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. 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.
Next comes 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 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.

How a Storm Pro Assesses Siding After Hail and Wind
The assessment starts with 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. 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. All of that goes into the written report for you and your insurer.

- Hail fractures on exposed walls
- Siding blown off gables and corners
- Exposed sheathing after blow-offs

What should I do right after a storm damages my siding?
Keep away from fallen lines and unstable trees, take photos of every side of the house, and notify your insurance company. 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. Good photos and a written damage report from the contractor help support the claim.
How do I know if hail damaged my vinyl siding?
Look for cracks, holes, or star-shaped fractures, especially on the walls facing the storm. 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. 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. Calling our line routes you to an independent local pro instead.
