Overview

Millennium Building & Construction installs, replaces and repairs siding across Calgary and the surrounding area. Vinyl, fibre cement, wood and metal, on new builds and existing homes. Written scope, fixed quote, and one crew from tear-off to final trim.

Siding replacement

New siding is only as good as what is behind it. When we take the old cladding off we inspect the sheathing for rot and moisture, replace anything that has failed, and put a continuous weather-resistive barrier back on before any siding goes up. Windows and doors get proper flashing so water is turned outward at every opening.

Then the siding is installed to the manufacturer’s instructions — fastening schedule, expansion gaps, clearances above grade and roofs. Trim, corners and the clean-up finish the job.

Fastening, expansion gaps and clearances are the details that decide whether a wall lasts twenty years or starts buckling and leaking in three.

Replacing stucco with siding

A lot of Calgary homes built in the 1980s and 1990s have stucco that is now cracking, staining or letting water in. Patching rarely solves it, because the problem is usually the moisture management behind it. Removing the stucco and re-cladding with a modern siding system gives you a properly flashed and drained wall, and lets you change the look of the house completely.

Siding materials

We will lay out the trade-offs against your budget and the look you want rather than steering you to one product.

  • Vinyl

    The cost-effective, low-maintenance option, in a wide range of profiles and colours. Lighter than other materials, and brittle in deep cold, so it needs careful handling in winter.

  • Fibre cement

    The category James Hardie made popular. Heavier and costs more, but non-combustible, stable through temperature swings, and takes paint well. Needs correct fastening to perform.

  • Engineered wood

    The look of wood with better stability and moisture resistance than solid lumber, and lighter than fibre cement.

  • Metal

    Suits modern designs and commercial buildings, and is very durable.

Hail and storm damage

Hail usually hits one side of a house hardest. Vinyl cracks or holes, fibre cement chips at the edges, and soffit and eavestroughs dent. Whether the damaged sections can be replaced on their own depends on whether the product and colour are still available and how sound the wall behind is. We will tell you honestly which situation you are in, and document the damage for your insurer.

Soffit, fascia and trim

Vented soffit is the intake for your attic ventilation, so it matters for your roof as much as for the look of the house. We install aluminum soffit and cap wood fascia in aluminum so it stops needing paint every few years, and finish corners, windows and transitions with trim that sheds water properly.

What Calgary’s climate asks of siding

Siding here goes through wide temperature swings — sometimes in a single day when a Chinook comes through — along with strong UV at altitude, wind-driven rain and snow, and hail. Materials move with temperature, so expansion gaps and fastening have to allow for it. The weather barrier behind the cladding is what keeps the wall dry when water gets past the face, and in this climate it always eventually does.

Multi-family and commercial cladding

We also re-clad condominium buildings, multi-family properties and commercial buildings, where the scope often includes the full building envelope. Work is phased so occupied buildings stay usable, and we coordinate with boards and property managers on schedule and access.

How much does new siding cost in Calgary?

It depends on the wall area, the material, what has to be removed, how much sheathing needs repair, and how many windows, doors and corners there are. We give you a fixed, written quote after walking the walls.

What is the best siding for Calgary’s climate?

There is no single answer. Fibre cement handles temperature swings and fire well, vinyl is the most cost-effective and low-maintenance, and engineered wood gives a natural look with good stability. What matters most is that it is installed correctly over a proper weather barrier.

Can siding be installed in winter?

Yes, with limits. Vinyl gets brittle in deep cold and has to be handled carefully, and caulking and paint have minimum temperatures. We schedule around the weather and the material.

Do I need a permit to replace my siding in Calgary?

Replacing siding on a house like-for-like generally does not need a building permit in Calgary. Changing window or door openings or the structure of a wall can. We confirm what your job needs and pull any permits before we start.

Can you replace only the damaged sections?

Often, yes — if the product and colour are still available and the wall behind is sound. Older or discontinued colours can be hard to match, and we will tell you if a partial repair will look patched.

How long does a siding job take?

Most homes take between one and two weeks, depending on the size of the house and the material. Complex homes or stucco removal take longer.

Is it worth replacing stucco with siding?

If your stucco is cracking, staining or letting water in, usually yes. Re-cladding fixes the moisture management behind the wall, which patching does not, and lets you update the look of the house.

Do you do soffit, fascia and eavestroughs too?

Yes, either with a siding or roofing job or on their own.
