Hail Damage Siding Repair in Calgary
We document the damage the way your adjuster needs it, coordinate the claim, and repair dented, cracked and split panels so the fix disappears into your wall.
Hail Repair Built Around Your Insurance Claim
Calgary sits in the middle of "Hailstorm Alley," one of the most hail-prone regions in Canada according to Environment and Climate Change Canada. The August 2024 storm alone caused over $2.8 billion in insured losses, the costliest hailstorm in Canadian history per the Insurance Bureau of Canada, and exterior cladding took a huge share of that damage. When hail hits your siding, the dents and cracks are not just cosmetic. They break the panel's ability to shed water, and every week that passes lets moisture work deeper into the wall.
Our hail service is built around two things: repairing the siding properly, and making sure your claim reflects the true scope of the damage. Here is what is included:
- On-site inspection of every elevation, roofline trim, soffit and fascia, not just the wall you noticed
- Detailed photo documentation formatted the way Alberta adjusters expect
- Direct coordination with your insurer and adjuster through the claim
- A written repair estimate before any work begins
- Colour-matched panel replacement and section repair by our own crew
- Moisture inspection behind damaged areas, with the source addressed if water is found
- Same-day cleanup and a final walkthrough with you
Signs of Hail Damage on Siding
Some hail damage is obvious. A lot of it is easy to miss from the ground until it turns into a bigger, more expensive problem. After a storm, look for:
- Round dents, chips or cracks concentrated on the storm-facing elevations
- Split or punctured panels, most common on vinyl in cold weather
- Cracking around fastener points and seams where the panel is weakest
- Loose or dislodged panels that shifted during the storm's wind
- Dented soffit, fascia, downspouts or vents, a strong tell that the walls were hit too
- Bubbling, staining or soft spots appearing weeks later, a sign water got behind the cladding
If you see damage on your roof vents, gutters or your neighbour's siding, assume your own siding was hit and get it assessed before the claim window tightens.
Our Hail Repair Process
Assess & Document
We inspect every elevation, photograph all damage in the adjuster's format, and give you a written estimate before anything starts.
Coordinate the Claim
We work with your insurer and adjuster directly so the full scope is recorded and you are not caught in the middle.
Source & Match
We track down the closest panel to your profile and finish, and show it to you before ordering.
Repair & Walkthrough
Our in-house crew completes the repair, clears the site the same day, and walks the home with you.
Repair or Replace After Hail?
Not every hail claim ends in a full replacement, and you should be wary of anyone who insists it does before looking. Here is how we weigh it:
| Situation | Usual Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Isolated damage, under ~20% of a wall | Targeted repair |
| Widespread damage across multiple elevations | Full replacement often better value |
| Newer siding with localized impact | Repair, remaining lifespan justifies it |
| Siding over 20 years old, several problem areas | Assess for replacement |
| Moisture found behind the cladding | Address the source first, then decide scope |
We give a straight recommendation at the assessment, based on your home, not a quota.
What Hail Siding Repair Costs in Calgary
Exact cost depends on material, the number of elevations affected, and colour-match complexity. As a working guide:
| Repair Type | Typical Starting Cost | Timeframe |
|---|---|---|
| Single panel replacement | from $150 | 1 to 2 hours |
| Hail section repair | from $300 | Half day |
| Full elevation replacement | from $800 | 1 to 2 days |
| Moisture / rot repair | from $600 | 1 to 2 days |
Figures are estimates for planning only and are confirmed in writing before work starts. Where a claim is approved, your out of pocket is typically your deductible.

Hail Repair FAQs
Will insurance pay for my hail-damaged siding?
It depends on your policy, and we never promise an outcome. We photograph and document all damage in the format Alberta insurers require and work directly with your adjuster so the full scope of the storm is on record. Good documentation is the single biggest factor in a fair payout.
What should I do first after a hailstorm?
Photograph visible damage from the ground, call your insurer to open a claim and get your claim number, do not cover or patch anything before the adjuster sees it, and do not sign with a door-to-door contractor. Then book a professional assessment so the damage is documented properly.
How long does hail siding repair take?
Most single-elevation hail repairs are completed in one to two days once materials are on hand. Multi-elevation damage or repairs that uncover moisture behind the wall take longer. We confirm your timeline at the assessment.
Can you match panels that were discontinued?
Often yes, to a close match. For discontinued or heavily weathered profiles the match may not be exact, and we show you the closest available panel before ordering so there are no surprises.
