Colorado homeowners are, unfortunately, no strangers to hailstorms. These intense bursts of icy weather can leave a trail of damage in just a few short minutes. They especially affect the exterior of your home, with your windows and siding often being the first to take a hit.
Understanding the potential damage to your home and how to respond quickly can save you money and stress in the long run.
How Does Hail Damage Your Windows and Siding?
Cracked or Shattered Glass:
Hailstones can vary in size, from the size of a pea to a baseball. Larger hail can crack, chip, or completely shatter window panes, compromising the safety and insulation of your home.
Damaged Window Frames:
Even if the glass survives, vinyl, wood, or aluminum frames can be dented, cracked, or warped by hail. This damage may not be immediately visible. However, it can affect how well your windows seal and insulate.
Broken Seals and Water Infiltration:
The force of hail can damage the seal around your windows, leading to air leaks and water infiltration. This can result in mold growth or interior damage over time.
Siding Dents, Cracks, and Holes:
Hail often leaves visible damage on siding—dents in aluminum, cracks in vinyl, or chipped paint on fiber cement. Not only does this hurt your home’s curb appeal, but also it can expose the underlying structure to moisture and pests.
What Should You Do After a Hailstorm?
Inspect the Damage:
We safely walk around your home and inspect your windows and siding. We look for obvious cracks, dents, or holes. From inside the home, we will check for drafts, foggy glass, or water stains near windows.
Take Photos for Insurance Claims:
Document all visible damage as soon as possible. This is crucial if you plan to file a claim with your homeowner’s insurance.
Schedule a Professional Inspection:
Not all damage is visible to the untrained eye. A professional inspection by New Windows for America can help assess the extent of the damage. They can also determine whether repair or full replacement is the better option.
