Storm damage assessments require a different eye than routine siding inspections. Hail impact cracking is often invisible from the ground — it appears as small radial fractures around the nailhead zone on vinyl or as subtle surface spalling on fiber cement. We document all damage at panel level, not just the sections that look obviously broken, and produce a photo-rich damage report suitable for your insurance carrier.

Insurance Claim Documentation Package

We produce a written damage report with panel-level photo documentation, square footage tallies by elevation, and material specification lists formatted for submission to your insurance adjuster. We've worked with every major carrier active in IL.

Full Elevation Replacement After Total Loss

When hail or wind damage is widespread across an entire elevation, a full panel replacement on that wall face produces the best color and texture match and is usually the approach insurance adjusters approve for severe events.

Our Process

The Forge Siding Storm Damage Siding Repair Workflow

A clear, predictable process reduces stress and produces better results. Here's exactly what happens when you call our Decatur, IL Storm Damage Siding Repair team.

Emergency Dispatch Call

Call our storm response line and describe the visible damage. We dispatch a crew for same-day or next-morning assessment depending on storm event volume in Decatur, IL.

On-Site Damage Documentation

Technician inspects every elevation with binoculars and close-range panel inspection, documents damage with geo-tagged photos, probes sheathing for moisture, and notes any board-up needs before leaving the site.

Insurance Documentation & Repair Scope

We compile a complete photo damage report and written repair scope. You can submit this directly to your adjuster, or we can facilitate the adjuster meeting on-site if preferred.

Permanent Repair Execution

Once scope is approved, permanent panel replacement, housewrap repair, and any substrate work is completed. Board-up material is removed and disposed of as part of the final repair scope.

Customer Reviews

Real Reviews from Storm Damage Siding Repair Clients Across Decatur, IL

★★★★★

Board-up went up same-day before the next storm front moved through. Permanent panels went on three days later once the claim was approved. Couldn't have managed that timeline without them.

C. Okafor

Decatur, IL

★★★★★

Our insurance adjuster initially low-balled the repair estimate. Forge Siding's photo documentation — every damaged panel with GPS coordinates — gave us what we needed to appeal. The final settlement matched their repair scope exactly.

B. & L. Ferris

Decatur, IL homeowner

★★★★★

Professional, fast, and completely honest about what the insurance process would look like. No promises they couldn't keep, and everything they said would happen did happen.

M. Nakamura

Decatur

★★★★★

They caught that a section of sheathing had moisture intrusion from the panel breach — damage the insurance initial report missed entirely. Forge Siding documented it and it was added to the approved scope. Real advocate for the homeowner.

FAQ

Answers to Your Storm Damage Siding Repair Questions in Decatur, IL

Hail damage on vinyl often isn't visible from the ground because the impact marks are small and appear primarily around fastener zones. Signs to look for at arm's reach: circular cracking with a bright white center point on the panel face, dents that don't pop back, or a pattern of tiny fractures running away from nailheads. On fiber cement, look for spalled surface texture where the factory paint has lifted in a circular pattern.

Most homeowner's insurance policies in IL cover sudden storm damage — hail impact, wind-driven panel loss, and debris impact — under the dwelling coverage portion, subject to your deductible. Coverage is typically for the cost to repair or replace damaged sections to pre-loss condition. We provide a detailed damage report and repair estimate formatted for adjuster review.

Our normal post-storm response time for initial assessment is same-day to next morning, depending on storm event volume across our IL service area. After a large regional event, we triage calls by exposure severity — homes with completely missing panels or interior moisture risk are dispatched first. Board-up services are available for critical exposures even when full repair scheduling is backed up.

For partial-elevation repairs, we work to match existing profiles and colors as closely as possible from current distributor stock. Vinyl siding that is more than five to seven years old will have UV-faded from its original color, which means new panels will be visibly brighter initially. On insurance claims involving a large portion of an elevation, most adjusters approve full-elevation replacement to achieve a uniform appearance.

No. You can call us first, get a damage assessment and documentation, and then submit the claim with our report already in hand. Having a detailed damage report before you call your insurer actually strengthens the claim because you're providing specific documentation rather than a general description. We don't perform any permanent repair work until you've confirmed your claim path.

We focus on the building envelope exterior below the roofline: siding, soffit, fascia, and any window trim affected by the storm. If the adjuster visits and also writes the roof, our documentation ensures the siding scope gets proper line-item treatment.
