WHERE THE FIRST THING WE BUILD IS TRUST
CPR Group Ltd installs and repairs James Hardie fiber cement siding on residential and commercial properties across Calgary. James Hardie is the most durable siding product for Alberta's climate, engineered to resist hail, UV, freeze-thaw cycles, and fire, but it's also heavier, more labour-intensive, and far more sensitive to installation errors than standard vinyl.
Since 2007, CPR Group has installed fiber cement siding following the manufacturer's specifications for flashing, fasteners, seam treatment, and clearances, which is what keeps the product performing for the full 30-plus year service life.
Since 2007, CPR Group Ltd has served Calgary and Southern Alberta with full-service roofing, property restoration, and exterior renovations.
We offer a comprehensive range of James Hardie fiber cement siding services tailored to meet the specific needs of Calgary residents and businesses:
CPR Group installs James Hardie plank, panel, and trim products on Calgary homes and commercial buildings, following manufacturer specifications for fastener placement, seam flashing, and clearances to grade and roof.
Our crew replaces damaged planks after hail, impact, or water damage, and re-seals butt joints where caulking has failed.
CPR Group handles complete James Hardie replacement projects, including tear-off of the existing cladding, inspection and repair of the housewrap and sheathing, and install of the new fiber cement system.
Our team installs James Hardie on commercial properties across Calgary, backed by SECOR safety certification and commercial general liability coverage.
CPR Group's HAAG Certified Inspectors document hail damage to fiber cement siding and work directly with insurance adjusters on approved replacement claims.
Since 2007
CPR Group Ltd, a full-service exterior renovation in Calgary, has installed James Hardie fiber cement siding across the city since 2007. Fiber cement is one of the most durable cladding products available, with Class 4 impact resistance available on most profiles, excellent fire performance, and a 30-plus-year service life when installed correctly.
The catch is that Hardie demands tight installation discipline: fastener placement, seam flashing, edge clearances, and caulking sequence all have to follow manufacturer's spec. CPR Group's formal building science training and HAAG Certified Inspectors on staff mean every detail gets verified before the job closes.
Every CPR Group James Hardie project is backed by $5 million in commercial general liability coverage through Federated Insurance, SECOR safety certification, active WCB-Alberta coverage since February 2013, membership in the Alberta Allied Roofing Association (AARA) since 2021, and a BBB A+ accreditation held continuously since July 2015.
CPR Group serves Calgary, Airdrie, Okotoks, Chestermere, Strathmore, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Brooks, and High River.
Our Process
Before any tear-off or install, CPR Group's HAAG Certified Inspectors check the existing siding, housewrap, sheathing, and trim details so the new James Hardie system goes onto a sound substrate.
Our inspection produces photos, measurements, and a written scope of work. If you're filing an insurance claim for hail-damaged siding, this documentation meets adjuster requirements. If you're paying out of pocket, it gives you a clear picture of what you're approving.
CPR Group follows James Hardie installation specifications for fastener placement, seam flashing, butt joints, edge clearances, and caulking sequence, the details that determine whether the product performs for its full 30-plus year service life.
A senior crew lead inspects every completed James Hardie project before CPR Group closes the job. That final check confirms flashing, fasteners, and clearances are right, so the cladding holds up to Calgary's hail, freeze-thaw cycles, and chinook winds.
Why It Performs
Fiber cement resists hail impact far better than vinyl and aluminum. Most James Hardie profiles carry Class 4 impact ratings, the highest available.
Calgary sees dozens of freeze-thaw cycles per winter. Vinyl and aluminum expand and contract aggressively through these cycles, but fiber cement remains dimensionally stable, so fasteners and seams hold up longer.
James Hardie products are non-combustible, an advantage in wildfire-prone areas and a reason many insurance carriers view fiber cement as a lower risk than wood or vinyl.
A properly installed James Hardie system lasts 30 to 50 years in Calgary's climate, which is longer than most competing siding products.
