Siding Repairs Calgary | To keep your siding looking great and performing well for years to come, regular maintenance is key. We recommend periodic cleaning to remove dirt and debris, which can be gently done using a soft brush and a mild soapy solution. For vinyl and aluminum siding, a pressure washer on a low setting can be effective, but always be cautious to avoid water penetration into the seams. Additionally, inspect your siding annually for any signs of damage or wear, such as cracks or warping. Early detection of these issues can lead to quicker repairs, ultimately extending the life of your siding. Seal any cracks or gaps promptly to prevent moisture intrusion, which can lead to more serious damage. By following these simple tips and scheduling regular check-ups with our professional team, you can ensure that your home’s siding remains in pristine condition, enhancing both its aesthetic and functional longevity

Check for cracks and holes periodically, especially after severe weather. Seal any small holes with caulk that matches the color of the siding.

Wood siding should be repainted or stained every 3 to 5 years, and it should be treated with a water-repellent every few years to protect against moisture.
Fiber Cement Siding
Although it is highly durable, inspect the caulking annually and replace any that has cracked or deteriorated.

Apply a coat of car wax after cleaning to help maintain the siding’s luster and protect it from the elements.
