Our Storm Siding Repair Expertise
Types of Storm Siding Damage We Repair
Wind Uplift & Blow-Off Damage
Hurricane and severe storm winds can lift and tear off siding panels, especially at corners and edges where wind pressure is highest. We assess wind damage patterns and provide proper repairs using enhanced attachment methods.
Impact Damage from Flying Debris
Wind-blown debris during storms can puncture, crack, or dent siding materials. Impact damage assessment includes evaluation of both visible damage and potential hidden damage to underlying structure.
Pressure Differential Damage
Rapid pressure changes during storms can cause siding to buckle, warp, or separate from buildings. Pressure damage often indicates structural movement requiring comprehensive assessment and repair.
Water Intrusion Behind Siding
Storm-driven rain can penetrate damaged siding systems, causing water damage to sheathing, insulation, and interior walls. Water intrusion repair includes addressing both siding damage and underlying moisture issues.
