When a storm leaves its mark on your home, dealing with the aftermath can be overwhelming. The sight of your damaged siding can be harrowing, and not knowing what immediate steps to take could also be a safety hazard. As a siding and roofing company, we understand how critical it is to swiftly handle storm damage, and we’re well-equipped to get your home back in top shape. Here’s what you can do to address storm damage on your siding.
To effectively address storm-damaged siding, it’s imperative to follow a systematic approach.
1. Assess the Damage
Begin by thoroughly evaluating the extent of the damage. While it may initially appear that only a few panels are affected, underlying issues could be lurking beneath the surface. Professional experts from a home improvement company can help uncover hidden damage that may not be immediately visible to the untrained eye.
2. File an Insurance Claim Promptly
As soon as you’ve assessed the damage, it’s crucial to initiate the insurance claims process without delay. Provide your insurance company with comprehensive information and evidence, such as photographs of the damage, to expedite the claims process and increase the likelihood of a successful claim.
3. Consider a Siding Replacement
Perhaps the most critical step in addressing storm-damaged siding is to refrain from attempting repairs on your own. Reach out to experienced professionals who specialize in storm damage restoration and seek advice on whether it’s best to have your siding replaced.
