Siding Contractors Calgary for Premium Exterior Renovations

Signs that you need new siding installed include visible cracks, warping, rotting, peeling paint, mould or mildew growth, and high energy bills due to poor insulation. If your siding is over 20 years old, it may also be time for an upgrade.

The best siding for Calgary homes depends on durability, maintenance, and budget. Fibre cement (Hardie board) and engineered wood (LP SmartSide) are popular choices because they perform well in extreme weather - they’re more resistant to hail, high winds and extreme cold than vinyl siding, and offer a premium look and finish. 

In Calgary, you generally do not need a permit for simple siding replacement if you are using similar, lightweight materials (like vinyl, wood, or aluminum) and not making structural changes. A building permit is required if the project involves altering structural components, changing exterior wall sheathing, or if it is part of a larger addition.

Most siding installation projects take 1–2 weeks, depending on the size of the home, material selection, weather conditions, and the complexity of the job. Your contractor will provide a detailed timeline before work begins.

1. Look for a siding contractors in Calgary who focus on quality vs. just price. Fun fact: the majority of siding replacement companies pay their installers based on piecework instead of hourly.  This means the faster they work, the faster they earn, potentially leading to shortcuts or shoddy workmanship.  LivingScape pays our installers by the hour to ensure your project gets the attention and care it deserves.

2. Look for experienced siding contractors with strong local reviews, proper certifications, and a portfolio of completed projects.

3. Look for a company that's been in business for AT LEAST 10 years or more. Choosing a company with a track record helps ensure they’ll be around to service you for the long haul.
