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. 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 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. Request local references, insurance proof, and a written contract, and steer clear of big deposits up front.

What Storm Repair Pros Handle in Oakland
After bad weather in Oakland, these are the siding calls that come in most:
Hail Damage Repair
Cracked vinyl, dented metal, and chipped fiber cement get mapped strike by strike and fixed or replaced.
Wind Blow-Off Repair
Unlocked or missing panels are re-hung or replaced, with proper nailing so it does not happen again.
Temporary Dry-In and Tarping
Open sheathing and torn wrap are covered fast to stop water while permanent materials are sourced.
Damage From Limbs and Debris
Branches and debris that break through siding may also hit sheathing or framing, which is inspected before the repair is closed up.
Claim Photos and Damage Reports
Time-stamped photos, hail marks, measurements, and a written report give your adjuster the complete picture.
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. 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.
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. 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.
Typical storm damage requests
- Hail fractures on exposed walls
- Siding blown off gables and corners
- Open sheathing after wind
- Branches through siding and soffit
- Photos and reports for insurance

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?
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-angle light makes them easier to spot. 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. After widespread storms response may slow, so call as soon as you can.
Should I hire the crew knocking on my door after a storm?
Use caution. 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.
