Storm damage repair for the walls, windows and structure,
secured today, matched later.
When wind, hail or a falling tree breaks the outside of the house, the first job is keeping rain out. We board broken windows, tarp torn walls and brace damaged framing the same day, then photograph everything for your adjuster. Roof damage has its own team and page; this crew handles the rest.
Stay clear of downed lines and leaning trees. A crew lead answers day or night and tells you what is safe to do.

What happens after you text us
A local crew lead answers. Not a truck from out of state knocking on doors.
After big storms, contractors from far away go door to door. We are the opposite: you text us, a licensed local crew lead asks what is open to the weather, and you get a same-day time to secure the house.
- Licensed locally, still here after the storm season ends
- Photos tell us whether to bring plywood, tarps or shoring
- No contract signed on the doorstep, ever
The storm last night knocked a big oak limb into the side of the house. Two windows are broken and some siding is hanging off.
Hi Jennifer, this is Ryan, storm crew lead. First, is anyone hurt, and are there any power lines on or near the limb? If so, keep everyone away and call the utility.
Nobody hurt, no wires. It is resting against the wall. Sending photos.
Thanks. The limb is on the wall, not the roof, so we can cut it off the house safely. We will be there by noon to remove it, board both windows and tarp the siding. I will photograph everything for your adjuster.
That is fast. What happens after that?
Tomorrow morning I check the framing behind the siding and send a written repair estimate. You decide who does the repair once you have it.
What storm damage repair costs
Storm damage repair costs $800 to $90,000. Whether the framing is hurt decides the tier.
Most wind and hail damage to siding and windows lands in the Repair tier. When a tree breaks studs, joists or a wall, the job becomes a structural rebuild with an engineer. Roof damage is quoted separately by our roofing team.

Turn this range into a written storm estimateWhere the money goes
Siding and windows take most of a storm repair. Matching them is where cheap quotes cut corners.
Averages from our recent wind and hail repairs without structural damage. Matching discontinued siding or window styles is often the most expensive detail, and the one most likely to be missing from a quick estimate.

Patch a section or re-side the wall
Patch the damaged section when it can be matched. Re-side the whole wall when it cannot.
A patch that does not match lowers the value of the house and often leads to a dispute with the insurer. We bring samples, check the profile and color, and write down whether a section repair or a full wall is the honest answer.
| If this is true | We recommend |
|---|---|
| The siding profile and color are still made | Patch the section |
| The siding is discontinued or badly faded | Re-side the wall |
| Damage covers less than a quarter of the wall | Patch the section |
| Hail dented panels across the whole side | Re-side the wall |
| Only one or two windows were broken | Patch the section |
| Sheathing behind the siding is soaked or split | Re-side the wall |
How long it takes
The house is closed to the weather the same day, and most repairs finish within three weeks.
Board-up and tarps go on the day you call. Siding and window repairs take one to three weeks, depending on how fast matching materials arrive. Structural rebuilds after a tree strike take four to ten weeks.

Secure the house
Limbs cut away from the wall, windows boarded, torn siding tarped and every area photographed.
Days two to four

Remodeling concepts
Storm damage repair: conditions and possibilities.
AI-generated examples of existing conditions and remodeling possibilities. Each image is a separate concept, not a documented transformation of the same home.
What the repairs are made of
Every material is named in your estimate, matched to what is on the house now.
Storm repairs should look like the storm never happened. The estimate names the siding brand, profile and color, and the window type, so the adjuster and you know exactly what goes back.
Vinyl siding
Matched by profile and color from makers such as CertainTeed, Mastic and Royal, including discontinued colors found through salvage suppliers.
Fiber cement siding
James Hardie planks and trim for walls that need more hail and wind resistance, painted to match the rest of the house.
Replacement windows
Andersen, Pella and Milgard windows sized to the opening, or new glass units in the existing frames when only the pane broke.
Sheathing and house wrap
OSB or plywood sheathing and Tyvek wrap replaced behind any damaged siding, so rain that got in once cannot keep getting in.
Board-up plywood
Half-inch plywood cut to each opening and screwed, not nailed, into the frame so it comes off cleanly without more damage.
Temporary shoring
Adjustable steel posts and timber that hold up a damaged wall or porch roof until the framing is rebuilt under permit.

