Why Hail Damage to Siding Is a Serious Problem in Colorado
Colorado ranks among the most hail-prone states in the U.S., and the Northern Front Range sees frequent severe storms that cause significant damage to homes every year. Hailstones as small as 1 inch can cause cracks, dents, and breakage in siding—especially vinyl and fiber cement products.
Unchecked hail damage can lead to:
- Water intrusion behind the siding
- Interior mold and moisture problems
- Structural damage over time
- Voided product warranties
- Denied insurance claims if not addressed quickly
Common Signs of Hail-Damaged Siding
Damage Type | Material Affected | What to Look For | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cracks and splits | Vinyl, wood, fiber cement | Jagged breaks, especially near seams | ||||
Dents and impact marks | Vinyl, aluminum | Circular indents or soft spots | ||||
Chipping or spalling | Fiber cement (James Hardie) | Surface flaking, exposed substrate | ||||
Loose or warped panels | All siding types | Buckling or pulling away from wall | ||||

FAQs About Hail Damage to Siding
How can I tell if hail damaged my siding?
Look for dents, cracks, chips, or uneven areas on your siding, especially on walls facing the storm. Damage can also appear in trim, soffits, and flashing.
Can small hail really damage fiber cement or Hardie siding?
Yes. While James Hardie siding is durable, repeated hail impact or large hailstones can chip or spall the surface, exposing the substrate.
What if my siding looks fine but my neighbors are getting repairs?
Schedule an inspection. Some damage is not visible from the ground or may only show under certain lighting conditions. Insurance may still cover it.
Will mismatched siding lower my home’s value?
Possibly. That’s why we prioritize matching your existing product or upgrading to a fully replaced exterior if insurance allows.
How long do I have to file a hail damage insurance claim?
Policies vary, but most require claims to be filed within 6 to 12 months after a storm. Delays can reduce or void coverage.
