EasyTrim
Easily installed siding such as the quick panel systems stand up to the rugged weather of Alberta. We have installed these advanced systems in residential and commercial properties across Edmonton and Calgary and have seen them withstand extreme weather conditions including extreme cold of the winter and extreme heat of the summer. That is why the Easy Trim quick panel system is different from other siding solutions: it’s not only durable, but also smart – the design that fits our climate and offers an elegant look.
EasyTrim Benefits
Types of EasyTrim Systems
-
Vertical Panels
EasyTrim quick panels are the new age siding which are focused on the verticality of the design to create striking and elegant facades. To this end, the panels have been fine tuned for use in the Alberta climate to avoid common problems such as warping or wrinkling due to thermal expansion. The panels are designed to fit perfectly and form a seal as would be expected by a professional. But with built-in drainage features, vertical EasyTrim panels also offer protection from water penetration, giving you both the style and the durability you need for many years.
Colors and Finishes
The EasyTrim product range comes in various finishes that will suit any design of the building. From the natural tones that easily fit into the Alberta environment to the bright colors that will catch your eye and stand out, each finish is designed to withstand the harsh UV rays and extreme temperature changes here.
EasyTrim Costs: What to Expect
The cost of your EasyTrim quickpanel system will depend on several key factors, which, once understood, will help you plan an investment and make the right decision for your property.
-
Scope of Project
iThe size of your project as a whole is one of the major factors that define the cost of siding. This is because when the size of the installation increases, more materials and work are needed, and this therefore means that the cost will also rise.
-
Installation Expertise
iProfessional installers will install your EasyTrim panels following the manufacturer’s guidelines and this help to maintain the quality of work and finish.
-
Additional Features
iOther details that may include custom trims, drainage systems or weather proofing details will also contribute towards the final cost.
-
Material Selection
iHigh-end finishes, textures or the wood plank EasyTrim panels will enhance the appearance of your design and are more expensive than the standard ones.
-
Surface Preparation
iAll you need is to prepare a good surface to perform well. This may include the removal of the old siding, repairs to the structures, or the adjustment of uneven surfaces to make them level for installation.
-
Design Difficulty
iWhen designing properties with complicated architectural details such as corners, unconventional roof lines or irregular shapes, more components may be needed and more skilled labor may be required.

The process of siding installation
-
Site Evaluation
It starts with evaluating your property. What makes your walls unique? Are there difficult angles or areas that tend to collect moisture? Thus, by considering these particularities in the advance planning stage we design a construction plan that responds to the needs of your home or building and there are no issues in the future.
-
Wall Preparation
To have the best siding, you need to have the right walls; that is why our walls are cleaned, repaired and leveled before siding is put on them. It will not be rushed, this means that proper preparation is done and the panels will be well secured, well aligned and weather proofed for a long duration.
-
Installation of Components
The EasyTrim quickpanels do not simply go up on the wall; each panel is measured, placed and secured in a way that allows it to expand and contract in response to thermal changes while maintaining a sleek and modern appearance that is characteristic of EasyTrim.
-
System Integration
No panel is an island. Drainage, flashing and other features are incorporated in a way that makes them work in concert. This makes sure that water moves where it should not and protects your home from the rough weather of Alberta.
-
Final Inspection
Before we load up and leave, we revis IT everything – and then twice. From the panel alignment to the water management system, every detail is carefully examined to make sure your EasyTrim siding is built to last and is as beautiful from a distance as it is up close.
EasyTrim QuickPanel Systems: The Siding Homeowners Need for Alberta’s Climate
Time is precious. You want your house looking its best as quickly as possible, and that’s exactly why our customers love EasyTrim QuickPanel systems. This metal siding is the ultimate protector against Alberta’s harsh weather; the shadow lines make it anything but boring, and the premium maintenance-free finish stays looking great for decades.
What Is the EasyTrim Quick Panel System?
The Easy Trim Quick Panel System is an engineered siding solution that’s robust and modern. Rather than overlapping boards like conventional vinyl siding, QuickPanel systems use large panels separated by precision-manufactured EasyTrim profiles.
