Siding in Alberta

Siding in Alberta takes the brunt of frigid weather and blustery winds. Like roofing, siding in Alberta is the first layer of defence from the cold, wet conditions common to this rough and tough part of Canada. Property owners in Alberta need siding that withstands the elements and in order for such an important component of home and building construction, it needs to be of superior quality. Not only must the siding material itself be top quality, like the James Hardie siding used by West Quality & Exteriors, but it must also be installed with expertise. No matter how good the quality of a siding product is, if it’s not applied to your home or building properly, it won’t last, nor will it achieve the insulation performance one expects in a superior siding product.

One of the primary concerns of Alberta homeowners and business owners who are considering new siding is whether or not the siding is of a high enough quality to withstand the Alberta weather. Alberta and Calgary see a fair share of extreme temperatures, wind, and precipitation, so siding needs to stand up to the harshest elements and look great season after season. West Quality & Exteriors, is committed to ensuring that property owners throughout the Alberta have access to affordable, high-quality siding that is able to withstand whatever Alberta throws at it.

Roofing companies in Alberta don’t frequently tout their skills in siding applications because most roofing contractors specialize in roofing. Not only hasWest Quality & Exteriors, mastered the art of roof replacement and repair for Alberta property owners, but we are also a siding contractor.

There are a few types of popular siding materials – vinyl, wood, and metal, as well as manufactured fiber siding which has grown in popularity.

Types of Siding
