— What Storm Damage Looks Like
SEC 01 / 07
Siding damage you might not notice from the ground.
After a storm, homeowners look at the roof and miss the siding. Hail and wind leave marks that are easy to overlook but are real, claimable damage.
Dents & cracks from hail
Hailstones dent, crack, or puncture panels, sometimes subtly. Even small cracks let water behind the siding over time.
Wind-loosened & missing panels
High winds tear panels off or loosen them, leaving gaps that expose your home to the next rain.
Holes & impact punctures
Wind-driven debris and large hail can puncture siding outright, an obvious entry point for water and pests.
Cracked or chipped corners & trim
Corners, J-channel, and trim take impacts too. Damaged trim is part of a complete claim, not an afterthought.
Water behind the siding
Once panels are cracked or displaced, water gets in. We check the barrier and sheathing for hidden moisture damage.
Damage that matches your roof
If your roof took hail, your siding almost certainly did too. The same storm, the same claim, on the same side of the house.
— Roof & Siding, One Claim
SEC 02 / 07
Don't let your siding claim get left out.
The hail that hits your roof hits your siding on the same exposure. The problem: many claims cover the roof and miss the siding. We make sure both are captured.
