Common questions
Should siding be inspected after hail?
Yes. Hail and wind can damage siding, trim, gutters, windows, screens, and roof-adjacent components during the same weather event.
Can siding damage be part of the same storm as roof damage?
It can be. Exterior components often receive related impacts, so a broader exterior review can help document visible conditions.
Should I file a claim before or after an exterior inspection?
Many homeowners start by documenting visible conditions and then decide whether to contact their carrier. The carrier decides coverage and claim outcomes.
What photos should I save after storm damage?
Save ground-level photos of damaged siding, trim, screens, gutters, downspouts, roof-adjacent areas, dates, and any visible water staining.
