Exteriors built to withstand what Alberta throws at you.
Calgary's hail season doesn't send a warning. Skyview Star Exteriors delivers full-envelope renovations that restore curb appeal and protect your home from the next storm — with materials rated to survive it.
Standard exteriors weren't designed for Calgary hail.
Skyview Star Exteriors is a Calgary-based exterior renovation company delivering full home exterior renovations across SW, NE, NW, and SE Calgary, plus Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, Chestermere, and Rocky View County. From siding installation and James Hardie upgrades to complete exterior makeovers, our crew handles the entire envelope under one roof.
Calgary ranks among the most hail-prone cities in Canada. Between 2010 and 2024, the Insurance Bureau of Canada recorded multiple billion-dollar hail events in the region — including the June 2020 storm that caused an estimated $1.2 billion in insured damage across northeast Calgary alone.
Vinyl siding cracks on impact. Builder-grade stucco chips and crumbles. Aluminum eavestroughs dent and lose their drainage pitch after a single storm. We break that cycle by installing exterior systems rated to resist the exact type of impact Calgary hailstones deliver — backed by transparent exterior renovation quotes and written exterior renovation estimates.

Siding that survives a 2-inch steel ball at 20 feet.
Not all siding survives a Calgary hailstorm. We focus on materials that carry a Class 4 impact rating under UL 2218 — the highest available. Class 4 means the product withstood a 2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet without cracking, splitting, or breaking.
James Hardie Fiber Cement
Resists impact, won't melt or warp in extreme heat, and carries a 30-year limited warranty. Holds paint longer than wood and never rots.
LP SmartSide Engineered Wood
Natural wood appearance with treated wood-strand technology that resists impact, moisture, and fungal decay. 5/50-year limited warranty.
Steel Siding
The ultimate impact resistance. Steel panels deflect hailstones rather than absorbing impact energy — the top choice for south- and west-facing walls.
Why upgrading from vinyl pays for itself.
Vinyl becomes brittle in cold temperatures (Calgary regularly drops below -20°C in winter), and a hailstone that hits cold vinyl shatters it on contact. Typical vinyl siding repairs after a moderate hailstorm run $3,000 to $8,000 — and many homeowners face this expense every 2 to 4 years.
A one-time upgrade to Hardie Board or LP SmartSide eliminates the cycle of repeated claims, deductible payments, and weeks of living behind a damaged exterior.
Many Calgary insurance providers also offer premium discounts (typically 5% to 15% on dwelling coverage) when homeowners install Class 4 impact-rated materials.
The permanent hail-proof solution.
Nothing stops a hailstone like stone. Stone veneer and brick veneer deliver the highest level of impact resistance available. A 2-inch hailstone that destroys vinyl and cracks stucco bounces harmlessly off natural or manufactured stone.
We install both full-thickness masonry veneer and lightweight adhered stone veneer systems. Lightweight veneer installs directly over existing sheathing without foundation modifications, making it practical for retrofit projects.
Stone and brick veneer also add measurable resale value. A 2023 Remodeling Magazine Cost vs. Value report found manufactured stone veneer projects recouped over 100% of their cost at resale in many Canadian markets.
We speak your adjuster's language.
Filing an insurance claim after hail damage feels overwhelming. Adjusters use specific terminology, require detailed scoping documents, and follow timelines that penalize homeowners who miss deadlines. Skyview Star Exteriors removes that friction.
We work directly with your insurance adjuster to document damage, provide itemized estimates in Xactimate (the software most Alberta insurers require), and ensure every legitimate line item gets included in your claim.
In many cases, your insurance covers the replacement cost of your existing materials, and you pay only the difference to upgrade to Class 4 impact-rated products like Hardie Board or steel siding.
