Do I need a permit to replace siding in Edmonton?

For a like-for-like re-clad on a standard residential property, generally no. Changes to the building envelope's insulation, additions, or work on heritage-designated and mature-area overlay properties can trigger a permit. We check your address during the measure and tell you either way.

How far into winter can you work in Edmonton?

We install through most of the winter. Cutting and fastening fibre cement is fine in the cold; sealants and caulking are not, so those are held for a warm window. We will be direct about what can and cannot be completed before spring.

Which Edmonton neighbourhoods do you work in?

All of them. We do a high volume in Terwillegar, Windermere, Riverbend and the southwest generally, and regular work in Glenora, Crestwood, Griesbach, Laurel and Summerside.

How quickly can you come out for a quote?

Usually within three to five business days across Edmonton, and often sooner. The measure takes about 45 minutes and you get a fixed written price, not a range.

Based in Terwillegar — 20 minutes to most Edmonton addresses

We are based on Terwillegar Drive, which means most Edmonton addresses are a twenty-minute drive from our shop. That matters more than it sounds: it is why we can get to a site the morning after a wind event, and why our crews are not burning an hour of your project each way.

Edmonton's freeze-thaw cycle is the harshest test an exterior wall in Canada faces. We detail every wall assuming water will get behind the cladding at some point — because eventually it does.

Mature neighbourhoods like Glenora, Crestwood and Parkallen frequently hide 1950s sheathing with no water-resistive barrier at all. We budget inspection time into every re-clad quote in these areas rather than surprising you with a change order.

New southwest and southeast communities are dominated by tall, narrow elevations with complex rooflines. Those need scaffold and staged sequencing — not two ladders and optimism.

City of Edmonton development permits are not usually required for like-for-like siding replacement, but heritage-designated and mature-area overlay properties can differ. We flag it during the measure.

“They pulled the old siding off, found rot under two windows we had no idea about, photographed it, priced the repair the same day and carried on. No drama, no padding.”
