Inspect each affected elevation
Damage can differ around the home. Record the side of the building, the material, and the location of visible marks. Photos help your contractor explain which areas need closer examination.
Review materials and repair options
Discuss whether replacement pieces are available and how they will look next to existing siding. Ask your insurer to explain any matching or replacement provisions in your policy; a mismatch does not by itself establish coverage for replacing the whole exterior.
Schedule a free exterior inspection to discuss the work your home needs.
