Siding in Westminster earns its keep three ways: it takes the hail that comes off the foothills, it holds its color under high-altitude sun that fades lesser cladding in a few summers, and it keeps wind-driven rain out of the wall assembly. Choosing a product is really choosing which of those battles your house loses first — unless you choose correctly the first time. Weatherguard Construction, family-owned since 2001, runs its Colorado operation from Centennial and installs siding across the Denver metro, Westminster included.
This Summer Was a Reminder
On July 28, 2026, the National Weather Service placed Adams County — which covers much of Westminster — under a severe thunderstorm watch. Most watches pass without damage. The ones that do not are why we recommend an exterior inspection after any serious cell moves through: hail scars on siding are easy to dismiss as cosmetic right up until the cracked courses start letting water reach the sheathing.
What the Whole-Exterior Job Feels Like
Siding rarely travels alone — hail that ruins cladding usually took the roof and gutters with it. One customer who replaced all three at once:
“Excellent Service – Highly Recommended! I had my roof, siding, and gutters replaced, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The team was professional, efficient, and paid great attention to detail. Everything was completed on time and the quality of work is outstanding. They made the whole process smooth and stress-free.”
— Jessica Aubel, Google review
“Smooth and stress-free” is a process outcome, not a personality trait. One project consultant scopes everything the storm touched, one project manager sequences the trades, and you get one schedule instead of three contractors blaming each other's timelines.
Materials That Fit the Front Range
- LP SmartSide engineered wood — wood-grain looks with engineered-strand durability; Weatherguard is a certified LP Building Solutions contractor, so the manufacturer has vetted the installation you are buying.
- Fiber cement — rigid, non-combustible, and unbothered by the impacts that dent and crack economy cladding.
- Premium vinyl — a budget-conscious option that still gets correct flashing, expansion allowance, and straight courses.
Every proposal names the exact product line and itemizes trim, flashing, and tear-off, so competing bids can be compared honestly.
A Company You Can Check Up On
BBB Accredited with an A+ rating and a BBB Gold Star. Family-owned and operated since 2001. An office at 15065 E. Hinsdale Drive in Centennial that will still answer the phone when the project is a memory. Verify all of it before you sign anything — with us or anyone else. The exterior trades attract more fly-by-night operators than almost any other corner of construction, and the fix as a homeowner is simple: only hire companies whose claims you can independently confirm. Every credential in this paragraph can be checked in a few minutes online, which is exactly why we lead with them.
When Insurance Calls Siding Damage “Cosmetic”
Hail-scarred siding sits in an awkward corner of many homeowner policies: dents and chips may be classified as cosmetic while cracks and punctures are functional damage, and the difference decides the claim. This is a documentation fight, not a shouting fight. We photograph every elevation — not just the worst wall — note each crack and puncture individually, and write the scope so an adjuster can verify it item by item from the ground. If your cladding is an older discontinued profile, matching becomes part of the conversation too, and it is far better to have that conversation with photographs in hand.
Installation Details That Matter at a Mile High
Colorado's swings from summer hail to winter chinook winds move siding more than most climates. The details that keep a wall straight and dry here are unglamorous and invisible by the time the job photographs well: fasteners set to let panels float through thermal cycling rather than pinned tight, expansion gaps held at manufacturer spec instead of eyeballed, housewrap and flashing lapped so wind-driven rain sheds out rather than in, and UV-stable trim that will not chalk out years before the panels around it. Our crews are certified by LP Building Solutions, and every one of those details appears as a line in the scope — which is exactly where you should look when a cheaper bid arrives.
Get the Itemized Number
Walk your exterior with our consultant, hear what actually needs doing, and get a free, no-obligation estimate. If a July storm started this conversation, bring the claim paperwork and we will scope to what the weather actually did; if you are simply done repainting tired cladding, we will price the version of the project that fits how long you plan to own the house. Either way you leave the conversation with real numbers and no obligation.
