Engineered Hardboard Siding Installation in Calgary

Signs include visible cracks, warping, rotting, peeling paint, mold 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.

Popular siding materials include vinyl, wood, fibre cement, and aluminum. The best choice depends on factors like durability, maintenance, cost, and aesthetic preferences.

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.

The duration depends on the size of your home, the weather, and the complexity of the job. Most siding replacements take 1-2 weeks.

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

2. Look for a company whose 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.
