In Lakewood, one spring hailstorm can crack siding on every side of a house. Strong wind can lift panels and tear them loose. Even a small hole lets rain reach the wall behind it.
We handle siding repair in Lakewood, Crystal Lake, and Cary, from a few loose panels to a full storm restoration. We fix vinyl, fiber cement, and wood siding, plus the trim, soffit, and fascia around it.
We are a siding contractor first. Our crews match new panels to your house and seal the wall underneath. Most repairs are booked within days of your call.
Every siding repair starts with a free inspection of all four walls. We photograph each damaged panel and mark it on a simple report. You can send that report straight to your insurer.
Storm damage on siding is easy to miss from the driveway. Hail leaves small cracks and dents, often on just one side of the house. Here is what we look for during siding repair inspections in Lakewood:
Many homes around Turnberry face open ground to the west, where storms hit hardest. We check that side first. If the roof took a hit too, see our storm and hail damage restoration service.
Not every storm means new siding. Siding repair makes sense when the damage stays in a few spots. Replacement makes sense when damage covers whole walls or the siding is near the end of its life.
Panel matching: Siding fades over time. A new panel can look different from the wall around it. We match color, profile, and texture, or pull matching panels from a hidden wall.
Age and condition: Brittle, chalky vinyl cracks again in the next storm. We tell you plainly when repair is a short-term fix.
Insurance coverage: Storm damage is often covered by your homeowners policy. We give you dated photos and a written scope for your claim. The Illinois Department of Insurance explains your rights when you file. If a full new wall is the better choice, see our vinyl siding installation and replacement service.
The first days after a storm matter most. Open holes let rain and wind-driven snow into the wall. These steps protect your house in the Village of Lakewood until repairs begin.
Take photos: Shoot every damaged wall from close up and from far away. Include hail on the ground if you can.
Cover open holes: We can tape or tarp open spots the same week. This stops water from reaching the sheathing.
Call your insurer early: Most policies have time limits on storm claims. We can meet your adjuster at the house and walk the damage together.
Pick up debris: Loose panels and trim in the yard can tear more siding in the next wind.
Good siding repair fixes what is behind the panel, not only the panel itself. We work in the same order on every house:
Lakewood swings from hot summers to freezing winters. Panels must move freely, or they buckle by July. We also repair siding in Crystal Lake and Barrington with the same steps. For roof work after the same storm, see our roof repair service.
How does siding repair in Lakewood work? We inspect every wall, document the storm damage, and protect open spots. Then we replace damaged panels, fix the wall behind them, and match the finish.
Here is how each step of siding repair works on a typical storm job:
Step 1 – Inspection: We walk the house and check siding, trim, soffit, and fascia. Damaged areas are marked.
Step 2 – Photo report: You get dated photos of every damaged panel. The report is ready for your claim.
Step 3 – Temporary protection: Open holes are covered so rain cannot reach the sheathing.
Step 4 – Adjuster meeting: We meet your adjuster at the house if you want us there.
Step 5 – Repair: Damaged panels come off, the wall is checked, and matched panels go on.
Step 6 – Final walkthrough: We clean up nails and debris and walk the house with you. For homes near RedTail, we check fences and decks for stray siding too.
Here are common questions about siding repair from homeowners in Lakewood, Crystal Lake, Cary, and nearby towns:
Yes, we replace single panels or small sections without redoing the whole wall. We release the damaged panels and slide matched panels into place. The rest of the wall stays as it is.
In most cases, yes. We match color, profile, and texture from current product lines. When the old siding has faded, we can move panels from a hidden wall to the front.
Storm and hail damage is often covered, but it depends on your policy. We give you dated photos and a written scope for your claim. Your insurer makes the final call on coverage.
Look for round dents, cracks, and small holes, often on one side of the house. Check window trim and downspouts for dents too. We do a free inspection and mark every damaged panel.
As soon as you can, ideally within a few weeks. Open holes let water into the wall and the damage spreads. We can cover open spots the same week while you wait on your claim.
Yes, strong wind can pull panels loose without cracking them. A loose panel may look fine but flap in the next storm. We relock or replace loose panels and check the nails.
Yes, we repair vinyl, fiber cement, and wood siding. Fiber cement pieces are cut, fastened, caulked, and painted to match. Wood siding is patched or replaced board by board.
Yes, water can run behind cracked or loose panels. It can rot sheathing and stain drywall near windows and outlets. We check the wall behind every panel we remove.
Yes, we can meet your adjuster at the house and walk the damage together. Hidden damage found during the repair is photographed and sent as a supplement.
Repair is better when damage is limited to a few spots and the siding is in good shape. Replacement is better when whole walls are damaged or the siding is brittle. We show you both options after our inspection.
Damaged siding gets worse with each storm and each freeze. Water behind a cracked panel can rot sheathing and reach your insulation. We offer free siding inspections in Lakewood, Crystal Lake, Cary, and Barrington. You see the damage in photos before you decide anything.
