Testimonials
What Calgarians Are Saying:
Exterior Renovations
Our stucco was in okay shape structurally but looked absolutely terrible – faded, patchy, hairline cracks everywhere. We got quotes for full stucco replacement ($38K+) and Klodian suggested elastomeric paint as an alternative. He repaired the cracks first, then his crew applied two coats of elastomeric paint that actually bridges small cracks and flexes with temperature changes. Total cost was under $12,000 and our house looks brand new. Klodian was clear that this wasn’t a forever fix if the stucco substrate was failing, but ours was sound – he just needed to seal and protect it. If someone had tried to sell us full replacement I would have felt ripped off. Honest recommendation and great execution.

Vinyl to fiber-cement
We replaced our 25-year-old vinyl siding with James Hardie fiber cement. The difference is night and day – the house looks like a completely different property! HKS handled the full removal, installed building wrap, and put up the Hardie board with proper flashing at every window and door. The project took about three weeks which was a bit longer than the original two-week estimate – a couple of days lost to rain.. Communication was good throughout though. Klodian called when the delay happened and explained the situation instead of just going quiet. The finished product is solid and we’re already seeing less noise from wind hitting the house.

Siding Lap Replacement
Our builder used the cheapest lap siding possible when the house was new in 2014 and after ten Alberta winters it was warped, cracked, and pulling away from the wall on the west-facing side. HKS replaced the damaged sections with proper Hardie lap siding and matched the paint to our existing colour. They didn’t try to upsell us on doing the whole house – just fixed what needed fixing and told us the other three sides still had a few good years left. Crew was respectful, cleaned up daily, and the repaired wall blends in perfectly. You can’t tell which sections are new and which are original.
