Hail and wind damage siding in different ways. Hail fractures vinyl, especially when it is cold and brittle, dents aluminum and steel, and chips or cracks 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.
The first job is protecting the house. 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.

What Storm Repair Pros Handle in Fort Lauderdale
These are the storm-related siding calls we route most after severe weather in Fort Lauderdale.
Hail-Damaged Siding
Fractured vinyl, dented aluminum and steel, and chipped fiber cement are mapped hit by hit and repaired 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.
Emergency Weather Protection
Exposed sheathing and torn wrap are covered right away to stop water damage while permanent materials are ordered.
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.
Claim Photos and Damage Reports
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 one or two elevations supports a storm cause, while scattered wear on every side suggests age.
Vinyl hail damage looks like cracks, holes, or star-shaped fractures that show best in low, angled 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.
For wind, the pro checks whether panels tore or simply unlocked, whether nails pulled through or were placed above the slots, and whether the house wrap behind the missing section tore. A moisture meter is used anywhere the sheathing was exposed to rain. Everything goes into a written report for you and your insurance company.
Typical storm damage requests
- Hail-cracked vinyl on storm-facing walls
- Wind-stripped gable ends and corners
- Exposed sheathing after blow-offs
- Limbs through walls and soffits

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. Clear photos and a written report from your contractor strengthen the claim.
How do I know if hail damaged my vinyl siding?
Look for cracks, holes, or star-shaped fractures, especially on the walls facing the storm. 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. 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. Response can slow after widespread storms, so call early.
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.
