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.
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.
The second job is 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. Request local references, insurance proof, and a written contract, and steer clear of big deposits up front.

Wind-Driven Rain Leaks
Rain pushed behind siding by wind can appear indoors later, and pros find and seal where it got in.
The Post-Storm Siding Inspection
A storm inspection begins by working out 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 metal siding, the pro looks for round dents and checks gutters, window wraps, and condenser fins for matching marks. Every strike is circled in 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.

What should I do right after a storm damages my siding?
Stay clear of downed lines and leaning trees, photograph the damage from every side, and call your insurer. 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 pro can map and document every hit.
Can storm-damaged siding be matched to the rest of my house?
Usually, though aged or faded siding can be difficult 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?
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. Our line connects you with an independent local contractor instead.
