When Siding Fails, Time Matters

An open section of exterior wall is not just a cosmetic problem. Water moves into wall cavities immediately. In Calgary’s climate, that water either sits and promotes mould growth inside the wall, or it freezes and expands the gap further during the next cold snap. Every hour between the damage and the repair is an hour the problem is getting worse.

Chinook Exteriors provides emergency siding response across Calgary and the surrounding area around the clock. We secure the damaged area to stop further water entry, assess and document the full extent of the damage for your insurance claim, and carry out permanent repairs on a confirmed timeline. HAAG certification means the damage assessment we provide is the same standard your insurer requires.

What to Do Right Now Before We Arrive

If it is safe to do so

  • Take photos and video of all visible damage before covering anything. This documentation is essential for your insurance claim.
  • Cover the opening with a tarp or heavy plastic sheeting secured against wind. Use tape or weights rather than fasteners where possible to avoid additional damage.
  • Keep people away from the damaged area, particularly if large sections of siding have come loose and are a falling hazard.
  • Call your insurance provider to open a claim. Most policies cover sudden storm and hail damage.

Do not

  • Attempt to remove or reattach large sections of siding that are partially detached. Wind can catch them and cause additional damage or injury.
  • Use a pressure washer to clear debris around the opening. Forced water will push further into the wall cavity.
  • Allow contractors onto your property before opening an insurance claim if the damage is storm-related. Your insurer needs to assess the damage in its original state.

How Our Emergency Response Works

Step 1

Immediate Securing

We arrive and assess the situation. The first priority is stopping further weather exposure. We cover and secure any open sections using professional temporary materials that protect the wall cavity without causing additional damage to the substrate.

Step 2

HAAG Damage Assessment

Once the area is secured, we conduct a full inspection of the affected siding, surrounding sections, and any related components including soffit, fascia, and eavestroughs. As HAAG Certified Inspectors, we document the cause and extent of damage in a format your insurance adjuster will accept. We photograph every affected section and prepare a written damage report.

Step 3

Insurance Coordination

We provide your insurer with our damage assessment report and can coordinate directly with the adjuster if needed. We do not act as a public adjuster, but we ensure the documentation is complete and accurate so the claim is processed based on the actual damage rather than an underestimate.

Step 2

Permanent Repair

Once the claim is confirmed and scope agreed, we carry out the permanent repair or replacement using colour-matched material. For vinyl, we match the existing profile and colour. For Hardie Board, many homeowners use a storm event as the right moment to upgrade from vinyl to Hardie across the affected walls. We discuss both options at the assessment.

Common Emergency Siding Scenarios in Calgary

Hail Damage

Calgary is part of Hail Alley. Significant hailstorms hit the city multiple times each summer, and any storm with stones above 2 cm will crack and punch through standard vinyl siding. Our HAAG certification is specifically designed for this scenario. We assess, document, and repair hail-damaged siding and coordinate with your insurer so the full extent of the damage is captured before any repair work begins.

Chinook Wind Damage

Chinook winds arrive rapidly and reach speeds that can lift improperly fastened or already-compromised siding sections off the wall entirely. We see this particularly on older homes where the original fasteners have weakened over time. When sections are blown off in winter or a temperature transition event, the exposed wall needs to be secured within hours to prevent freeze damage to the substrate.

Chinook damage is less commonly covered by standard home insurance than hail damage, as the policy language around wind events varies. We can help you understand what your policy covers at the inspection visit and document the cause of the damage accurately.

Storm and Impact Damage

Tree branches, flying debris, and direct impact from falling objects during summer storms cause localized but immediate damage. Even a single board punched through creates a water entry point. We respond to these calls day or night, secure the opening, and confirm the repair scope before any permanent work begins.

Why HAAG Certification Matters for Your Siding Claim

HAAG (Haag Engineering) is the recognized standard for storm damage inspection in the insurance industry. An inspection by a HAAG Certified Inspector carries more weight with adjusters than a standard contractor estimate because it applies engineering principles to assess whether damage was caused by the claimed event, its severity, and its extent.

In Calgary’s high-hail-frequency environment, this matters for two reasons. First, it ensures the damage assessment is accurate and complete so your claim reflects the actual loss. Second, it protects you if an adjuster underestimates the scope. A HAAG report gives you documented evidence that the damage is what you say it is.

Chinook Exteriors is HAAG Certified. This is one of the key reasons we are positioned differently from most siding contractors in Calgary. We do not just repair the damage. We make sure it is properly documented first.

If your home was hit in a major Calgary hail event, do not accept a repair quote from a contractor who has not formally assessed the damage. Partial documentation of a widespread hail event can result in a claim that does not cover the full scope of what needs to be replaced. Our assessment takes the time to check all affected elevations, not just the most visible wall.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you respond to an emergency siding call in Calgary?

We aim to respond to emergency calls within two to four hours anywhere in Calgary and the surrounding area. Response time can vary based on how many active emergency calls we are managing simultaneously, particularly after a major storm event that affects multiple properties. Call 587-999-7170 directly. Do not use the online form for emergency situations as it is not monitored in real time.

Will my home insurance cover emergency siding repair?

Most standard Alberta home insurance policies cover sudden storm, hail, and wind damage to siding as an insured peril. You will need to open a claim with your insurer and have the damage assessed. Our HAAG certification means the damage report we provide meets the standard your adjuster requires. Contact your insurer first, then call us. We work within the insurance process, not around it.

Can you do emergency repairs in winter in Calgary?

Yes. Temporary securing of open sections can be done in virtually any weather condition. Permanent siding installation has some temperature limitations for adhesives and sealants, but the immediate priority is stopping water and weather entry, which we can do regardless of season. Permanent repairs are scheduled based on conditions and your insurer’s timeline.
