Hail on vinyl
Hail punches half moon cracks and holes into the elevation that faced the storm, usually low on the wall from wind driven angles. Old brittle vinyl breaks under hail that would only mark a newer panel.

Storm Damage Siding in Northern Virginia
Hail cracks vinyl and dents aluminum, and wind pulls panels off their locks so water gets behind the wall. We document what the storm actually did and repair it, and we never knock on doors to find you.

Overview
Siding damage is easy to miss from the ground and easy to exaggerate from a ladder, so we photograph every elevation, mark the hits, and let the evidence say what the storm did.
Cracked vinyl looks cosmetic until you remember the panel is a rain screen and the water it lets through lands on housewrap that might be thirty years old. We check the wall behind the damage where we can, note the date of loss, and put every photo on CompanyCam so you have a record whether you file or not. If it is not storm damage, we say so.
Wind and unlocked panels
Wind gets under a course and unzips it. Panels that look fine from the yard can be unlocked from the one below, which we find by hand, not from a photo shot with a drone.
Matching an old profile
Discontinued colors and profiles are the real fight on a siding claim. We identify the product, source it where it still exists, and document it properly when a match genuinely is not available.
Detail
How a siding storm claim should run
The claim process is where homeowners get taken, so here is how we run it and what you should demand from anyone else who shows up on your street after a storm.
- Never sign an AOBAn assignment of benefits hands your claim rights to the contractor. You stop being the person who decides the scope, the payment and the settlement on your own house. We do not ask for one and you should not sign one for anybody.
- Nobody covers your deductibleIf someone offers to eat your deductible or write it off, they are proposing insurance fraud in Virginia and putting your name on it. Walk away. Your deductible is your part of the contract with your carrier.
- Read the workers comp certificateAsk for the certificate and check the class code. Siding and gutter work has to carry the sheet metal class, and a policy written for something cheaper leaves you exposed if a crew member gets hurt on your wall.
- Verify the license at DPORVirginia licenses are public. Look ours up, 2705155080, and look up anyone else you are considering. A storm chaser working under somebody else's number is common, and it becomes your problem when they leave.

Questions
Storm Damage Siding questions we get asked
Can hail really damage siding?
Yes, and the size that does it is smaller than most people expect on older vinyl. You get cracks that run through the panel, chips at the butt edge and holes in brittle material. Aluminum and steel dent instead. On fiber cement you look for chipping and cracked butt joints.
Will insurance pay for siding or just the roof?
It depends on the policy and the damage, but siding is frequently part of a storm claim alongside the roof and gutters. Adjusters look for an impact pattern consistent with the date of loss. We document every elevation so the whole picture is in front of them, then repair to the approved scope.
What if my siding color is discontinued?
That is a documented condition, not a shrug. When a match no longer exists, the conversation with your carrier is about how much of the elevation or the house has to be replaced for a uniform appearance. We supply the product research that supports the argument.
Should I let the guy who knocked on my door climb up first?
Your call, but ask him for a Virginia license number, a workers comp certificate carrying the sheet metal class code, and a local address. After a storm the DMV fills with out of state crews who leave when the work dries up. A warranty follows the company, and some of them will not exist next spring.
Do you discount the job if insurance is paying?
No. We do not discount insurance claims restoration work. The scope is the scope and the price is what the work costs to do correctly, which is also what keeps the settlement honest. Anyone cutting the price is either cutting the work or building the discount back in somewhere else.

Protect the walls
Overflowing gutters soak siding and windows first.
A clogged gutter dumps water down the face of the house, over siding, window trim and door heads, and into the foundation below. Keeping the gutters clean on a schedule protects the work you just paid for. Cleared by hand, every downspout flushed, photos of the whole roofline.
