Is Your Siding Really Damaged? How to Tell After a Storm
Hail and wind can damage more than your roof. Here’s how to spot siding, fascia, and gutter damage after a storm—and why paint alone won’t fix the problem. Includes tips on what insurance often misses.

Not all storm damage is dramatic. Sure, sometimes hail blasts holes in vinyl or rips gutters clean off. But other times, it’s more subtle—cracks, chips, loosened panels, or small dents that don’t look like much… until moisture creeps in and starts rotting what’s underneath.

We’ve seen it all. And if your siding, fascia, or gutters took a hit, here’s how to spot the signs, what your insurance needs to see, and why a good paint job can’t cover bad damage.


Start with the Big Picture

After a storm, walk around your house and look for:

  • Dents in soft metal, like gutters and downspouts
  • Cracks or holes in vinyl or fiber cement siding
  • Loosened fascia or soffit panels
  • Peeling paint, especially near corners and seams
  • Water trails or dirt streaks near damaged areas

If you see any of these signs, there’s a good chance more damage is hiding underneath.


Hail Doesn’t Just Hurt the Roof

Hail hits hard—especially in Northeast Colorado. And while most people look up at the roof, it often batters siding and gutters too. Small chips in paint can lead to water intrusion. Loosened fascia can open the door to pests. And damaged gutters? They don’t just leak—they dump water where it shouldn’t go.

We check the whole exterior, not just the top of the house.


Insurance Coverage: What Gets Missed

When adjusters walk the property, they usually start at the roof. Siding and gutters often get skipped—especially if the damage isn’t obvious.

We walk them through it. We point out impact marks, measure hail size, and show how even “cosmetic” damage can lead to future problems. If it’s covered, we make sure it’s on the scope.


Paint: The Final Touch, Not the Fix

A good paint job can bring your home back to life—but it can’t fix structural damage or cover over compromised materials. We’ll never just “paint and pray.” We repair what’s underneath first, then finish the job the right way, with color that lasts.


Not Sure What You're Looking At? Let Us Take a Look.

We don’t just paint. We inspect, repair, replace, and make sure your whole exterior is sound—top to bottom. Storm damage or not, your siding and gutters deserve a proper check.
