In British Columbia’s crowded siding market, every contractor claims to be the best. But let’s be honest — “claims” don’t install themselves. Results do. Performance does. Reputation does. James Hardie is, without question, the most durable, most engineered, most weather-resistant siding product ever created for Canada’s climate. But here’s the truth that most homeowners never hear:
Hardie is only as good as the contractor who installs it.
BC is full of botched Hardie jobs — wavy walls, exposed nailing, poor flashing, failed rainscreens, mold growth, and siding that’s already failing after 3–5 years.
Why? Because many contractors think Hardie is “just another siding facade.” It’s not. Hardie requires precision. Training. Discipline. Building-science knowledge. And a team that actually cares, and follows industry standards that are always changing. That’s where XP dominates.
What Makes XP the #1 Hardie Siding Contractor in BC

Our crews train weekly on building-envelope techniques, rainscreen performance, fastening systems, and Hardie’s best practices for the BC climate. Your home is not a learning lesson. Your home is a multi-hundred-thousand-dollar asset, and we treat it accordingly.
2. XP Is Built Different: Young, Hungry, Fast, and Ruthlessly Detail-Oriented We’re not burnt-out old contractors doing “just enough.” We are the new generation of exterior specialists who: inspect every wall with laser levels snap every line with precision obsess over flashing, corners, and transitions communicate proactively show up early, stay late, and finish clean While others rely on excuses, we rely on execution.

4. XP is The Community Hero We are the company builders and homeowners call when their “cheaper” siding contractor disappears, screws up, or walks off-site.

We rescue Hardie.
