Storm Damage Siding Repair
Chicago & DuPage County

Yes — in most cases, storm damage to siding is a covered peril under standard homeowner's insurance policies. Hail impact, wind damage, and damage from falling debris are typically included. The key is prompt, professional documentation. Alta Property Services prepares Xactimate-formatted damage scopes that insurance adjusters expect, which significantly improves your chances of a full replacement approval. We bill your carrier directly and handle the claim coordination — you pay your deductible, and we do the rest.

Hail damage to siding is often subtle and difficult to spot without training. Look for: circular dents or cracking in vinyl panels, cracked or shattered sections in fiber cement, indentations in aluminum siding, and chipped paint or splits along edges. Importantly, hail damage to siding almost always coincides with hail damage to your roof, gutters, and window screens — checking those first can confirm a weather event significant enough to damage siding. When in doubt, call Alta for a free inspection at (630) 461-9229; our certified inspectors know exactly what insurance adjusters look for.

Immediately — delay is expensive. Cracked, missing, or penetrated siding panels expose your home's house wrap, OSB sheathing, and wall cavity to moisture. In Chicago's climate, even a single rain event through damaged siding can introduce water behind the walls, leading to mold growth, insulation saturation, and structural framing damage that can multiply repair costs tenfold. Insurance policies also have clauses requiring prompt notification and mitigation — waiting too long can jeopardize your claim. Alta's 24/7 emergency team can tarp or board up any acute exposures immediately and begin the full repair process as soon as your claim is approved.

In most cases, yes. Alta maintains an extensive inventory of vinyl siding profiles across major manufacturers, and we work with fiber cement suppliers to source current and discontinued colors. For older homes where an exact match is unavailable, we provide honest guidance: we can often replace an entire affected elevation to create a visually consistent result, which is typically what insurance carriers approve anyway. We'll always show you samples and confirm the match before ordering materials.
