Siding Materials We Install in Calgary
Calgary’s climate demands siding that can handle intense summer hail, sustained wind from the Prairies, and harsh freeze-thaw cycles. We install three primary material options, each with distinct advantages for Alberta homeowners.
Vinyl Siding is affordable and low-maintenance, but Calgary hail can crack panels and impact resistance varies by grade. We source heavy-duty vinyl engineered to withstand Alberta weather.
James Hardie Fibre-Cement is our premium choice. It resists hail better than vinyl, won’t warp in freeze-thaw cycles, and holds colour through decades of UV exposure on south-facing walls. The trade-off is slightly higher cost and longer installation.
Metal and Aluminum Siding offers superior hail resistance and durability in extreme wind, though dents can occur and thermal expansion requires careful installation in Calgary’s temperature swings. We use proper fastening and ventilation to prevent moisture problems.
Signs Your Siding Needs Repair or Replacement
Don’t wait for water damage to appear inside — catch siding problems early. Watch for these common warning signs that Calgary siding faces:
Cracking and Splitting — Freeze-thaw cycles cause vinyl and fibre-cement to crack; small splits spread quickly in Alberta winters.
Warping and Buckling — Moisture behind siding or improper fastening causes panels to bow outward, especially visible on south-facing walls after hot summers.
Fading and Discoloration — Calgary’s intense UV exposure fades south-facing siding faster than north-facing; severe fading signals age and material breakdown.
Moisture Behind Boards — Soft spots, mold, or water staining on interior walls means siding isn’t shedding water properly — a sign replacement is near.
Loose Panels After Hailstorms — High-impact hail can loosen fasteners and crack panels; missing caulk and gaps allow water infiltration that damages framing.
Pest Entry Points — Gaps in siding invite insects and small rodents; damaged caulk is the usual culprit.
If you spot any of these, call us for a free assessment before the damage spreads.
Our Siding Installation Process
Every siding project follows a structured process to ensure proper installation and lasting performance in Calgary’s climate.
Free In-Home Assessment — We inspect your existing siding, check for moisture damage, assess wall condition, and recommend material and coverage options suited to your home’s exposure (wind, hail, sun).
Material and Colour Selection — Browse samples in natural daylight on your home; we discuss durability ratings, warranty coverage, and how different materials age in Alberta weather.
Removal of Old Siding — We remove existing siding carefully, inspect the wall sheathing and framing for damage, and address any moisture or structural issues before new material goes up.
Installation — Proper fastening, flashing, and ventilation are critical in Calgary’s climate. We install according to manufacturer specs and local building code, paying close attention to seams and transitions where water infiltration starts.
Final Cleanup and Inspection — All debris is removed, the property is cleaned, and we walk through the finished work so you understand your new siding’s care and warranty coverage.
