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.

Our Columbus, OH specialists bring manufacturer certification, real diagnostic tools, and written guarantees to every Storm Damage Siding Repair project — not just availability and a truck.

We schedule rapid local dispatch in Columbus, OH. Most projects receive a site visit within 24–48 hours of the initial call, not a week later.

We don't farm out subservice work or hand it to the newest crew member. Every Storm Damage Siding Repair project in Columbus, OH is assigned to a technician with documented experience on that specific scope.

Hail damage on vinyl siding shows as radial cracking, denting, or perforation depending on stone size and panel age. We inspect at arm's reach — not just from the driveway — and document every affected panel with geo-tagged photos for your claim file.

High winds pull panels off at the lock seam or blow entire sections off walls with aging or improperly nailed siding. We replace lost panels, re-nail loose sections to current fastener standards, and check the entire wall for panels at risk.

Branches and projectile debris create concentrated impact damage — punctured or crushed panels, damaged housewrap, and sometimes broken sheathing. We work from the outside in: panel, housewrap, sheathing, framing — in that diagnostic order.

Where panels are completely missing and a rain event is imminent, we install plywood board-up or roofing tarp over exposed wall sections as a temporary weatherproofing measure while permanent materials are sourced and scheduled.

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 OH.

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.
A clear, predictable process reduces stress and produces better results. Here's exactly what happens when you call our Columbus, OH Storm Damage Siding Repair team.
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 Columbus, OH.
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.
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.
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.
A tornado-warned storm took out 40 panels on our west elevation. Forge Siding was on-site the next morning, had the damage photographed and documented by noon, and handed me an insurance report before the adjuster even called back. That report made the claim process smooth.
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.
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.
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.
