What Is Storm Damage Siding Repair?

Storm damage siding repair addresses the specific problems high winds, flying debris, and heavy rain leave behind, including cracked or torn panels, sections pulled loose from framing, and dents from wind-driven debris. Unlike routine wear, storm damage often happens suddenly and can leave your home's sheathing exposed to the elements until repairs are made, which makes timely assessment important. We evaluate the full extent of the damage, not just what's immediately visible from the ground.

Why Storm Damage Shouldn't Wait

Exposed sheathing after a storm is vulnerable to water damage with every subsequent rain, and what starts as a single loose panel can lead to rot and mold if left unaddressed for weeks. Wind can also loosen panels beyond what's immediately visible, meaning nearby sections may fail in the next storm even if they look intact now. Getting an assessment soon after a storm lets us catch and address damage before it compounds.

Our Storm Damage Repair Process

  1. 1
    Full Exterior Assessment We inspect all elevations, not just the obviously damaged area, since wind damage often extends further than what's visible from the street.
  2. 2
    Documentation We photograph and document the damage in detail, which is useful whether or not you're pursuing an insurance claim.
  3. 3
    Temporary Protection if Needed For homes with exposed sheathing, we can provide temporary weatherproofing while repair materials are sourced.
  4. 4
    Repair or Replacement Damaged sections are repaired or replaced with properly matched materials and correct fastening.

What to Expect After a Storm

We prioritize storm-related inspections given the time-sensitive nature of exposed sheathing. Once we've assessed the damage, we'll give you a clear scope of work and timeline. If your siding was damaged extensively, we'll explain what a repair versus a fuller replacement would involve, so you can make an informed decision either way.
