Hail Damage Stucco Repair Calgary

What Hail Actually Does To Stucco

Most hail damage to stucco is invisible from the street, and that's exactly what makes it expensive later. The finish takes the impact, the layers behind it take the consequences.

Fractured finish coat

Circular crack patterns and chips where stones struck. Each fracture is a path for water, and Calgary's freeze-thaw cycles pry every crack wider each winter.

Crushed EIFS foam

On synthetic stucco, hail compresses the foam behind the finish, leaving soft dents that flex, crack, and let moisture reach the wall assembly.

Hidden moisture damage

A wall breached in June leaks quietly until spring. By the time staining shows inside, the repair has gone from patch to remediation, and the claim window may be closed.

Documentation Your Adjuster Can Actually Use

Most stucco quotes are a number in a text message. That doesn't survive contact with an insurance claim. Ours arrive as a documented scope: elevation-by-elevation photos of every impact, damage marked and measured, and a line-item repair scope written in the format adjusters expect.

We photograph before anything is touched, document what the damage has done behind the finish, and stay available to walk the adjuster through the wall if your insurer wants a site meeting.

Honest by default: if the damage is cosmetic and a claim isn't worth your deductible, we say so in writing. You lose nothing by knowing.

Repair The Impacts, Or Recoat The Wall

Light hail on a newer wall usually means spot repairs: fractured areas cut back, rebuilt, and texture-matched so the fix disappears. A heavily peppered or faded elevation is often better served by a full recoat, one uniform finish across the whole wall, which is also how insurers commonly settle widespread damage. We quote the honest option, and if you want the wall hardened against the next storm, ask us about the impact-resistant coating system we already install on Calgary homes.

HAIL DAMAGE FAQ

What Calgary homeowners ask first.

Does home insurance cover hail damage to stucco? +

Hail is a commonly covered peril on Alberta home policies, and exterior finishes damaged by a storm are usually claimable. Every policy differs on deductibles and claim windows though, so check yours early. Our documentation gives your adjuster what they need to assess the claim quickly.

How do I know if my stucco was actually damaged? +

From the ground it often looks fine. Up close, hail leaves circular fracture marks, chipped finish coat, and on EIFS, soft crushed spots where the foam behind the finish compressed. Those breaches let water in even when nothing looks broken, which is why we inspect wall by wall instead of guessing from the sidewalk.

What does your free hail inspection include? +

We walk every elevation, photograph and mark each impact area, check whether the damage is cosmetic or has breached the weather barrier, and give you a written summary. If the damage doesn't justify a claim, we tell you that too.

Will the repair match the rest of the wall? +

We colour- and texture-match repairs to the existing finish. On heavily faded walls we'll tell you up front if a full elevation recoat is the better route, and quote both so you and your adjuster can compare.

How soon after a storm should I act? +

Quickly. Insurance policies have limited claim windows, and every week a breached wall is exposed adds moisture damage the claim may not cover. After a major Calgary storm our inspection slots fill fast, so book the free inspection as soon as you suspect damage.