The metal in EasyTrim Quick Panel Siding is high-quality aluminum. And with any aluminum siding product, rot, rust, and warping are never a concern. Keep water away from your home’s envelope easily due to the panels’ built-in drainage channels. This quick-to-install siding’s style works well by itself or in conjunction with other materials like fiber cement siding or engineered wood.
Why Do Alberta Homeowners Consistently Choose EasyTrim?
We can say that EasyTrim lasts and looks good, but why? Here’s exactly what you get if you install EasyTrim:
- Perfectly concealed fasteners for an uninterrupted exterior aesthetic.
- The ability to accommodate weather-related expansion and contraction.
- The flexibility to install the Easy Trim product vertically, horizontally, or in a custom combo.
- A long life (50 years+) with minimal upkeep.
- Resistance to mold and other moisture damage.
- Natural fire and pest resistance.
What About the Drawbacks of an EasyTrim System?
Although minimal, everyone considering Easy Trim installation should know that:
- You should hire professionals, like the team at Family Siding, to install it. Otherwise, you can get inconsistent lines and moisture damage.
- The panels are modern, so they won’t work with every style of home.
- An aluminum EasyTrim Quick Panel system costs more up front than alternatives like vinyl and fiber cement.
How Much Are Easy Trim QuickPanel Systems?
Looking at the material’s average, QuickPanel systems cost $22.00 per sq ft. More specifically, the range per sq ft is between $22.00 and $30.00. Since each project is different, your total project cost could be anywhere in this range. It will depend on accessibility, finishes, intricate details, insulation, and the removal of your existing siding, for example.
Using the average price as our guide, Alberta homeowners can expect to complete an Easy Trim Quick Panel installation on a 1,500 sq ft home for $33,000. This is a little pricier than other panel systems, like Lux and AL13, and metal Longboard siding.
Maintenance Needed for Easy Trim Quick Panel Siding
On the scale of maintenance requirements, EasyTrim scores well. The maintenance you’ll need to take on is likely already the routine things you’re doing anyway. Expect to wash it down and keep gutters and downspouts clear. It’s also a good idea to inspect everything seasonally. That way, you can monitor changes or things like storm damage.
Plus, there’s no need to refinish the metal surface every few years like you might have to do with some cedar or other wood siding options.
EasyTrim QuickPanel Siding Warranty & Installation Timeframe
The manufacturer gives a 15-year warranty on EasyTrim products.
As the name suggests, many EasyTrim installations can be done in 1-2 weeks.

FAQ
-
What makes EasyTrim different from other siding?
EasyTrim quickpanel systems are built to last and are based on a reputation for delivering durable performance in the most unfavorable conditions that Alberta weather can offer. Unlike other sidings, which, when exposed to extremely high or low temperatures, expand or contract, EasyTrim panels keep their shape and finish every year. This system provides a secure weather seal while also offering a clean and modern look. -
How is quickpanel installed?
This kind of panel is installed with a lot of precision and speed. All the components of EasyTrim are connected to the next one thus forming a barrier that is impermeable to water. Our team guarantees that every project is done right, which is how we have successfully installed hundreds of systems across Alberta. -
How easily are the EasyTrim products maintained?
This is where EasyTrim shines. Other types of siding must be painted or caulked on a regular basis while EasyTrim aluminum panels will look new without any paintings or caulking for years. They only need a thorough wipe down and they come out sleek after having been through serious weather conditions for years. -
How long does it take to install?
It may be said that it may take as long or as short depending on the size of your house you have. All in all, it takes roughly 1-2 weeks for the work to be completed. Our professional team work with efficiency in the installation of every project ensuring that all the details are well handled to give a professional finish. -
Is EasyTrim worth it?
It is, although the EasyTrim quickpanel systems are more costly as compared to other panel systems. It is a material that will outlive conventional siding, needs close to no maintenance, and will maintain its modern look for decades to come, all while offering the best performance on the market. -
