What to Expect

What to Expect from Cedar Siding in Calgary

01

Real maintenance commitment.

Cedar needs re-staining or re-oiling every 3 to 7 years depending on exposure, finish type, and colour. Skipping that schedule is the single biggest cause of premature cedar failure in Calgary.

02

Woodpecker damage.

Calgary woodpeckers can punch holes through cedar siding looking for insects, nest sites, or drumming spots. CPR Group replaces and colour-matches damaged pieces, and can recommend deterrents

03

Hail impact.

Cedar is softer than fiber cement or metal, so hail can leave dents, splits, and impact cracks. Insurance claims often cover cedar replacement after significant hail events.

04

Service life expectations.

Properly installed and maintained cedar typically lasts 20 to 40 years in Calgary. Engineered wood alternatives can push that service life further with less maintenance, at the cost of some of the natural character.
