Storms do not stop at the roofline. We repair and replace siding, windows, doors, gutters and trim so the whole exterior is restored under one scope.
Hail that damages a roof also cracks vinyl siding, dents aluminum wraps and gutters, breaks window seals and tears screens. These items are easy to miss on an initial inspection and are often left off a first insurance estimate.
We inspect every elevation, document all of it, and complete the exterior as a single project: siding, house wrap, windows, doors, soffit, fascia, gutters and paint. Where a full replacement is not warranted, we repair and match as closely as available materials allow.
Vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood and metal siding repaired or replaced.
Broken glass, failed seals, damaged frames and entry doors replaced.
Dented or detached gutters replaced and properly pitched.
Damaged aluminum wrap and wood trim repaired or replaced.
House wrap, window flashing and sealants renewed behind new siding.
Trim, doors and paintable siding finished to match.
How it works
Every side of the home is checked and photographed, including screens, wraps and fixtures.
We make sure exterior items are included in the claim before work starts.
Work proceeds elevation by elevation with the weather barrier restored first.
Caulk, paint, cleanup and a final walk-around.

Storms here typically come out of the west and northwest, so those elevations take the most hail. That raises the matching question: siding that has weathered for fifteen years rarely matches a new panel. We document discontinued profiles and color differences so your insurer can evaluate matching under your policy.
