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.
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.
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.

How a Storm Pro Assesses Siding After Hail and Wind
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. 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 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. 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, angled light makes them easier to see. 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. Our line connects you with an independent local contractor instead.
