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 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.
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 Columbia
These are the storm-related siding calls we route most after severe weather in Columbia.
Hail-Damaged Siding
Cracked vinyl, dented metal, and chipped fiber cement get mapped strike by strike and fixed or replaced.

Unlocked or missing panels are re-hung or replaced, with proper nailing so it does not happen again.

Tree and Debris Impact Repair
Branches and debris that break through siding may also hit sheathing or framing, which is inspected before the repair is closed up.
Insurance Claim Documentation
Time-stamped photos, hail marks, measurements, and a written report give your adjuster the complete picture.
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
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.
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. 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-cracked vinyl on storm-facing walls
- Siding blown off gables and corners
- Open sheathing after wind
- Limbs through walls and soffits
- Photos and reports for insurance

Raj M.Storm leak repair, ColumbiaCommon Questions After a Storm
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-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. 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?
Calls with open sheathing are moved to the front, and many get covered that 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. Request local references, a business address, insurance proof, and a written contract, and avoid paying big deposits. Our line connects you with an independent local contractor instead.
