Wind and hail hurt siding in very 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.
The second job is documentation. A careful storm contractor photographs every side of the house first, marks hail hits, measures the damage, and writes a report your adjuster can work from. 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.

How a Storm Pro Assesses Siding After Hail and Wind
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 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.
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
- Siding blown off gables and corners
- Exposed sheathing after blow-offs
- Limbs through walls and soffits
- 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?
Sudden storm damage is commonly covered, but your policy and deductible decide. 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. 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?
Use caution. 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.
