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 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.
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 Durham
After bad weather in Durham, these are the siding calls that come in most:
Hail-Damaged Siding
Fractured vinyl, dented aluminum and steel, and chipped fiber cement are mapped hit by hit and repaired or replaced.
Wind-Stripped Siding
Unlocked or missing panels are re-hung or replaced, with proper nailing so it does not happen again.
Emergency Weather Protection
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.
Wind-Driven Rain Leaks
Wind-driven rain forced behind siding can show up inside days later; pros trace and fix the entry point.
The Post-Storm Siding Inspection
A storm inspection begins by working out 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. 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. 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 fractures on exposed walls
- Siding blown off gables and corners
- Open sheathing after wind
- Limbs through walls and soffits
- Claim documentation for adjusters

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 arrange temporary protection to keep water out.
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-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?
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.
