Bentonville Pro Siding & Wrap has been repairing storm-damaged siding in the Bentonville, AR area for over 20 years. Wind and hail damage account for roughly 40 to 42% of all homeowners insurance claims nationally, and roughly 1 in 36 insured homes files a wind or hail-related claim each year, making storm-related siding repair one of the most common calls we receive. Northwest Arkansas sees regular severe thunderstorm activity throughout the spring and summer months, and hail impact can crack vinyl panels, dent metal trim, or strip factory finishes even when damage isn't visible from ground level.
The average insurance claim settlement for wind and hail damage runs in the range of $11,000 to $13,500 nationally, and homeowners with a high wind or hail deductible sometimes choose to skip filing a claim altogether for smaller repairs. We provide the honest damage assessment and documentation homeowners need to make that decision, along with the repair work itself once a path forward is chosen.

Most homeowners insurance policies cover siding damage from wind and hail, though many policies carry a separate wind or hail deductible that can be higher than your standard deductible, so it's worth checking your policy details before filing a claim.
Costs vary widely depending on the extent of damage, from a few hundred dollars for isolated panel repair to several thousand for more extensive damage, with average insurance settlements for wind and hail claims nationally running between $11,000 and $13,500.
We recommend an inspection within a few days of any significant hail or wind event, since prompt documentation strengthens insurance claims and catches hidden damage before it worsens with subsequent weather exposure.
It can, depending on your carrier and claims history, which is why some homeowners choose to pay out of pocket for smaller repairs rather than file a claim, particularly when the repair cost is close to the deductible amount.
Yes, hail damage often appears as small cracks, dents, or granule loss on trim and siding that's easy to miss from the ground, which is why a professional inspection after a significant storm event is worth scheduling even if damage isn't obviously visible.
