We went with True Exteriors because of the professionalism and service. Quotes were all within similar ranges. I was able to go to their showroom and select everything with Chris who was excellent at pulling everything together to get the look we were going for. Marin the installer was exceptional. We had people stopping by on a daily basis commenting on his attention to detail and quality of work, Our house is very tall with lots of corners and difficult edges and Marin pieced everything together perfectly. > > I am thrilled with the end result. As our neighbours’ say, “it is transformative.” Highly recommend True Exteriors. Their entire team from start to finish is excellent. **★★★★★ — HU-473108550, May 2023** > Had galvalume metal and Hardie board siding done. It looks great! They seemed to be good at problem-solving too. My house had several challenges to work with, and they still managed to do a great job ! **★★★★★ — Dean Kokonas, March 2023** > We used Tru Exteriors to refurbish the exterior of our home. We bought an older house in an established neighbourhood. Our home is 50 years old, and it had a stucco exterior finish that looked like a committee of seven-year-olds had completed it. We decided the update the exterior with Hardy board. From start to finish, the craftsmanship and professionalism of Tru Exteriors were evident in every interaction and the quality of their work. The job was started in late November, which meant there were issues related to weather... couldn't be helped. The Tru professionWe used Tru Exteriors to refurbish the exterior of our home.

The job was started in late November, which meant there were issues related to weather... couldn't be helped. The Tru professionals handled the delays well and were able to work around the delays to complete the work as quickly as possible. Other issues related to the structure of the home. There isn't a single element of the house that is square. This posed some significant installation issues for the team. Nevertheless, they worked with what they had and were able to manage the weird angles like pros. Unless you know about the out-of-square walls, you cannot tell there was an issue by looking at the house. I couldn't be more pleased about that. While the exterior was taken apart, we decided some lovely soffit lights handled the delays well and were able to work around the delays to complete the work as quickly as possible.

Unless you know about the out-of-square walls, you cannot tell there was an issue by looking at the house. I couldn't be more pleased about that. While the exterior was taken apart, we decided some lovely soffit lighting was in order; it's the old "well, since we have everything apart, we might as well..." issue. Tru provided contact to excellent, trusted contractors they work with on their jobs. We could not be more pleased with the result. The new lighting scheme compliments the beautiful siding so well. > The best part of using Tru was the feeling of competence from every interaction. Not once did we feel they were anything but excellent, and they strived to instil a sense of trust, a scarce thing in the contractor's marketplace these days. In conclusion, I would use Tru again in a heartbeat. I wholeheartedly endorse Tru Exteriors for your exterior renovation needs. **★★★★★ — HU-821585928, Nov. 2020** > 5/5 Stars! Picking a contractor for any project can be a challenge, that alone during a pandemic. Our home is a fixer upper, in a great inner city of Calgary location. Everyone at Tru Exteriors was a pleasure to do business with. The Tru Exterior customer service experience was on point. Our garage siding project was completed to a high level. We are enjoying our garage now and will for many years! Thank you all again for going the extra mile in our pandemic crisis. We look forward to getting the house sided! > We would strongly recommend Tru Exteriors! **★★★★★ — Bev, Sept. 2020** > Colin, Chris, and most especially Doug were amazing. We love our finish on our home. We did board and Baton on the front with some staggered shake. Thanks very much guys. **★★★★★ — Dennis, June 2020** > Had Reno work done and was very pleased with work and price was very reasonable.Everybody was easy to work with and thanks to Chris for working with me and being prompt with reply’s. **★★★★★ — Koffi Deku, Sept. 2019** > TRU Exteriors was highly recommended for an AL13 cladding installation project. They were solution people, very professional and responsible. It was a pleasure working with Colin, Chris, Doug and the rest of their Team. TRU Exteriors involvement saved the project. I will definitely invite them for future projects. **★★★★★ — swellmama, Jan. 2018** > I cannot day enough about how amazing Chris, Colin and the team at Tru Exteriors have been as we completely resided my 1912 home. We were complete novices and the expert guidance and skills of this team, their patience and fantastic communication has been wonderful. It was truly a labour of love and we made many “discoveries” along the way, but Colin and Chris helped us problem solve and were very respectful of our needs and budget. I absolutely love my home. Thank you so much guys!!! Kkw and family. **★★★★★ — Neil Jobin, June 2017** > What a pleasure to work with TRU Exteriors! They installed James Hardie siding on our home (Aged Pewter colour). Check out the results in the pictures attached! Excellent communication from first contact to the final walk around. The quality of work was simply outstanding with attention to all the small details. The on-site crew was very respectful of our home: a thorough site clean up every night, music not played too loud, checking in with our neighbours for noise. > > Easy to recommend TRU Exteriors. Job well done! 5 Stars. **★★★★★ — M Johnson, Feb. 2017** > Chris and Colin from Tru Exteriors were some of the best contractors I have dealt with over the past year having done a complete renovation. As part of the exterior work they were installing Longboard and Hardy board to update the exterior of the house. Because I did not have time to provide a detailed drawing of what I wanted the exterior to look like I asked them to use their judgment given their experience and I can say they did not disappoint. I was thrilled with the choices they made and the end result look fantastic. Knowing how difficult it is to trust and find contractors that do what they say they will do is arduous but these guys came highly recommended to me and I am passing along the good word for the work for these guys do. > Thank you both - I will see you on my next project **★★★★★ — rebafeas, July 2016** > The crew from TRU replaced some faulty exterior metal panels on our home that had been negligently installed by our general contractor. They were incredibly courteous and professional and did a great job of fixing the problem. Moreover, they provided us the much needed assurance that our new panels would not fail and that they had been installed correctly. We fully intend to use TRU again on some other exterior deficiencies that we need fixed on our new home. Wishing we had known about TRU in the first place! Thank you David and crew for the excellent work! **★★★★★ — dfd01, July 2016** > TRU's services on our project included removal of old stucco, soffit, fascia, eaves-trough and downspouts; installation of James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding, and new soffit, fascia, eaves-trough and downspouts on our enlarged bungalow. Tru's crew were respectful of ourselves and our property, hardworking and produced a high quality result at reasonable cost. Their team lead, David, was persnickety about defects and made very thorough inspections during and at completion of the work. All imperfections were corrected leaving a very fine end product. We continue to receive complements from neighbors and friends on the pleasing appearance of our home.
