SIGNS YOU NEED SIDING WORK
Most hail damage to siding is subtle and easy to miss on a walk-by. Here's what to look for — and when to call us.
Hail-pocked panels — small circular dents, usually best seen at a raking angle in low-angle light. On vinyl, look for cracks or stress marks near impact points. On fiber cement, look for chipping or surface fractures.
Lifted or cracked panels after wind. Wind can get under the locking seam that holds horizontal siding in place and lift or snap panels. Once the seam breaks, water gets behind the panel.
Water stains on interior walls under windows — usually means the J-channel flashing (the channel that caps the top of a siding run at window openings) has failed or the caulk around the window frame has cracked.
Bubbling or warping panels — often a sign that moisture has gotten behind the siding and is trapped there. If you see warped panels, the problem is usually at a flashing detail, not the panel itself.
A hail inspection that only covers the roof is incomplete. We check every face of the house as part of our free inspection. See our storm response page for what to do immediately after a storm, and our claims advocacy page if you already have a denial in hand.
SIDING QUESTIONS
OUR SPECIALTY
Adjusters miss things. Wind speeds get rounded down. Photos go missing. Most denials and underpayments come down to documentation — and that's where we live.
We re-inspect, re-photograph, and file a supplement (a formal request for payment on items the original estimate missed). Bring us the denial letter and we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth fighting.
Re-inspect with the adjuster present
We meet them on the roof, not on the phone. Most missed damage is found this way.
Document every slope
Drone shots, close-ups of every dent and tear. Photos win supplements.
File a written supplement
A supplement is a formal request for additional payment on items the initial estimate missed. We write it, sign it, and follow up.
No fee if there's no claim
We work under the insurance proceeds. If there's no check, there's no invoice.
