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.
Next comes 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. 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
A storm inspection begins by working out 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 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. Everything goes into a written report for you and your insurance company.
Typical storm damage requests
- Hail-cracked vinyl on storm-facing walls
- Wind-stripped gable ends and corners
- Open sheathing after wind
- Limbs through walls and soffits

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. Clear photos and a written report from your contractor strengthen 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?
Usually, though aged or faded siding can be difficult 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. 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.
