Urbandale Homes Need Two Different Siding Conversations
Urbandale has about 18,490 homes, and they split into two groups. Roughly a third were built before 1980, mostly on the east side, and many still have original wood lap, aluminum or first-generation vinyl siding. About 38% were built in 2000 or later, mostly toward the northwest, where builder-grade vinyl is the norm.
On older homes, siding work often uncovers soft sheathing, missing house wrap or rotted trim that should be fixed while the walls are open. On newer homes, the usual question is storm damage, faded or cracked vinyl, or an upgrade to a tougher material.

Which Siding Is Right for an Urbandale Home?
We install four main types, and each fits a different need:
- Vinyl: the lowest upfront cost and easy to maintain; it can crack in large hail or hard freezes.
- LP SmartSide: engineered wood with a real wood look and strong impact resistance, a popular upgrade on older east-side homes.
- James Hardie fiber cement: very durable and fire-resistant, with factory color options.
- Steel: stands up well to hail and needs little upkeep.
Hail Damage to Siding in Urbandale
Vinyl siding on the side of the house that faces a storm can crack, chip or get punched through by hail, and aluminum siding and trim dent easily. Because so much Urbandale vinyl is 20 years old or more, an exact color match is often discontinued, which can turn a small repair into a full wall or full house project.
The most recent severe report within about 6 miles of Urbandale was wind damage on September 8, 2026, 3 miles east of Windsor Heights. The largest hail in the last 24 months was 1.5 inches on July 2, 2026, 3 miles northeast of Windsor Heights.See the full, automatically updated storm list on our Urbandale hail & storm damage page.
Repair or Replace Your Urbandale Siding?
A repair makes sense when damage is limited to a few pieces and matching siding is still available. Replacement usually makes more sense when damage is spread across several walls, the siding is brittle or faded, or the old line cannot be matched.
On older Urbandale homes, replacement is also the chance to add house wrap and fix trim and sheathing problems that a patch would leave in place.
What Does Siding Cost in Urbandale?
Here are our typical installed prices for full siding replacement. On older east-side homes, removing old layers and repairing sheathing can add to the total; on newer homes the main factors are wall area and material.
| Material | Typical installed price (2026) |
|---|---|
| Vinyl siding, full replacement | $5.75–$7.50 per sq ft |
| LP SmartSide or James Hardie, full replacement | $8.75–$11.00 per sq ft |
| Vinyl siding repairs | $2–$4 per sq ft plus labor |
These are typical installed ranges from Superstorm Roofing & Siding for 2026, not a quote. Steel siding is priced per home. Your free written estimate is based on your walls, stories, trim and any repairs underneath.

Urbandale Siding Installation & Repair FAQ
How long does a siding replacement take in Urbandale?
Most single-family homes take several days to about two weeks, depending on the size of the house, the material and the weather. We will give you a timeline with your written estimate.
Can you match my existing Urbandale vinyl siding?
Sometimes. If your siding line and color are still made, a repair can blend in. Many 20-year-old vinyl colors are discontinued, and then a full wall or full house replacement may be the better choice.
Can hail damage vinyl siding?
Yes. Large hail can crack, chip or punch holes in vinyl, especially on the side of the house that faced the storm, and it can dent aluminum trim. We check siding during every storm inspection.
What siding is best for an older Urbandale home?
It depends on your budget and the look you want. LP SmartSide and James Hardie give older homes a classic lap look with more durability than vinyl, while steel and vinyl cost less to maintain. We will show you samples.
Do you replace rotted sheathing under the siding?
Yes. When we remove old siding, we check the wall sheathing and trim, replace damaged sections and add house wrap where needed, so the new siding goes onto a sound wall.
Does my Urbandale HOA need to approve new siding?
Many Urbandale neighborhoods have HOA rules for siding color and style. Check your guidelines or ask your HOA board before you choose. We will work within those rules.
Do you replace soffit and fascia at the same time as siding?
Often, yes. Doing soffit, fascia and trim with the siding gives you a matched exterior and fixes hidden rot in one project. See our Urbandale soffit and fascia page for details.
