Hail damage can cause costly damage to your home’s exterior. Not only does a hail damaged home look less than ideal, but the chipped paint can actually lead to longer term problems if not taken care of immediately.

Your home’s exterior paint protects the wood siding and trim from all of the elements including snow, rain, sleet, and sun. When it starts to become cracked and damaged, the elements are able to work their way in and the wood underneath can split, rot, and mold. Knowing when to update your home’s exterior paint can save you money in the long run by avoiding costly repairs down the road.

What Does Hail Damage Look Like?

It’s important to be able to recognize what hail damage looks like on your home in order to get the proper repairs. Here are some common signs of hail damage to look for on your home’s exterior:

• Chipped or cracked paint
• Splitting wood siding
• Dents or dings in the wood on paint

If there has been a recent hailstorm in your area, it is best to give your home’s exterior a quick check to be sure there is no damage that goes unattended to.
