Siding that changes the look — and protects what is behind it.

Siding is the first line of defence for the walls of your home. In Calgary it has to deal with strong sun, wind, freeze-thaw cycles, sudden temperature swings and hail. A good siding project is not just about covering the house. It is about choosing a material that fits the home, preparing the wall correctly, managing water around windows and doors, and finishing every transition cleanly.

We install siding as a complete exterior system, with attention to weather barrier, flashing, clearances, trims and the final appearance.

James Hardie siding and trim on a residential home

James Hardie fibre cement siding

A premium siding choice for homeowners who want a clean, substantial exterior and long-term durability.

James Hardie is fibre cement siding made for homeowners who want more than a basic exterior finish. It is available in lap siding, board-and-batten, shingle-style products and architectural panels, so it can work on traditional homes, contemporary renovations and custom new builds.

Its biggest visual advantage is that it creates crisp, straight lines and a more solid appearance than many lighter siding products. It also accepts detailed trim packages very well, which is why it is often used when the goal is to completely modernize an older Calgary home.

For Calgary conditions, proper installation is especially important. Clearances from roofs, decks and grade, correct flashing around openings, and correct fastening all affect how the system performs over time.

  • Premium appearance
  • Many profiles and colours
  • Good choice for full exterior transformations
  • Works well with board-and-batten and panel designs

Vinyl siding

A practical, low-maintenance option that gives homeowners a lot of colour and profile choice at a more accessible budget.

Vinyl siding is common across Calgary because it is lightweight, low maintenance and relatively quick to install when the wall is properly prepared. It is a strong fit for homeowners who want a clean refresh without moving into a premium material price range.

Modern vinyl is available in more colours and profiles than many homeowners expect. It can look very sharp on detached homes, garages, additions and partial elevations when the trims and transitions are handled carefully.

The main Calgary consideration is hail. Vinyl can crack, puncture or shatter when struck by severe hail, particularly as material ages or in colder conditions. That does not make vinyl a bad choice, but it is an important trade-off to understand when comparing materials.

  • Lower starting cost
  • Very low maintenance
  • Wide colour selection
  • Fast, clean exterior refresh

LP SmartSide engineered wood siding and trim

LP SmartSide engineered wood siding

A strong middle ground between the warmth of wood and the lower-maintenance performance homeowners expect from a modern siding system.

LP SmartSide is an engineered wood siding product designed to give the home a real wood-inspired appearance without relying on traditional untreated wood siding. It is available in lap siding, panels, vertical applications and trim, making it very flexible for modern farmhouse, craftsman and contemporary exterior designs.

One reason homeowners like LP SmartSide is the depth and texture. It can create a warmer, more architectural look than standard vinyl, while still giving installers the ability to build crisp corners, wide trims, board-and-batten sections and feature elevations.

It is also useful when a homeowner wants a premium-looking exterior but prefers the character of wood over fibre cement. The finished appearance can feel softer and more natural, especially when combined with stone, dark windows or wood-look soffits.

Like any engineered wood product, installation details matter. Proper flashing, clearances and sealed cut edges are important to help the product perform as intended over time.

  • Wood-inspired texture
  • Lap, panel and vertical styles
  • Strong design flexibility
  • Pairs well with modern trims and accents

What hail can do to siding

Calgary hail can affect every siding material differently. Vinyl may crack, split or puncture. Fibre cement can chip or fracture under severe impact. Engineered wood and metal systems can show dents, surface damage or impact marks depending on the storm.

The most important issue is not just how the wall looks after a storm. Cracks, broken edges and loosened pieces can create paths for moisture and make future damage worse. Colour matching can also become difficult when older siding has faded or a profile has been discontinued.

After a major hail event, we look at the entire elevation — not just the most obvious damaged panel — to determine whether a repair, partial replacement or full replacement makes the most sense.

Siding options, side by side

There is no single siding material that is best for every homeowner. The right choice depends on the look you want, your budget, maintenance expectations and how much hail resistance matters to you.

Explore James Hardie profiles and colours or vinyl siding options. If your existing siding has limited damage, compare siding repair with a complete siding replacement before planning installation.

How we install siding properly

1. Assess the wall

Layout, fastening, clearances, trims and transitions are completed according to the material and the design of the home.

4. Finish & inspect

We check lines, trims, penetrations and cleanup so the finished exterior looks complete from the curb and up close.
