Storm-damaged siding?

Hail can crack or puncture vinyl siding and dent aluminum, and high winds can rip panels loose. Damaged siding lets water behind the wall. We connect you with an independent local siding contractor for a free inspection and documentation for your claim.

Signs of siding damage

  • Cracked, holed, or chipped vinyl panels, usually on the side facing the storm
  • Dents in aluminum siding or trim
  • Loose, buckled, or missing panels after wind
  • Spatter marks or chipped paint on wood and fiber-cement siding
  • Water stains on interior walls behind damaged areas

What to do first

  1. Photograph every side of the house, close up and wide.
  2. Collect any loose panels; they can help match the color and profile.
  3. Cover holes if water can get in.
  4. Get a professional inspection before filing.
  5. Ask about matching: if replacement panels cannot match, discuss it with your adjuster.

Frequently asked questions

Does insurance cover hail damage to siding?

Typically yes, when hail or wind physically cracks, holes, or dents the siding. Purely cosmetic damage may be treated differently depending on your policy, so read any cosmetic-damage exclusion.

What if my insurer will only replace one side of the house?

If new panels cannot reasonably match the undamaged siding, raise it with your adjuster and ask for the reasoning in writing. Ohio's insurance regulations address matching, and the Ohio Department of Insurance can answer consumer questions.

Can cracked vinyl siding be repaired instead of replaced?

Single panels can often be replaced individually if a matching profile and color are available. Older or discontinued siding is harder to match.

How soon should siding damage be fixed?

Soon. Holes and gaps let rain behind the siding into sheathing and insulation, which can lead to rot and mold that insurance may not cover if it develops from delay.
