Core Renovations
Exterior renovations in Calgary
New facades built for Calgary's hail, chinooks and freeze-thaw cycles.
Calgary is hard on a house: summer hail, chinook temperature swings and months of freeze-thaw. An exterior renovation is a chance to fix what weather has done and to give the home a front elevation that matches what's inside.
Kay2 plans exterior work around the building envelope first, then the design. One crew handles siding, stucco, roofing, windows, doors and entries, so you aren't left coordinating four trades. On our Mayland Heights project, a dated 1987 facade became a clean modern elevation.
What's included
- Complete facade redesigns
- Siding replacement, including fibre cement and engineered wood
- Stucco repair and full re-stucco
- Roofing and hail damage repair
- Windows, doors and front entries

Local expertise
Exterior renovations in Calgary: what to know
Calgary sits in one of Canada's most active hail regions, and chinook winds can swing winter temperatures dramatically within hours. Exterior materials here need to resist impact, expansion and contraction, and moisture from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Kay2 plans exterior renovations around the building envelope as well as the look. We address flashing, sheathing and drainage under the new cladding, so the facade lasts as well as it photographs.
Proof, not promises

Kay2 won Best Exterior Renovation / Outdoor Living Space at the 2024 BILD Calgary Region Awards for "Modern Peaks", and was a finalist in the same category for "Rustic Retreat in Stanley Park" (2023) and "Bold Ascent" (2024).

What siding holds up best in Calgary?
It depends on the home, budget and look you want. Fibre cement and engineered wood are popular for durability against hail and temperature swings. Our guide to siding and roof materials covers the trade-offs.
Can you change the whole look of my home's exterior?
Yes. Facade redesigns can include new materials, windows, entries and rooflines. The Mayland Heights before-and-after on our projects page shows one example.
How much does new siding cost in Calgary?
Replacing the siding on an 1,800 sq ft Calgary home typically costs $28,000 to $65,000 in 2026, depending on the material. Fibre-cement siding runs about $12 to $22 per square foot installed.
How much do new windows cost in Calgary?
Replacing 12 to 18 windows on a typical Calgary home runs about $22,000 to $55,000, depending on the window type, size and finish.
How do I make my exterior more hail-resistant?
Choose impact-rated materials such as Class 4 shingles and fibre-cement siding, and detail them correctly. Our guide to hail-resistant exteriors in Calgary covers the options and the insurance considerations.
Do you repair hail damage?
Yes. Roofing and siding hail repairs are part of our exterior work, and we can combine them with upgrades while the crew is on site.
