture without worrying about uneven fading or regular refinishing. And it’s specifically made to last through all the temperature fluctuations, wind, and snow Calgary can throw its way.

    5. Cedar Siding

    Timeless, rustic, and warm sums up cedar siding perfectly. The distinctive, rich wood tones, natural insulation properties, and ease of repair also make this type of siding installation in Southwest Calgary a solid choice. And if you want to transition away from the natural colour or your original colour selection, it’s one of the easiest materials to repaint.

    6. LUX Panel Siding

    This premium siding for Southwest Calgary has a lot going for it: clean lines, wood-look without the maintenance, and exceptional durability to combat everything from Calgary’s freeze-thaw cycles to rot or insect damage.

    7. AL-13 Siding

    AL-13 cladding is a lightweight aluminum panel system with concealed fasteners for a sleek appearance. The built-in rainscreen system does wonders for moisture management. No caulking or adhesives are needed, so there’s no degradation due to sun and other weather.

    8. Longboard Siding

    Longboard siding is a material that basically looks good with anything. Used on its own, it’s eye-catching, but it’s also great when paired with brick or fiber cement siding. However you incorporate it, you get a truly elegant exterior upgrade that lasts.

    9. Aluminum Siding

    Aluminum siding doesn’t warp, rust, or crack; it can usually be repainted; it’s non-combustible; it comes in lots of different finishes. Its flexibility meets the demands of Calgary’s climate and your planned design.

    10. EasyTrim Siding

    A combo of high-quality aluminum panels and trim that snap into place, EasyTrim makes for fast yet fabulous siding renovations. No exposed fasteners, so all that’s left are crisp architectural lines and a fade-resistant finish.

    FAQ

    • faq icon

      How Do You Put Up Siding?

      • Installing siding in Calgary starts with removing old siding and inspecting the surface for damage.
      • Next, a weather-resistant barrier is applied to protect against moisture. For vinyl, fiber cement, or engineered wood siding, starter strips and corner posts are installed first.
      • Each siding panel is then placed securely, leaving space for expansion and contraction. Nails or screws hold the panels in place without over-tightening. Trim and flashing are then added for a clean, sealed finish.
    • faq icon

      How Do You Know When It’s Time to Replace Your Siding?

      Old or damaged siding in Calgary can lead to bigger problems if left unchecked.

      • Watch for cracks, warping, or gaps, as these allow moisture to seep in, causing rot and mold.
      • Peeling paint or fading colour means the siding is no longer protecting your home.
      • If you notice high energy bills, poor insulation could be the cause.
      • Loose or missing panels can also indicate structural damage.

      Ignoring these issues can lead to expensive repairs, so if you think it’s time for new siding, contact us for a free estimate!

    • faq icon

      Should You Replace or Repair Your Siding?

      Minor damage like small cracks, loose panels, or isolated fading can often be repaired. However, if you notice widespread warping, rot, or mold, a full siding replacement may be the best option. High energy bills and interior moisture issues can also mean your siding is no longer protecting your home properly. If your siding is over 20 years old, replacement is usually more cost-effective than constant repairs. New siding improves energy efficiency, curb appeal, and long-term durability.

    • faq icon

      Is Vertical or Horizontal Siding Better?

      • Horizontal siding is the most common option because it’s affordable, easy to install, and has a classic look. It works well on most homes and comes in a variety of materials like vinyl, fiber cement, and engineered wood.
      • Vertical siding creates a modern, eye-catching design and is easier to clean since water runs straight down. It’s often used for accent walls or contemporary homes. While installation takes longer, many people love the final result. In the end, the best choice is the one that meets your goals for the project.
    • faq icon

      How Much is Vinyl Siding Per Square Foot?

      For a 1,500 sq. ft. home in Calgary, vinyl siding starts at $5.00 per square foot. The total cost typically falls between $7,500 and $12,000, depending on the materials and any prep work needed before installation.

      Several factors can affect the final price, including the style of vinyl siding, the number of corners and trim pieces, and whether old siding needs to be removed. Homes with more detailed designs or additional insulation may cost more, while straightforward installations tend to stay on the lower end of the price range.

    • faq icon

      What is the Best Siding for Canadian Winters?

      The best siding for Canadian winters (especially in Calgary) needs to handle freezing temperatures, heavy snow, and moisture without warping, cracking, or rotting.

      • James Hardie fibre cement siding is one of the most popular options because it offers fire resistance, impact protection, and long-lasting colour retention.
      • Engineered wood siding provides the look of natural wood with added moisture resistance, making it a great cold-weather option.
      • For homeowners wanting low-maintenance choices, metal siding (steel or aluminum) stands up to snow, wind, and ice without absorbing moisture.
      • Vinyl siding is a cost-effective solution that resists warping and cracking in extreme cold.
    • faq icon

      What is the Most Cost-Effective Exterior Siding?

      The most cost-effective exterior siding depends on upfront cost, product longevity, and maintenance needs.

      • Vinyl siding is the most affordable option (starting at $5.00 per square foot) and requires little upkeep. It resists moisture, won’t crack in freezing temperatures, and comes in a variety of styles and colours.
      • For those looking for a balance of strength and affordability, engineered wood siding and fiber cement siding (James Hardie®) offer longer lifespans with more resistance to weather damage. While they cost more upfront, they require fewer repairs and last decades.
      • Metal siding is another strong option but can be pricier.
    • faq icon

      What is the Best Siding for Alberta?

      • The best siding for Alberta needs to handle freezing winters, strong winds, heavy snow, and temperature swings without warping, cracking, or fading. James Hardie® fibre cement siding is one of the top options and lasts for decades with minimal upkeep.
      • If you’re looking for low-maintenance and budget-friendly options, engineered wood siding provides natural wood appeal with added strength while metal siding (steel or aluminum) provides superior weather resistance and longevity. Vinyl siding is also a cost-effective choice that’s moisture-resistant and requires little maintenance. The best siding therefore depends on your budget, home style, and long-term needs.
