Siding | Airdrie
Siding Contractor in Airdrie
Airdrie has been one of the fastest-growing cities in Alberta, and most of its homes went up quickly, finished in builder-grade vinyl chosen for speed and price. That siding is now reaching the age where it fades, cracks and comes loose, often on several houses in the same block at once. Sitting on open prairie north of Calgary along the QEII, with little mature tree cover, Airdrie homes also take their share of hail and wind.
Total Exteriors repairs and replaces siding across Airdrie and handles complete exterior renovations when you want to change the look of the house. Our office in northeast Calgary is a short drive down the QEII, and every project starts with a free inspection by a HAAG-certified inspector.
Airdrie Siding Services for Newer Subdivisions
In most Airdrie subdivisions the houses share a handful of builders, siding colours and profiles. That helps when we need to match a few panels, and it also means one hailstorm can damage the same material on every house on the street.
Our Airdrie siding services include:
Builder-grade vinyl replaced with thicker or insulated panels
Hail-damaged panel and trim replacement with colour matching
Hardie board and LP SmartSide upgrades for a new look
Exterior renovations combining siding, windows, soffit and eavestroughs
Insurance inspections and photo reports after storms
Stone veneer accents added to entries and garage fronts
When the storm also reached your roof, see our Airdrie roofing page. For the full range of projects we take on in the city, visit Airdrie exterior services.
Hail that cracks siding usually chips painted trim and dents eavestroughs too, so it often makes sense to plan siding together with exterior painting in Airdrie and Airdrie eavestrough repair. Storm-damaged fences and railings are covered on our Airdrie decks and fences page.

Why Builder-Grade Siding in Airdrie Wears Out
Thin vinyl is the most affordable way to clad a new house, and it does the job for a while. With age it becomes brittle, especially in cold weather, and loses colour on south and west walls. On open lots with few mature trees, wind gets under loose panels and hail hits the walls with little to slow it down. Many Airdrie homes now have siding that has been through several hail seasons and needs more than a patch.
The Airdrie siding problems we fix most often:
Brittle panels that crack as soon as they are unlocked
Uneven fading between sunny and shaded walls
Brittle siding matters when you plan repairs: old panels can crack as we unlock them, so a small patch can grow. We will tell you upfront if a wall is past repairing.
Upgrading the Siding on an Airdrie Home
If the builder vinyl is coming off anyway, it pays to compare the alternatives. Each one changes how the house looks and how it handles the next storm:
Insulated vinyl — the closest like-for-like upgrade, sturdier and warmer than thin panels
Hardie fibre cement — painted boards with much better hail resistance than vinyl
LP SmartSide — engineered wood siding and trim for a craftsman or modern look
Mixed exteriors — vinyl or fibre cement with stone veneer at the base and entry
Most newer Airdrie subdivisions still apply architectural guidelines to exterior colours and materials, so we check yours before you decide. Explore vinyl siding, Hardie board, SmartSide and stone veneer, or see hail resistance, upkeep and cost compared on our siding page.
Hail Claims and Exterior Renovations in Airdrie
After a hailstorm, whole streets in Airdrie file claims at once. A clear, complete report keeps yours moving: our HAAG-certified inspectors photograph every elevation, measure each damaged wall and list siding, trim, soffit, eavestroughs and window capping in one scope, then meet your adjuster at the house.
If you want to upgrade at the same time, we price the upgrade separately as private work so the claim and your choices stay clear. See our Airdrie hail damage page and insurance claims process, or report a claim online.
When Airdrie Siding Needs Replacing
A few cracked panels can be swapped out. Replacement usually makes more sense when:
- Hail has damaged two or more sides of the house
- Old panels crack the moment they are unlocked
- Your colour is badly faded or no longer made
- Panels keep coming loose on the same exposed corner
- You are also replacing windows, soffit or eavestroughs
Doing the siding together with other exterior work saves on access, trim and labour.
How an Airdrie Siding Project Runs
Our work follows five simple steps:
- A free inspection and photo report of every wall
- A written estimate with material options and trim details
- An adjuster meeting for storm claims, or a start date for upgrades
- Removal, house wrap and flashing checks, then new siding
- Clean-up, nail sweep and a final walkthrough

Airdrie Siding Questions
Is it worth replacing builder-grade vinyl siding in Airdrie?
If it is brittle, faded or damaged on several walls, usually yes. A full re-side lets you move to thicker or insulated panels, or a different material, and fix the house wrap and flashing at the same time.
Can you match the siding on my Airdrie house?
Often. Many Airdrie homes use common builder profiles and colours. Fading is the main issue, so a closer match sometimes means replacing a full wall rather than a handful of panels.
Do you handle full exterior renovations in Airdrie?
Yes. We take on siding, windows and doors, soffit, fascia, eavestroughs, stone and exterior painting, so one team is responsible for how it all fits together.
Does home insurance cover hail damage to siding in Airdrie?
Many Alberta policies include sudden hail and wind damage, but deductibles and depreciation vary, so confirm the details with your insurer. We inspect, document the damage and work through the claim with your adjuster.
When is the best time to replace siding in Airdrie?
Spring to fall is easiest, and booking soon after a storm helps because demand climbs when whole neighbourhoods claim at once. Vinyl can go on in winter with care, since it is more brittle in the cold.
