— What Storm Damage Looks Like

SEC 01 / 07

Storm damage we repair on siding.

After a storm most homeowners check the roof and miss the walls. These are the kinds of siding damage Buckshot repairs and documents for insurance claims. How to spot hail damage on siding →

✓Hail dents and cracks

Hail dents aluminum and steel and cracks or punctures vinyl. Even small cracks let water behind the panel over time.

✓Wind-loosened or missing panels

High wind unlocks panels or tears them off, leaving gaps that expose the house wrap to the next rain.

✓Holes from storm debris

Wind-driven debris and large hail punch holes straight through siding, an open path for water and pests.

✓Damaged corners and trim

Corner posts, J-channel and trim take hits too, and a complete claim includes them.

✓Water behind the siding

Once panels crack or shift, water gets in. Buckshot checks the house wrap and sheathing for hidden moisture.

✓Damage that matches your roof

If hail hit your roof, it almost certainly hit the siding on the same side of the house. One storm means one claim.

— Roof & Siding, One Claim

SEC 02 / 07

Add siding to your roof claim.

Hail that hits your roof hits the siding on the same exposure, yet many claims cover only the roof. Buckshot captures both in one adjuster scope.

One adjuster scope. Siding damage goes into the same claim as your roof.Photos of every impact on each panel, corner and trim piece, dated and labeled.We meet the adjuster and walk every wall with them, along with the roof.The same process as our roof claims, so you pay your deductible and we handle the rest.

— Repair, Replace & Financing

SEC 05 / 07

Storm damaged siding, repaired or replaced.

Some storm damage needs one section repaired, and some justifies a full replacement covered by the claim. Buckshot tells you which, and the deductible is typically all you pay.

✓Targeted siding repair

When damage is limited to a few areas, we replace those panels and match your siding wherever the profile and color are still made.

✓Full siding replacement

When damage covers several walls, full replacement may be the covered scope, and most homes finish in two to three days.

✓Financing if you need it

For costs beyond the claim, or when you pay out of pocket, financing is available for qualified homeowners.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When the big storms came through the Madison-area in April 2026, I immediately started looking for a reputable roofer—who also understood the importance of weather-resistant materials that can withstand hail and wind. It didn’t take me long to find Brad from BCG. We had damage that needed to be repaired before the next round of storms came through later that day and Brad had a crew out within hours. Our neighbors also had damage, and when their roofing company didn’t show up, Brad and his crew also took on fixing their damage on the spot.

The contracting process was done over email and we were able to clearly understand all of the options available to us. On the day of install, the crew was efficient and fast with their work. But also, mistakes can happen. And what matters to us is not that there’s perfection (because that’s not realistic), but how a contractor deals with a mistake. As they were taking down the tarps when they were finished with the roof, one of our lights next to the garage broke. Brad helped find a replacement online and had it shipped directly to our house! Such great service!

All in all, we were very happy with Brad and the service we received from him and BCG. We’ve since recommended their services to several of our friends and neighbors who also had storm damage. While I hope we won’t have to do that again for a long time, we would work with BCG again in a heartbeat!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am extremely pleased with the service Matt Walmer from Buckshot General Contracting (BGC) provided for me during the hailstorm damage in Madison in April. I had just switched insurance companies one year ago and was worried about how much they would cover. Matt assured me everything would be taken care of and had nothing to worry about. True to his word he immediately answered phone calls during off hours even when he was with daughter at volleyball and answering texts in seconds Matt met up with assessor and arrived 20 minutes early. During roof replacement he stopped in 3 times to check the progress and next day he came back to do a walk around to make sure the cleanup was to his standards. I have been so blessed to work with Matt at BGC as my contractor as everything went so smoothly. No problems with my insurance company and I was the first one on my block to get my roof done. I also was telling Matt about some of my neighbors having problems with their insurance and he was willing to look at their paperwork and giving them advice on how to deal with them. I can proudly say I announced to them how good Matt was and gave them his card. Thank you so much Matt for your excellent service and being a great representative for Buckshot General Contracting. These days days it’s hard to find a business that is 100% committed to making sure the customer is their #1 concern. Going to be doing more work and sticking with them as I know it will be top quality.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We contacted BGC after storm damage and had them completely re-roof and re-side our house, garage, and shed. The entire process was incredibly smooth from start to finish. They were easy to work with, handled all the details, and made what could have been a stressful situation completely worry-free.
Our contact, Jayce Kirkland, was outstanding. His professionalism, communication, and courteous demeanor were truly a breath of fresh air. He took care of everything for us and made sure the project stayed on track every step of the way. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and have and would highly recommend BGC to anyone needing roofing or siding work!

Q.01 · Does insurance cover storm damaged siding?

Usually, yes. Hail and wind damage to siding is covered by most homeowner policies when the claim is documented properly. Buckshot photographs the damage and adds it to the adjuster scope. Roof & siding, one claim →

Q.02 · Can siding be added after my roof claim is approved?

Often, yes. Siding hit by the same storm is part of the same loss, and Buckshot can document it and work with your adjuster to add it before the claim closes.

Q.03 · What will I pay out of pocket for siding storm damage?

For covered damage you typically pay only your insurance deductible. Buckshot confirms the details for your claim at the free inspection.

Q.04 · Do you work with my insurance company?

Yes. Buckshot works with any carrier, documents the damage, meets your adjuster and handles the contractor side of the claim.

Q.05 · How soon should siding be inspected after a storm?

As soon as you can. Prompt documentation strengthens the claim and stops water behind cracked panels from causing more damage, and we respond within 2 hours during business hours.

Q.06 · Will repaired siding match the rest of my house?

We match profile and color where it is available, so the repair blends in. If your siding is discontinued or sun-faded, we tell you up front, and a full replacement may be the covered scope. Replacement →

Q.07 · How do I know if hail damaged my siding?

Look for dents in aluminum or steel, cracks or holes in vinyl, and chipped corners on the side that faced the storm. Hail damage siding guide →
