For more than two decades, West Valley City homeowners have relied on Aim High Siding Company to protect their homes from the extremes of the Salt Lake Valley. From the mid-century ramblers near Granger and Hunter to newer builds rising along the 5600 West corridor, we've re-clad thousands of exteriors across Utah's second-largest city. We know the neighborhoods around the Maverik Center, Valley Fair Mall, Centennial Park, and the Utah Cultural Celebration Center — and we know how differently a west-facing wall on the Jordan River bench weathers compared to a shaded north elevation in Chesterfield. West Valley City sits at roughly 4,300 feet, where intense high-altitude UV, bone-dry summers, lake-effect snow off the Great Salt Lake, and winter inversions that trap grime against your walls all conspire to fade, warp, and crack siding faster than manufacturers' brochures suggest. Our crews are local, licensed in Utah, and familiar with West Valley City's building permit process at City Hall on 3600 South. When you call (801) 459-1911, you reach neighbors who understand exactly what a Wasatch Front winter does to an exterior — and how to build one that lasts.
Aim High Siding Company provides complete siding contractor services to West Valley City, UT homeowners and businesses.
West Valley City's semi-arid, high-desert climate is uniquely hard on exterior cladding. Summer temperatures regularly push past 100°F with relentless UV at 4,300 feet, fading vinyl and chalking older aluminum within a decade. Winters bring lake-effect snow, freeze-thaw cycling that widens hairline cracks into open seams, and persistent inversions that deposit particulate grime on north- and west-facing walls. Spring and fall bring gusty downslope and frontal winds that pry loose improperly nailed panels, plus occasional hail that dimples soft materials. Because the valley floor is dry, wind-blown dust and irrigation overspray also stain lower courses. For these conditions we recommend fiber cement or engineered wood with factory-baked finishes, thicker-gauge insulated vinyl for budget-conscious projects, and always a properly detailed weather-resistive barrier with kickout flashing at roof-wall intersections. Adequate ground clearance and rock-splash protection matter too, since sprinkler systems running May through September can saturate the bottom courses daily.
Aim High Siding Company is a West Valley City-focused contractor, not a national franchise routing calls to a distant call center. Our crews are usually on site within a day or two of your call, and because we work exclusively in this market, we're rarely more than fifteen minutes from Granger, Hunter, Chesterfield, or Redwood. We carry Utah contractor licensing and full liability and workers' compensation coverage, pull West Valley City permits ourselves, and build to local code including required weather barriers and fire-separation clearances on tight lots. Every installation is backed by our written workmanship warranty layered on top of manufacturer product warranties — and if something needs attention, you call a local number, not an out-of-state claims department. We provide honest, itemized estimates with no high-pressure sales, clean job sites daily out of respect for your neighbors, and clear communication from measurement through final walkthrough. We sponsor local youth sports, support community events at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center, and treat every West Valley City home as if it were on our own street. Call (801) 459-1911.

Common questions about our services in West Valley City, UT
In most cases, a straightforward like-for-like siding replacement on a single-family home is treated as a repair and may not require a full building permit. However, if the project involves structural sheathing repair, changes to wall insulation, window or door openings, or work on multi-family and commercial buildings, West Valley City's Community and Economic Development Department typically requires a permit. Requirements can also change with code updates. Aim High Siding Company checks current requirements for every job, pulls any needed permits on your behalf, and schedules inspections so your project stays fully compliant and doesn't create issues at resale.
Fiber cement is our top recommendation for the Salt Lake Valley. It resists the high-altitude UV that fades lesser materials, doesn't warp in 100-degree summer heat, and stands up to freeze-thaw cycling through winter. Engineered wood is a strong second choice, offering a warmer look with good impact resistance against hail. Insulated vinyl is the best value option and adds meaningful R-value for homes with older wall assemblies — just choose a thicker gauge and a fade-resistant color line. We steer clients away from thin builder-grade vinyl and legacy hardboard, both of which fail early under West Valley City conditions.
A typical single-family home in Granger, Hunter, or Chesterfield takes about five to ten working days depending on square footage, the number of stories, and how much sheathing repair we discover after tear-off. Larger homes in Stonebridge or Westland with complex gables and accent materials may run two to three weeks. Weather is the main variable: summer heat lets us work efficiently, while winter storms and lake-effect snow can pause work briefly. We give you a realistic schedule up front and update you daily so you always know what's happening at your home.
Often, yes. Homeowners policies along the Wasatch Front commonly cover sudden storm damage from hail and high winds, which West Valley City sees most frequently in spring and early summer. What insurers won't cover is gradual deterioration, chalking, or normal UV fading. Aim High Siding Company inspects your exterior, photographs and documents impact marks and wind-loosened panels, and meets your adjuster on site to make sure nothing is missed. We handle insurance-based siding restoration regularly and can explain your deductible, scope, and any code-upgrade coverage before you commit to anything.
It can, especially on homes built before modern insulation standards. Many West Valley City houses from the 1960s through 1980s have minimal wall insulation and significant air leakage. When we remove old siding, we can add a continuous insulation layer or house wrap that seals air gaps, then install insulated vinyl or add rigid foam beneath fiber cement. Homeowners commonly report noticeably steadier indoor temperatures during July heat waves and January inversions, plus reduced Rocky Mountain Power and natural gas usage. We'll assess your existing wall assembly and recommend the upgrade path that actually pays back for your specific home.
Yes. Newer West Valley City communities like Stonebridge and several Westland subdivisions have architectural committees with approved color palettes and material specifications. We're used to this process. We can provide product data sheets, manufacturer color samples, and elevation details you can submit for approval before we order materials, which prevents costly changes mid-project. If you're unsure who to contact or what your covenants require, we'll help you sort it out. Just call (801) 459-1911 and we'll walk you through the approval steps alongside your estimate.
Late spring through early fall — roughly April to October — is ideal, with warm, dry conditions that let caulk and finishes cure properly and keep crews productive. That said, we install year-round. Fiber cement and vinyl can both be installed in cold weather with the right handling; vinyl becomes brittle below freezing so we adjust techniques and cut methods accordingly. Winter jobs sometimes come with better scheduling availability and pricing. If your siding is actively failing and letting moisture into the wall, don't wait for spring — call us and we'll advise on temporary protection or immediate work.
