Professional Siding Installation and Replacement
Siding is the protective cladding that covers your home’s exterior walls. Unlike roofing cochrane, which shields from above, siding defends against wind-driven rain, temperature swings, and impact damage at wall level. It also controls heat transfer through your walls, directly affecting your energy bills. In Calgary, where chinook winds can shift temperatures by 20 degrees in a single afternoon, the right siding keeps your home comfortable and your walls protected year-round. At Alibaba Roofing and Renovation Inc, we install, replace, and repair siding across Calgary, Cochrane, Okotoks, Chestermere, and Airdrie.

How Our Siding Installation Process Works
Step 1: Free On-Site Inspection and Estimate
We visit your property, assess the condition of your existing siding and wall sheathing, take measurements, and discuss your material preferences. You receive a detailed written quote within 48 hours that covers materials, labour, disposal, and a projected timeline for the project.
Step 2: Material Selection and Ordering
Once you approve the estimate, we guide you through colour, profile, and material options from our certified manufacturer partners. We order materials with confirmed delivery dates and schedule your installation window so everything arrives on time and ready to go.
Step 3: Old Siding Removal and Wall Inspection
Our crew strips the existing siding and inspects the sheathing, house wrap, and insulation beneath. We flag and repair any moisture damage, rot, or insulation gaps before new cladding goes on. This step prevents hidden problems from causing issues under your new siding.
Step 4: Professional Installation
We install your new siding following manufacturer specifications for fastening, overlap, and flashing at every window, door, and corner. Proper installation technique is what separates a siding job that lasts 30 years from one that fails in 10. Our crews follow a quality checklist on every project.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough and Cleanup
After installation is complete, we do a joint walkthrough with you to inspect every wall, seam, and trim detail. We clean up all debris, haul away old materials, and leave your property looking better than when we arrived. Your warranty documentation is provided the same day.
Siding Materials We Install
Choosing the right siding material depends on your budget, your home’s architectural style, your energy efficiency goals, and how long you plan to stay in the property. Here is a straightforward comparison of the options we install.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl remains the most popular siding material in Calgary for good reason. Modern insulated vinyl panels offer improved R-values over older products, resist fading and cracking, and require almost no maintenance beyond occasional washing. We install premium vinyl products rated for winds up to 180 km/h. Vinyl is the most affordable option per square foot and comes in dozens of colours and profiles, making it a strong choice for homeowners who want a fresh look without a heavy investment.
James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding
James Hardie fiber cement is the gold standard for durability in harsh climates. It resists hail impact, does not rot or warp, carries a Class A fire rating, and holds paint significantly longer than wood. We are certified James Hardie installers, which means your fiber cement siding is backed by their full 30-year warranty. Homeowners across Calgary neighbourhoods like Mount Royal, Altadore, and Elbow Park choose James Hardie when they want a premium, low-maintenance finish.
Cedar and Wood Siding
Cedar siding delivers a natural, rich appearance that suits heritage homes and mountain-style builds. Cedar’s natural oils resist insects and decay, and it provides solid insulation value. We install and stain cedar in board-and-batten, bevel, and tongue-and-groove profiles. Cedar does require periodic staining or sealing every five to seven years to maintain its protective properties and appearance in Calgary’s climate.
Engineered Wood and Composite Siding
Engineered wood products like LP SmartSide replicate the look of real wood without the maintenance. These panels resist moisture, termites, and fungal decay, and they hold paint longer than natural wood. Composite options from manufacturers like Allura offer similar benefits with added fire resistance. For homeowners who want wood aesthetics with vinyl-level maintenance, engineered wood and composite siding hit that middle ground.
Siding Services Across Calgary and Surrounding Communities
Our crews work throughout Calgary and the surrounding municipalities. Whether your home is in established communities like Mount Royal, Kensington, or Beltline, or newer developments in Seton, Cornerstone, or Glacier Ridge, we bring the same level of care and craftsmanship. We also serve Cochrane, Okotoks, Chestermere, and Airdrie with full siding installation, replacement, and repair services. Each community has its own building codes and architectural guidelines, and our 20 years of local experience means we know what is required before we arrive on site.
Calgary Weather and Your Siding: What Every Homeowner Should Know
Calgary’s climate puts serious stress on siding systems. Understanding the seasonal patterns helps you plan maintenance and catch problems early.
Chinook winds are the biggest threat to siding in Calgary. Rapid temperature swings from minus 20 to plus 10 degrees Celsius in a matter of hours cause vinyl panels to expand and contract aggressively, loosening fasteners and creating gaps. Fiber cement handles these cycles better due to its dimensional stability.
Hail season from June through August regularly damages exposed siding, especially older vinyl. Impact-rated fiber cement and thicker vinyl profiles absorb hail energy without cracking. If your current siding shows dents, chips, or cracks after a storm, call us for a free damage assessment before moisture works its way behind the panels and into your wall cavity.
Frequently Asked Questions About Siding
What siding materials do you offer?
We install vinyl, James Hardie fiber cement, cedar, engineered wood, and composite siding products. Each material has different strengths in terms of durability, maintenance, appearance, and cost. During your free on-site estimate, we walk you through samples and help you choose the option that fits your budget, style, and long-term goals for your home.
How long does siding last before it needs replacing?
Lifespan varies by material. Vinyl siding typically lasts 25 to 40 years. James Hardie fiber cement carries a 30-year warranty and often exceeds that in practice. Cedar lasts 20 to 30 years with regular maintenance. Engineered wood products fall in the 25 to 35 year range. Calgary’s weather can shorten these timelines if installation was not done correctly.
Can new siding improve my home's energy efficiency?
Yes. Modern insulated siding adds R-value to your walls, reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Replacing old, cracked, or poorly sealed siding eliminates drafts and air leakage. Many Calgary homeowners report noticeable reductions in their heating bills after a full re-siding, especially when we also upgrade the house wrap and address insulation gaps.
How much does siding installation cost in Calgary?
Cost depends on material choice, the size of your home, the complexity of the layout, and whether underlying repairs are needed. Vinyl is the most affordable, typically ranging from $6 to $10 per square foot installed. James Hardie fiber cement runs $12 to $18 per square foot. Cedar falls between $10 and $16. We provide detailed written estimates after an on-site inspection so you know the full cost upfront.
Do you remove and dispose of old siding?
Yes. Every siding replacement project includes full removal and disposal of your existing cladding. Our crew strips the old material, inspects the sheathing and moisture barrier underneath, makes any necessary repairs, and hauls all debris to an approved disposal facility. Your property is left clean and ready for the new installation.
Calgary Weather and Your Siding: Seasonal Maintenance Tips
Proactive maintenance extends the life of any siding system. Here is what we recommend for Calgary homeowners throughout the year.
Spring is the best time for a full visual inspection. Walk around your home and look for cracks, gaps, warping, or panels that have shifted during winter. Pay attention to seams around windows and doors where moisture entry is most likely. If you spot damage, addressing it early prevents water from reaching the sheathing and causing rot.
Summer maintenance is straightforward. Wash your siding with a garden hose and soft brush to remove dirt, pollen, and any mildew buildup. Avoid pressure washing vinyl at close range as the force can drive water behind panels. For cedar siding, summer is the ideal time to apply stain or sealant since the warm, dry conditions allow proper absorption and curing.
Fall preparation should focus on clearing any vegetation that touches your siding. Overhanging branches trap moisture and can scratch or dent panels during wind events. Check that all caulking around penetrations is intact before winter arrives. A small tube of exterior renovation caulk applied in September can prevent a costly repair in February.
