Roofing & Materials
Siding damage
Dents, cracks, or holes in wall cladding from hail, wind, or impact. Siding is handled separately from roofing on a claim, with its own line items and its own repair-versus-replace rules that vary by material. Partial elevation replacement can leave a color or texture mismatch.
