Hail and wind damage siding in different ways. Hail cracks vinyl, more so in cold weather, dents aluminum and steel, and chips or fractures painted fiber cement. Wind catches the bottom edge of a panel, pops it off the course below, and strips long runs, usually starting at a corner or gable.
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 matters when matching becomes an issue, since a repair that cannot be matched may affect how a claim is handled under 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.

What Storm Repair Pros Handle in Arcata
After bad weather in Arcata, these are the siding calls that come in most:
Hail-Damaged Siding
Cracked vinyl, dented metal, and chipped fiber cement get mapped strike by strike and fixed or replaced.
Wind Blow-Off Repair
Panels that unlocked or tore free are re-hung or replaced, with nailing corrected so the next storm does not repeat it.
Temporary Dry-In and Tarping
Open sheathing and torn wrap are covered fast to stop water while permanent materials are sourced.
Damage From Limbs and Debris
Branches and debris that break through siding may also hit sheathing or framing, which is inspected before the repair is closed up.
Insurance Claim Documentation
Dated photos, marked hail hits, measurements, and a written damage description help your adjuster see the full scope.
Storm-Related Leak Tracing
Wind-driven rain forced behind siding can show up inside days later; pros trace and fix the entry point.
The Post-Storm Siding Inspection
The assessment starts with direction. Storms hit from a dominant direction, so the pro compares the exposed walls with the sheltered ones. Damage concentrated on the storm-facing walls points to the storm, while even wear on every side suggests aging.
On vinyl, hail hits show as cracks, punctures, or star fractures, often easier to see from an angle in low light. On aluminum and steel, the pro looks for round dents and checks downspouts, window wraps, and AC fins as supporting evidence. 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.

Raj M.Storm leak repair, ArcataCommon Questions After a Storm
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 call for temporary protection so water does not cause more damage.
Will insurance cover hail or wind damage to my siding?
Storm damage is often covered, though your specific policy and deductible determine it. Good photos and a written damage report from the contractor help support 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 pro can map and document every hit.
Can storm-damaged siding be matched to the rest of my house?
Often, but older or faded siding can be hard to match. When it cannot be matched, discuss options with your adjuster; how that is handled depends on your policy.
How fast can someone cover exposed walls after a storm?
Calls with open sheathing are moved to the front, and many get covered that 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?
Use caution. Request local references, a business address, insurance proof, and a written contract, and avoid paying big deposits. Calling our line routes you to an independent local pro instead.
