EXTERIOR STORM DAMAGE
Exterior Storm Damage Beyond the Roof
Hail and wind hit the whole house. Looking at the gutters, siding, trim and exterior metal alongside the roof gives a clearer picture — and often confirms what happened on the roof.
01
How Storm Damage Connects Across the Exterior
The same storm usually leaves matching evidence on several surfaces.
01 · WHERE STORMS LEAVE EVIDENCE
Roof surface
Hail bruises, cracked or missing shingles, dented metal panels and broken tiles.

Gutters and Downspouts
Hail dents gutters and downspouts; wind and ice pull them loose. Damaged gutters can send water toward fascia and foundations.

- Dents and split seams
- Loose or bent hangers
- Gutters pulled from fascia
- Crushed downspouts
03
Siding and Trim
Hail can crack, hole or chip siding and trim, usually worst on the storm-facing side. Wind can loosen panels and trim pieces.
04
Exterior Metal
Window wraps, fascia metal, vent covers and other soft metals dent easily and help show hail size and direction.

05
Other Components
We note other exterior conditions we observe, such as damaged screens, fences or outdoor equipment, so you have a complete picture. Some of these are outside our services, and we'll say so.
06
Roof and Exterior Together
Evaluating everything at once helps decide whether work should be coordinated, and avoids repeat visits.
07
Storm Damage Across Our Regions
Weather patterns differ across the areas we serve, so the evidence we look for changes too.
