Hail & siding
How Colorado Springs weather damages siding.
Hail is directional. A Springs hailstorm usually rides a strong wind, so the elevations facing the storm take the hits while the other sides look fine. That’s why we photograph every side of the house, not just the one you noticed. NOAA logged 387 hail reports within 10 miles of downtown from April 2016 through June 2026, on 68 different days.
Sun and cold do the rest. High-altitude UV fades and embrittles older vinyl, and cold snaps make brittle vinyl crack on impact. Hardboard that has swelled at the edges never lies flat again. Peeling paint that keeps coming back in the same spot often means water behind the siding, not bad paint.
The leak is often at the roof line. Where a roof meets a sided wall, step flashing and a kick-out flashing at the bottom turn water into the gutter instead of down the wall. When the roofer and the siding crew work separately, that joint is where things get missed. When Homey does both, it gets done once.
Siding materials
What siding fits a Springs house.
No brand pitch. These are the trade-offs we walk you through at the inspection. More on our siding page.
Vinyl
Affordable and low-maintenance, with many profiles. Older vinyl gets brittle in cold and sun, and discontinued colors can be hard to match.
Fiber cement
Heavier, noncombustible and paintable, a common pick near the foothills. Needs careful flashing at joints and clearance from roofs and grade.
Engineered wood
Lighter than fiber cement with a wood look. Cut edges must be sealed and the paint kept up in Colorado sun.
Hardboard / pressed board
Common on older Springs homes. Once it swells it won’t lie flat again; we’ll tell you straight when it should be replaced rather than repainted.
Wood and cedar
Looks great and needs regular paint or stain at this altitude. Check HOA rules and wildfire exposure first.
Housewrap and flashing
Every replacement includes the weather barrier, window and door flashing, and kick-outs where roofs meet walls.
Matching & insurance
Matching, paint and your insurance claim.
Matching is the hard part. If your siding is discontinued, a few new panels may not match the rest of the wall. How that’s handled depends on your policy wording and your insurer; the Colorado Division of Insurance says no law requires an insurer to match undamaged areas. We show the adjuster the profile, the color and what’s actually available, so the decision is made on facts.
Siding and paint go together. Patched siding on a painted house usually needs paint to the nearest break line. We document that with the siding damage instead of finding out later. Exterior painting is part of what we do, with Sherwin-Williams products.
Claim came back light? Read appraisal vs. supplement and denied and low claims, or find your insurer in our carrier guides.
Built before 1978?
Painted surfaces on pre-1978 homes fall under the EPA’s lead-safe Renovation, Repair and Painting rule, which changes how old siding and trim are removed. We plan for it on older central Springs homes.
Colorado law bars roofers from paying, waiving or rebating your deductible (C.R.S. 6-22-105). Coverage decisions are made by your insurer under your policy. Homey is a roofing contractor, not a public adjuster.

Colorado Springs neighborhoods

Where we work in the Springs
Roofs age very differently across the city: Victorian homes in the Old North End, mid-century streets around Knob Hill and Ivywild, the master-planned Briargate area, and newer east-side builds along Powers, Stetson Hills and Banning Lewis Ranch.
Many newer Springs subdivisions have HOA design review for siding colors and materials. We prepare the color submittal with you before anything is ordered.

FAQ
Colorado Springs siding questions.
Do I need a permit to replace siding in Colorado Springs?
Yes for a real replacement. Exterior siding is on PPRBD’s list of projects that require a permit. Repairs under 100 square feet don’t need one. PPRBD’s fee table lists $115 for a wood/composite siding permit on an existing home.
Does insurance cover hail-damaged siding?
Hail damage to siding is commonly part of a covered hail claim, minus your deductible, but every policy is different. Some policies treat dents or marks that don’t affect function as cosmetic. We document every elevation; your insurer decides coverage.
What if my siding is discontinued and can’t be matched?
That’s common on older Springs homes. The Colorado Division of Insurance says no law requires an insurer to match undamaged areas, so it comes down to your policy wording and the facts. We show the adjuster the exact profile, color and what’s available.
Which siding holds up best to Colorado Springs hail?
Fiber cement and thicker, newer vinyl products generally hold up better than older, sun-brittled vinyl or hardboard. Near the foothills, fiber cement’s noncombustibility is another reason homeowners choose it. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs for your house.
Can you repair a few pieces instead of replacing the whole wall?
Often, if the profile and color are still available. If they aren’t, a patch may stand out, and you’ll want that decided before work starts, not after.
Why does water run down my wall where the roof meets the siding?
Usually a missing or failed kick-out flashing at the bottom of the roof-to-wall joint. The fix is flashing, not more caulk, and it’s easiest to do right when the roof or siding is being replaced.
Do you paint after siding repairs?
Yes. Patched siding on a painted house usually needs paint to the nearest break line, and we include that in the scope when it’s needed.
My house was built before 1978. Does that change anything?
Yes. Painted surfaces on pre-1978 homes fall under the EPA lead-safe Renovation, Repair and Painting rule, which sets how old paint is disturbed and cleaned up.