Your storm damage is not average
Every storm hits a house differently. Here is how the repair changes for yours.
Every storm repair starts from the same three tiers, then changes for what hit the house and how the claim is handled. Find the case that matches what you see.
Filing a storm claim
We photograph every side of the house, measure the damage and write the estimate in the format adjusters use. We meet the adjuster on site if you want, and you choose who does the repair once the estimate is approved.
Book my storm photos for the claimA tree on the house
Keep everyone out of the rooms under the tree. We coordinate a tree crew or crane to lift it off without more damage, brace the framing the same day and tarp the opening before the next band of rain arrives.
Call now about a tree on my houseHurricane or coastal wind
Coastal repairs often need impact-rated windows and siding fastened to higher wind codes. We check your local requirements and price the upgrade the code demands on its own line, which many policies cover under ordinance coverage.
Get my coastal storm repair planA house with original details
Wood clapboard, old trim profiles and original windows can be repaired rather than replaced. We match profiles with a local mill and keep the house's character in every repaired section, so the patch reads as original from the street.
Price a repair that keeps the detailsDamage under the deductible
Small storm repairs sometimes cost less than the deductible. We give you a quick written price so you can decide with your agent whether filing makes sense before a claim is opened and goes on your record.
Get my storm repair price directlyA rental property
Tenants need the unit sealed and safe fast. We secure it the same day, send you photos without a site visit and schedule repairs around the tenants, with one written estimate for the claim and one for your records.
Book storm response for my rentalStorm damage before winter
Torn siding and broken windows let cold and snow in. We close the house with rigid board-up and wrap that holds through freezing weather, and order matching materials right away, before supplier backlogs start.
Get my house closed before winterFences, decks and sheds too
Storms rarely stop at the house. We add the fence, deck and shed damage to the same estimate and the same photo set, so the claim covers the whole property in one report and one adjuster visit, not several separate claims.
Price the whole property's damageWhat this service is
Storm damage repair, defined for walls, windows and structure.
Storm damage repair is the emergency securing and permanent repair of a home's walls, windows, doors, siding, trim and framing after wind, hail or a falling tree. ProBuild Remodeling performs it as a licensed contractor: same-day board-up, tarps and bracing, documentation for insurance, and repairs matched to the existing materials. Roof damage is handled by our separate roofing team.
The service covers board-up of windows and doors, wall tarps, removal of limbs from the house in coordination with tree crews, temporary shoring, siding, trim, soffit, fascia and gutter repair, window and glass replacement, sheathing and framing repairs, and interior damage from rain getting in. It does not include roof replacement or roof repair, tree removal away from the house, or landscaping.
It is for homeowners with damage to the outside of the house after a storm, landlords with damaged rentals, and anyone filing a wind or hail claim. It is not for roof leaks after a storm, which our roofing team inspects on its own page, or for flood damage from rising water, which is a water damage loss.
The words you will see on the storm estimate
- Board-up
- Plywood screwed over broken windows or doors to keep out rain and intruders until the glass is replaced.
- Sheathing
- The plywood or OSB panels under the siding. Wind-driven rain can soak it, and it must be replaced if it stays wet.
- House wrap
- A weather barrier such as Tyvek between the sheathing and the siding that stops water and air from getting into the wall.
- Shoring
- Temporary posts and beams that hold up a damaged wall or porch until the permanent framing is rebuilt.
- Line of sight
- An insurance idea that repairs should match across a visible wall, so a patch does not stand out from the rest.
- Sistering
- Fastening a new stud or joist alongside a cracked one to restore its strength without removing the original.
- Insulated glass unit
- The sealed double or triple pane in a window. A broken seal causes fogging and the unit is replaced, not the frame.
- Wind mitigation
- Upgrades such as impact windows or stronger fastening that help a house resist wind, often required on coastal repairs.
Questions about storm damage
The eight questions people ask the morning after a storm.
How much does storm damage repair cost?
Emergency board-up and tarping run $800 to $5,000. Repairing siding, trim and windows to match runs $5,000 to $25,000. Rebuilding framing, walls or a porch after a tree strike runs $25,000 to $90,000 or more. Roof damage is priced separately.
What should I do right after a storm damages my house?
Keep everyone away from downed wires and leaning trees, photograph the damage from a safe distance, and call your insurer to report it. Then call a licensed local contractor to secure the house. Do not sign anything with a door-to-door contractor on the spot.
Who removes a tree that fell on my house?
A tree crew removes the tree, and a contractor secures and repairs the house. We coordinate both, so the tree is lifted off without more damage and the opening is braced and tarped the same day. Homeowners insurance usually covers removal when the tree hits a structure.
Does homeowners insurance cover wind and hail damage to siding?
Most policies cover sudden wind and hail damage to siding, windows and structure, minus your deductible. Some policies have separate wind or hail deductibles. We document the damage for your adjuster; the coverage decision belongs to your insurer.
How do I spot hail damage on siding and windows?
Look for dents or cracks in siding, chipped paint on trim, cracked or fogged window glass, and dents in gutters and downspouts. Damage is often only on the sides facing the storm. We inspect every side and photograph each dent.
Can you match my siding if only part of it is damaged?
Usually yes. We match the profile, size and color through the maker or salvage suppliers. When the siding is discontinued or faded, a patch will not match and we recommend re-siding the wall, which many policies cover under matching rules.
How can I tell a storm chaser from a real contractor?
Real contractors are licensed in your state, have a local address, give written estimates and never ask you to sign over your claim at the door. Be careful of anyone who asks for a large deposit or offers to cover your deductible.
How fast can you board up after a storm?
Usually the same day you call, and within hours when a window or wall is open to rain. After a widespread storm, calls are handled in order of safety: open walls and trees on houses first, then everything else.
