Siding & Cladding

Central Alberta is genuinely tough on exteriors — hail corridor, hard freeze-thaw cycles, extreme UV, and wet spring conditions. James Hardie fibre cement in the HZ5 formulation is engineered specifically for these conditions: non-combustible, pest- and rot-resistant, and available with a factory-baked ColorPlus finish that will not fade or peel. LP SmartSide is a strong engineered-wood option with zinc-borate treatment for fungal resistance and manufacturer coverage for hail up to 1.75 inches. Steel siding is virtually maintenance-free and handles hail and wind exceptionally well. The best choice depends on your home, your aesthetic goals, and how long you plan to hold the property — we help you decide during the estimate.

James Hardie fibre cement is a non-combustible, inorganic product — it will not rot, swell, or be eaten by insects, and it carries a 30-year non-prorated limited product warranty plus a 15-year ColorPlus finish warranty. LP SmartSide is a treated engineered wood that machines and installs like wood but resists decay and fungal growth; its 5/50 Limited Warranty includes labour for the first five years and covers hail damage up to 1.75 inches. Steel siding is the toughest surface for impact and wind, requires the least ongoing maintenance, and is non-combustible. All three are solid long-term choices for Alberta — the right one for your project depends on your priorities.

Yes, and it's a significant part of what we do. We understand that a builder's schedule is the job — if exterior finishing is delayed, every trade behind us is delayed. We show up on time, work to spec, and communicate clearly throughout. We can price a subdivision run to a standard specification or customise per lot. See our builders page for how we partner with new-home builders, or reach out to discuss your upcoming projects.

No. The price we quote is the price you pay — unless you change the scope of work during the project. We do not add costs for things we discover on the job that should have been included in the original scope. That commitment is backed by 20 years in business and an A+ BBB rating.

Yes. Every installation is covered by the manufacturer's product warranty — 30-year non-prorated for James Hardie substrate, 15-year for the ColorPlus finish, 5/50 for LP SmartSide — plus our workmanship warranty. Every job is also inspected before we close it out, which means warranty claims are rare because the installation is done right the first time.

James Hardie offers a wide range of profiles — lap, panel, board and batten, shingle — and the ColorPlus palette covers everything from classic whites and greiges to deep navies and charcoals. LP SmartSide is available in lap, panel, and trim profiles and can be factory-primed for custom paint or ordered in pre-finished options. Steel comes in a range of panel profiles and a broad colour selection. We walk you through the options during your estimate and can order samples to see against your home.

No. Exterior siding is installed entirely from outside the building — you do not need to vacate or close off rooms during the work. We work from ladders and scaffolding and keep the site clean and safe throughout. Most residential re-sides and new-build finishes are completed in a single scheduled block, so the disruption is contained and predictable, and we walk the finished work with you before we close out the job.

Absolutely. Lakefront and acreage homes in the Sylvan Lake, Gull Lake, and Buffalo Lake areas are a regular part of our work. These properties often have specific design goals — a premium finish that holds up in a high-UV, sometimes high-moisture lakefront environment — and we bring the same inspected workmanship we deliver in every Red Deer subdivision.
