Hailstorms can dramatically impact the integrity of your home, particularly the siding, which serves as a critical protective barrier. At Trojan Roofing, we specialize in restoring this vital protection to ensure your home remains secure and visually appealing despite nature’s challenges.
Understanding the Impact of Hail on Siding
Identifying Damage by Material
Hail damage varies depending on the type of siding your home features:
- Vinyl Siding: Look for cracking or chipping, as vinyl tends to become brittle under hail impact.
- Stucco Siding: Although tough, stucco can crack upon impact, subtly compromising its structural integrity.
- Aluminum Siding: This material may show dents and a characteristic whitish discoloration from oxidation.
- Wood and Other Metals: Damage may not be immediately apparent and requires close inspection for dents or warping.
Immediate Steps After a Hailstorm
Insurance and Inspection
First, review your homeowner’s insurance policy to understand coverage for hail damage. Following this, conduct a detailed inspection of your siding, documenting any damage with photos and notes.
Professional Assessment
It is advisable to have a professional evaluate the damage to ensure all areas of concern are identified. This assessment will be crucial for insurance claims and planning the repair process.
