Storm damage assessment requires a different level of inspection than a routine siding call. Hail impact cracking is often invisible from the ground — small radial fractures around fastener zones on vinyl, subtle surface spalling on fiber cement. We document damage at panel level, not from the driveway, and produce a photo-rich report suitable for your insurance carrier.

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

We produce photo documentation at panel face level by elevation — the detail insurance adjusters need for full-scope claim approval, not a general description from the driveway.

We don't farm out subservice work. Every Storm Damage Siding Repair project in Helmetta, NJ is assigned to a technician with documented experience on that specific scope.
Hail damage on vinyl appears as radial cracking, denting, or perforation depending on stone size and panel age. On fiber cement, look for surface spalling where factory paint has lifted in a circular pattern. We inspect at arm's reach — panel face level — not from the ground, and document every impact with a geo-referenced photo.

High winds peel panels off at the lock seam or blow entire sections off walls with aging or under-fastened siding. We replace lost panels, re-secure loose sections, and audit the fastener pattern across the entire affected wall face — not just the visibly missing section.

Tree limbs and projectile debris create concentrated structural damage: crushed panels, compressed sheathing, and sometimes fractured framing. We work from the outside in — panel, housewrap, sheathing, framing — in that order. Nothing goes back on until the structural assessment is complete.

Where panels are missing and rain is incoming, we install plywood board-up with housewrap backing over exposed wall sections as weatherproofing while permanent materials are sourced. Board-up is installed and perimeter-sealed before we leave the site.

Written damage report with panel-level photo documentation, square footage tallies by elevation, material specification lists formatted for adjuster review. We've worked with every major carrier operating in NJ and understand what specific documentation each requires.

When hail or wind damage covers an entire wall face, full elevation replacement produces the best color and texture match and is typically the scope insurance adjusters approve for severe events. We execute from claim approval to final install.

Our Helmetta, NJ team follows the same documented process on every project — so you know what to expect at every stage.
Call our storm response line and describe visible damage. We dispatch for same-day or next-morning assessment, triaged by exposure severity in your area of Helmetta, NJ.
Technician walks every elevation at arm's reach, documents panel-face damage with geo-tagged photos, probes sheathing for moisture, and identifies any board-up needs before leaving the site.
We compile the photo documentation package and written repair scope for your insurance carrier. Board-up remains in place until permanent repair is approved and scheduled.
Once scope is confirmed, permanent panel replacement, housewrap repair, and any substrate work is completed. Board-up material removed as part of the final repair scope. Site cleaned and photographed at project completion.
A major storm took out sections on our west elevation. Forge Siding was on-site the next morning, documented every panel at arm's reach, and handed me an insurance report before my adjuster even returned my initial call. That report made the difference — full replacement scope approved on first review.
They found hail impact fractures on the east elevation that our adjuster's walk-around had completely missed. Adding that documentation to the claim added significant value.
The documentation package they produced was more detailed than anything I've seen from a contractor in 15 years. Panel-by-panel photos with location references, elevation-by-elevation tallies, material spec list. The adjuster approved the scope without a single follow-up question.
They caught active sheathing moisture infiltration from the panel breach — damage the insurance initial report hadn't identified. Forge Siding documented it and had it added to the approved scope. Real advocate for the property owner, not just the fastest repair.
