Siding is designed to be durable and long-lasting, but it can become damaged in some circumstances. A storm with strong winds, flying debris, or hail can cause siding to become dented, cracked, broken, or even to be ripped off the house completely. If your house’s siding is damaged, it can no longer protect your home from the weather and needs to be replaced as soon as possible.
When to Check Your House for Siding Damage
The damage to your siding may not be apparent right away. If your area was hit by a hail storm, you may not see dents in the siding at times of the day when the sun is high in the sky. The damage may only be visible in the early morning or late evening.
Homeowners Insurance Coverage for Siding Damage
Homeowners insurance is designed to pay to repair damage to a home caused by several types of natural occurrences that are not the fault of the homeowner. Your homeowners insurance policy should cover the cost to repair siding that has been damaged by the weather.
If only one side of your house has damaged siding, your homeowners insurance policy may pay for the cost to replace the siding on the entire house. This is because it can be difficult to match the color and material of the existing siding, especially if it is several years old. Many homeowners insurance policies contain endorsements that will pay the cost of residing an entire house, even if only one side is damaged.
