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.
The first job is protecting the house. 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 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 Franklin Lakes

Hail Damage Repair

Storm-Related Leak Tracing
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 one or two elevations supports a storm cause, while scattered wear on every side suggests age.
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. Every strike is circled in chalk and photographed.
With wind damage, the pro looks at whether panels ripped or just unlocked, whether nails pulled out or were set too high, and whether the wrap behind 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.

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 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?
Look for cracks, holes, or star-shaped fractures, especially on the walls facing the storm. Low, angled light makes them easier to see. A contractor can mark and photograph every strike.
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. 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.
