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. Open wrap and sheathing get covered as soon as possible, loose panels are fastened, and flapping pieces are secured before they tear off more siding.
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 helps when matching comes up, because how an unmatched repair is treated depends on your policy.
A caution after major storms: be wary of out-of-town crews going door to door. Ask for local references, proof of insurance, and a written contract, and avoid large upfront deposits.

What Storm Repair Pros Handle in Homer
After bad weather in Homer, these are the siding calls that come in most:
Hail Damage Repair
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
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. 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 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. 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. Any sheathing that sat exposed to rain gets checked with a moisture meter. All of that goes into the written report for you and your insurer.
Typical storm damage requests
- Hail fractures on exposed walls
- Wind-stripped gable ends and corners
- Exposed sheathing after blow-offs
- Branches through siding and soffit
- Claim documentation for adjusters

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 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?
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?
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. 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.
