Wind and hail hurt siding in very different ways. Hail fractures vinyl, especially when it is cold and brittle, dents aluminum and steel, and chips or cracks painted fiber cement. Wind lifts the bottom edge of a panel, unlocks it from the course below, and peels whole runs off a wall, often starting at a corner or gable end.
Protecting the structure comes first. Exposed house wrap and sheathing get covered the same day when possible, loose panels get fastened, and anything flapping in the wind gets secured before it takes more siding with it.
Next comes documentation. A good storm pro photographs every elevation before touching anything, marks hail strikes, measures damaged areas, and writes a description your adjuster can use. That record helps when matching comes up, because how an unmatched repair is treated depends on your policy.
One more thing after big storms: be careful with out-of-area crews knocking on doors. Ask for local references, proof of insurance, and a written contract, and avoid large upfront deposits.

Storm-Related Leak Tracing
Rain pushed behind siding by wind can appear indoors later, and pros find and seal where it got in.
The Post-Storm Siding Inspection
The assessment starts with direction. Hail and wind come from a prevailing side, so the pro checks which walls faced the storm and compares them to the sheltered sides. Damage concentrated on one or two elevations supports a storm cause, while scattered wear on every side suggests age.
On vinyl, hail hits show as cracks, punctures, or star fractures, often easier to see from an angle in low light. On metal siding, the pro looks for round dents and checks gutters, window wraps, and condenser fins for matching marks. Each hit gets circled with chalk and photographed.
With wind damage, the pro looks at whether panels ripped or just unlocked, whether nails pulled out or were set too high, and whether the wrap behind tore. Any sheathing that sat exposed to rain gets checked with a moisture meter. Everything goes into a written report for you and your insurance company.
Typical storm damage requests
- Hail-cracked vinyl on storm-facing walls
- Siding blown off gables and corners
- Open sheathing after wind
- Limbs through walls and soffits
- Photos and reports for insurance

What should I do right after a storm damages my siding?
Keep away from fallen lines and unstable trees, take photos of every side of the house, and notify your insurance company. Then arrange temporary protection to keep water out.
Will insurance cover hail or wind damage to my siding?
Storm damage is often covered, though your specific policy and deductible determine it. Clear photos and a written report from your contractor strengthen the claim.
How do I know if hail damaged my vinyl siding?
Check storm-facing walls for cracks, holes, or star fractures. Low-angle light makes them easier to spot. A contractor can mark and photograph every strike.
Can storm-damaged siding be matched to the rest of my house?
Often, but older or faded siding can be hard to match. If it cannot be matched, talk with your adjuster, since your policy governs how that is handled.
How fast can someone cover exposed walls after a storm?
Storm calls with exposed sheathing are prioritized, and many get temporary protection the same day or the next morning. After widespread storms response may slow, so call as soon as you can.
Should I hire the crew knocking on my door after a storm?
Be cautious. Ask for local references, a physical business address, proof of insurance, and a written contract, and avoid large upfront deposits. Calling our line routes you to an independent local pro instead.
