Repairing Hail Damage to Windows, Screens, and Siding

When hailstorms hit, most homeowners immediately think of roof damage. Most of the visitors to our Storm Center are looking for information on roof repairs.

But some of the most telling—and costly—impacts can be found elsewhere on your home. Through our Haag Certification, we’ve learned exactly what to look for, and we’re able to walk your property alongside the insurance adjuster to identify hidden damage.

Here’s where we look first:

Damage on Window Screens

Hailstones coming in at an angle often leave visible marks on window screens. You may notice impact points, tears, or even full penetrations. Even if the frame itself looks intact, damaged screens are a strong indicator of a hail event. Our window repair and installation experts can give you an honest quote for repairs.

Dents or Damage to Windows & Frames

The glass may not always break, but hail can chip paint, crack seals, or dent the metal and vinyl framing around windows. Over time, this can lead to leaks, drafts, and reduced energy efficiency. We look for consistent impact patterns across multiple windows to confirm storm damage.

Siding in Need of Repair

Vinyl siding is especially vulnerable. Hail can leave behind small round divots, cracks, or chips in the panels. In some cases, it may shatter the siding altogether. Fiber cement and wood siding can show bruising, chipping, or paint loss. The key is to look for widespread damage across large areas, not just in one spot. If you see something, our siding installation teams can come take a look.

Issues with Gutters & Downspouts

Though part of the drainage system, gutters are also a great hail indicator. Look for dents on the outward-facing side, or divots where hail struck from above. Damaged gutters don’t just signal a storm—they can also compromise how water is managed around your home. Our team has experience installing and repairing all types of gutter systems.

Why Hail Damage Matters

Insurance companies often require proof that damage is storm-related and not from age or installation. Localized marks in just one corner usually don’t pass inspection. But consistent dents, cracks, or tears across your windows, siding, and screens provide clear evidence of hail impact.
