This site is an advertisement paid by contractors. It does no stucco work itself and holds no trade licence, insurance or warranty, so credentials, warranty terms and price are between you and the contractor who quotes your wall. Coverage includes Airdrie, Chestermere and Calgary. Call (403) 555-0148 or email info@sandstonestucco.ca.
Hairline cracks, chips and gaps around windows and doors, quoted by an independent contractor after seeing the wall. Ask them to open any soft or bubbling area before pricing it.
A written repair estimate you can pass to your insurer after a hailstorm. IBC names Airdrie among the areas the June 2020 storm hit; a contractor can tell you whether marks on your wall are storm damage.
Northern flicker holes patched once nesting is over and the hole is empty. Ask the contractor how they close the hole and, on an EIFS wall, how they reinforce the foam behind the finish.
A fresh parging coat where the finish over the foundation wall is cracking or flaking. This is a surface recoat only, not foundation crack repair or waterproofing.
Airdrie counted 27,037 private dwellings in 2021 and Chestermere 6,925, after growth of 20.3% and 11.4% since 2016. Growth like that suggests a fair amount of recent housing, but this site's sources give no construction-period breakdown for either city, so check the age of your own home before assuming anything about its stucco or its warranty.
Calgary Parging describes cement stucco with an acrylic finish as the norm on the houses it sees. That is one contractor's view of its own jobs, not a survey of Airdrie or Chestermere. The same firm says stucco is designed to deflect water, not to be waterproof, and that the building paper behind it is what keeps water out. That is why cracks around windows and at the base of a wall are worth a proper look.
For the repair types in detail, see stucco repair and re-stucco and recoat options. For the foundation coat, see parging. This site does not offer foundation crack repair, waterproofing or structural work.
The Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) says the 13 June 2020 hailstorm hit "Calgary, Airdrie, Rocky View County and the surrounding area", with almost $1.2 billion in insured losses in IBC's first estimate. This site has no confirmed hail event to name for Chestermere, so it does not name one. If you are not sure whether your wall took hail, a contractor's inspection is more reliable than a guess from the ground.
IBC's advice after hail is to document the damage with photos, call your insurer or its claims department, keep receipts and keep damaged items unless they are a health hazard. The City of Calgary adds that you should contact your home insurance provider before doing any repair work. A stucco contractor can give you a written repair estimate, and you may pass it to your insurer. Whether hail damage to stucco is covered depends on your own policy.
This site does not file, manage or negotiate insurance claims, and it cannot say what an insurer will decide. More on scoping damage is on the hail and woodpecker damage page.
Stucco is a warm-weather job. Imasco's guidance is to do no stucco work when air and substrate temperatures are below 4 degrees C, from 24 hours before to 24 hours after application, and Calgary Parging says stucco cures best above 5 degrees C, typically April through October. Damage found in winter can usually be photographed, reported and quoted then, with the repair booked for warmer weather. If water is getting inside, say so when you call.
Before you agree to anything, Alberta.ca advises you to insist on a written contract, get written estimates from more than one business, and make sure the contractor has Workers' Compensation Board coverage. A contractor who takes money before the work is finished and signs the contract at your home needs an Alberta prepaid contracting licence, which you can check with Service Alberta. A contract signed at your home may also be a direct sales contract with a cancellation window under the Consumer Protection Act. Ask which municipal business licence applies to the job in Airdrie or Chestermere, and confirm it with that municipality.
On price, this site has no published figure specific to Airdrie or Chestermere. Calgary Parging, for example, lists small patch repairs in Calgary at $550 to $1,125 before GST. The contractor quotes your job after seeing the wall, so ask whether a call-out charge applies outside Calgary. Other published Calgary figures are on the stucco repair cost page, each attributed to the firm that publishes it.
Coverage includes Airdrie and Chestermere as well as Calgary. The contractors are independent and quote and contract directly with you, so confirm when you call that they will attend your address. Ask at the same time whether any call-out charge applies.
The Insurance Bureau of Canada names Airdrie among the areas the 13 June 2020 storm hit, along with Calgary and Rocky View County. This site has no confirmed hail event for Chestermere, so it does not name one. A contractor's inspection will show whether your own stucco has damage.
The City of Calgary says most repair or replacement work does not need a development or building permit, but that page covers Calgary only. This site has no confirmed permit rules for Airdrie or Chestermere, so ask your own municipality before work starts, especially if you are changing the cladding material or the windows.
Yes. The New Home Buyer Protection Act applies to homes built under a building permit applied for on or after 1 February 2014 and requires at least five years of cover for defects in the building envelope. Check your new home warranty before paying for repairs. Hail damage is not a defect, so do not assume the warranty covers it.
