Picture this likely situation in Texas. You are sitting on your front porch, minding your own business, eagerly participating in a porch stormwatch as some clouds roll in.
The rain starts pouring in buckets; rather than an ordinary thunderstorm, you quickly have to move inside as hail falls from the sky. You hear the icy lumps pounding against your home’s siding and can’t ignore the pit in your stomach that signals you may be in store for siding hail damage repair.
What do you do? Do you file an insurance claim? Do you spring for instant repairs? It’s easy for a hail storm to leave you frozen to make the right decision.
However, the solution is easy! Call Final Cut to guide you through all of these difficult decisions!
How to File a Siding Insurance Claim
After a hail storm, you should never immediately file an insurance claim unless you face substantial damage.
Not only do you risk paying two deductibles if another storm rolls in and damages your home, but insurance companies really only want to make moves on claims that show owners have put effort into mitigating further damage.
After a hail storm, call us first! We can quickly determine if there’s enough damage to file a claim. If we find you’ll need to do so, we’ll secure the damage with a temporary fix.
From there, we’ll take pictures of the state of your siding and meet with adjusters to plan out a scope of work.
If you want your insurance company to compensate you for your damage and repairs, let our team step in and make our process work toward a satisfying solution.
Siding Damage We Look For
When you reach out to us, you’re gaining the best help you can get after hail damage to siding.
After a heavy hail storm, we’ll come out and thoroughly inspect your siding, define any significant damage, and get you on the path toward filing an insurance claim. We must repair as much siding damage as possible because if left unaddressed, the following issues can lead to water damage, weakened insulation, and irreversible structural problems. 
Dents
When it hails the size of golf balls as it does so often in Dallas, hailstones can pound dents into the surface of your siding.
If your siding is metal, aluminum, or vinyl, it’s more susceptible to dent damage after a storm.
Cracks and Holes
If your siding is fiber cement or wood, a heavy hail storm can cause cracks and holes, exposing your home to the elements.
Our experts will inspect every inch of your siding and ensure we patch-up all cracks and holes before we help you file your insurance claim.
Loose or Missing Siding Pieces
Hail impact can loosen or dislodge siding panels. When we visit for our consultation, we’ll thoroughly review your property to ensure your siding pieces are in place. We will quickly spot any sections that have come loose or gone missing after a storm. These will be the first areas we patch up and help you plan for permanent repairs.
Soft Spots in Your Siding
In the case of vinyl siding, hail can cause soft spots or areas of give when pressed. All we have to do is gently press on the siding to check for any unusual softness. If your siding is malleable, this indicates underlying damage and points to a specific area we’ll replace!
