Siding, Eavestrough & Storm Repair in Cochrane, AB
Cochrane sits on the Bow River at the edge of the foothills, closer to the mountains than the other communities we serve. Sidhu Siding Ltd. is based in northeast Calgary and takes on exterior work for Cochrane homeowners. Wind, slope and hail shape most of the decisions here.
Foothills wind
Chinook winds are part of life in this corner of Alberta, and Cochrane is nearer the foothills than most of the Calgary region. Gusty days work on anything that is not fastened properly: siding that was nailed too tight cannot flex, soffit panels loosen and shingle tabs lift. We fasten siding to move with the wall and check the roofline details that wind goes after first.
Slopes, walkouts and tall walls
Hillside lots and walkout basements are common around Cochrane, which gives a house a tall wall on the downhill side. That affects access (lifts or scaffolding instead of a ladder), the amount of material and how long the job takes. We look at the full height of each elevation during the site visit and quote for the access it needs.
Getting water away from a sloped lot
On a slope, where the downspouts discharge is as important as the eavestrough itself. Water that is dumped against a foundation or onto a steep bank can cause trouble later. When we replace or add eavestrough here, we plan the downspout locations and extensions around the grade of the lot.

Can strong winds damage siding?
Yes. Wind can lift poorly fastened siding and soffit, and flying debris can damage panels. Siding that is nailed tight cannot flex with temperature changes, which makes it more likely to crack or buckle. Correct fastening is the best protection.
My house is a walkout on a slope. Does that change the quote?
It can. A tall downhill wall needs lifts or scaffolding and more material. We measure every elevation on the site visit and put access and material into the itemized quote.
