Vinyl siding is an excellent choice for protecting your home against harsh weather conditions in the Palantine area. However, you should be aware that there are some circumstances where it may become damaged. Hail, strong winds, and flying debris can cause serious damage to your siding and siding replacement may be needed to keep your home fully protected from the elements.
Vinyl siding is generally more resistant to damage than other types of siding, such as aluminum or wood. For example, depending upon its age and condition, vinyl is usually flexible enough to bounce back after being struck by hail or debris. Aluminum or wood siding may become permanently dented under the same conditions.
In the event of a storm, there are three common types of damage to look for with vinyl siding:
It is important to have your home inspected by a reputable siding contractor as soon as damage is found. Your insurance company may cover any needed siding replacement, but not secondary damage that is caused from putting off repair work. Also, calling a contractor before you make your insurance claim is a good idea. They can give you an estimate of the damage first, so you can compare to the amounts from your insurance company.
