Why Siding Quality Matters in the Bow Valley
Siding is your home’s first line of defence against Canmore’s mountain climate, chinook wind-driven rain, heavy snow load, high-altitude UV, and sharp freeze-thaw swings that can crack, warp, or loosen poorly installed siding within a few seasons. Installed correctly, with proper flashing, drainage, and a continuous insulation layer, siding protects the structure underneath and keeps your energy bills down year-round.
Our Siding Installation Process
- Assessment and material selection — we inspect your existing exterior and recommend vinyl, fibre cement (Hardie board), or metal siding based on your home and budget.
- Removal and prep — old or damaged siding is removed and the sheathing underneath is checked for rot or moisture damage.
- Weatherproofing and insulation — a continuous weather-resistant barrier and insulation layer go on before the new siding, improving energy efficiency.
- Installation — siding, trim, fascia, and soffit are installed with the fastening and flashing details that hold up to Bow Valley wind and snow.
- Final inspection — we check seams, corners, and flashing before considering the job complete.
Siding Materials We Install
- Vinyl siding — low-maintenance and cost-effective
- Fibre cement / Hardie board — durable, fire-resistant, and built for harsh climates
- Metal siding — long-lasting protection with a modern look
- Trim, fascia & soffit — finished to match and protect roof edges
Once your siding is installed, our crew can also handle window renovations, decks and fences, and structural framing for additions, so one team carries your exterior project start to finish.

Siding Installation FAQs
What siding materials do you install?
We install vinyl, fibre cement (including Hardie board), and metal siding, chosen based on your home, budget, and how much exposure it gets to mountain weather.
How long does a siding installation take?
Most home exteriors take a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on size, material, and whether old siding needs to be removed first. We confirm a timeline before work begins.
Can you replace old or damaged siding?
Yes. We remove and replace worn, cracked, or water-damaged siding, and check the wall sheathing and insulation underneath while it is exposed.
Does new siding improve energy efficiency?
Yes. Proper siding installation includes a continuous insulation and weatherproofing layer, which reduces drafts and heat loss through the walls.
How does siding hold up to Bow Valley weather?
Canmore and the Bow Valley see chinook wind-driven rain, heavy snow, and big freeze-thaw swings. We install siding with proper flashing, drainage, and fastening so it stays sealed and intact through those conditions.
Do you handle insulation upgrades during siding work?
Yes. Siding replacement is a practical time to add or upgrade exterior insulation, since the wall is already exposed.
“Lane and the Old Goat team were incredibly reliable from start to finish. They renovated our main floor exactly as we envisioned, and even helped us improve a few design details we hadn’t thought about. The work was solid, clean, and on schedule. Highly recommend for anyone in Canmore.”
