Our testimonials

"Great installation, wonderful experience"

We hired this company to remove and replace our old, worn-out siding. The General Manager, Alex, was friendly and personable. He helped us look at all of our options and made recommendations on the materials that would best fit our needs. We took a while to decide on the products we would use, but the company was very patient about it. Once we had made up our minds, Alex ordered the materials and sent out his crew to start in on demolition. The process was somewhat lengthy, but the crew was never a bother. The site was cleaned up every day, and we really liked the people who were working here.

"Reliable, capable crew!"

Alex, the manager, made sure we had all of the information about the different types of siding and their pros and cons. He was also straightforward about pricing for each. Working together, and within my limited budget, we decided that it would be best to replace two of the exterior walls now, and replace the rest in a few years. I would gladly recommend this company to anyone.

"Thanks so much, Calgary Siding!"

The last time the siding on our house was replaced was over 35 years ago. The exterior was in dire need of replacement. I called around to a number of contractors and wound up with four different quotes. The company gave me the best price. They were quick and efficient with their work, and their installation of our new Hardie siding was flawless. I don’t know how they were able to give me such a good deal.

Christie C.

"Top-Notch Work!"

We could not have chosen a better company to work with on our home renovation project. Alex was absolutely fantastic and made sure that we knew how the work was progressing at all times. Because our hose is so close to our neighbor’s, it wasn’t a simple job, but they made it look easy. Every member of the crew was friendly, and they worked hard to stay on our established timeline and within our budget. Thank you so much!
