Welcome to Second Generation Exteriors! I’m Brad, and we’re a family-based home exteriors company serving consulting and claim resolution services for homeowners who have experienced roof, siding, or eavestrough hail damage.
Our team of home-building professionals will take the time to ask you the right questions to make sure that we are recommending the best option for your home claims adjustment. As members in good standing with the Siding Contractors Association of Alberta (SCAA), we uphold the industry standards and professionalism homeowners expect.
Being a seasoned home insurance claims contractor in Calgary, we know there are a number of crucial components to inspect.
In Calgary many clients experience a disconnect between what insurance companies will pay for roof repair and what contractors are quoting to have repaired. At Second Generation Exteriors, our goal is to bridge the gap by becoming involved right at the beginning and making sure the roof insurance claims are covering the true scope of work.
Calgary chinooks can cause roof damage; typically from hail impact damaging roofs, high winds ripping shingles off, or flying or falling debris compromising the water barrier or structural integrity of the roof. We can offer fast service and peace of mind by providing the best replacement for your roof.
Flat roof replacement can be a difficult task. It often involves tracing water leaks, investigating roofing details and sealed laps with a hooked probe, and performing removal of multiple layers of the roofing system. We have the tools and expertise to fix modified bitumen, TPO, EPDM, and PVC roofs in Calgary.
If you need help with your roof insurance claim, we will come to your house and assess your property with your insurance roof repair estimate in hand.
If you are seeking a private quote we would come to your house and speak to you about the work you want to be completed.
If you wish to move forward with the quote, we finalize the scope of work, provide options for select products, colours, and upgrades, note these choices, and prepare a roofing and/or siding contract accordingly.
Once you have signed the contract agreement you can expect to receive a welcome e-mail from our roofing team with next steps included.
Before we arrive at your Calgary home, we will reach out with material delivery and roof and siding installation start dates. Our construction manager and office staff are here to answer any questions you may have along the way. Safety is our priority, so be aware that you will need to adhere to the safety precautions we establish - your building or home roof installation is an active construction site.
After all work has been completed:
Every project is different.
Calgary is in the hail belt, and it's important to us to offer different types of siding to our customers to meet their style and taste. If you are replacing your siding due to hail damage we can help you with your insurance claim.
It is important to know what product is on your Calgary home as many siding products become discontinued and the price of the product can vary greatly based on the thickness and colour of the vinyl. This match can be done on-site and if necessary be sent out to a third party for verification to give to your insurance provider. This service can potentially take your insurance provider's scope of work from one elevation to a full wrap of new siding around the whole house, an excellent value for Calgary homeowners!
When we help customers with their insurance claim one of the common things we have to go back to insurance for is the proper grade of siding. The thickness of your siding will change the cost of the siding, and so will the colour. Your insurance provider must cover the cost for the same grade product or greater.
Depending on your policy, you may also qualify for a full siding replacement on your house if the siding product is discontinued. In this case, we would reach out for a third-party report to verify the product on your house is discontinued. Without an expert advising that your siding is discontinued, many customers would not know that the product used for their partial siding replacement may be a different product than the rest of the house.
The siding we recommend to our clients to protect their house from further hail damage is based on more than just budget. We like to ask our clients about their future plans for the house. Some siding products focus on protecting your home from hail and fire, but the value they add may not be worth it if you plan on selling your home.
Most houses in Alberta have vinyl siding, and this is an economical choice. Vinyl siding is conducive to the large temperature swings in Alberta as it is able to expand and contract with sudden temperature changes.
Fiber cement siding is meant to last many years longer than vinyl siding. Hardie board siding has greater protection against hail and fire damage and can lower your insurance premiums. These features can be a selling point for your house.
No matter your decision, our siding team is well-versed in the various siding products and exterior solutions - and can help you complete your home siding project.

With your cooperation, we can make sure that you receive what you are entitled to.
