We produce panel-level photo documentation packages formatted for insurance adjuster review — close-range images by elevation, written damage scope, and material specs. Not a general description from the driveway. Panel-by-panel evidence.
Not every crew offering Storm Damage Siding Repair in Austin, MN has the manufacturer certifications and documented track record to back the claim. Here's what separates our team.
Emergency inventory maintained for post-storm mobilization. Priority dispatch by exposure severity — active wall breaches go to the front of the queue.
Close-range photo documentation at panel face level by elevation. The detail insurance adjusters need for full-scope approval — not an overview from 20 feet away.
Plywood board-up with housewrap backing over missing or critically breached sections when rain is imminent. Perimeter-sealed and structurally fastened before we leave the site.
We know what specific MN carriers require in adjuster documentation. Our panel-level reports have supported full-scope approvals on storm claims that initially came in under-valued.
We don't farm out our Storm Damage Siding Repair work. Every project in Austin, MN is assigned to a technician with documented experience on that specific scope.
We inspect at arm's reach — not from the driveway. Radial cracking on vinyl, surface spalling on fiber cement, and compression dents that don't spring back are all documented by panel and elevation with geo-referenced photos.
High winds peel panels off at the lock seam or remove entire sections. We replace lost panels, re-secure loose sections, and audit the fastener pattern across the full affected wall — not just the visibly missing area.
Limb falls create concentrated structural damage. We triage structural stability first, then work outward through sheathing, housewrap, and cladding. Nothing goes back on until the structural assessment is complete.
Plywood board-up with housewrap backing over critically exposed wall sections. Installed within hours of your call, structurally fastened, and perimeter-sealed to prevent wind-driven water intrusion.
Written damage report with panel-level photo documentation, square footage tallies by elevation, and material specification lists formatted for adjuster review. Produced for active claims at no additional charge.
When hail or wind damage covers a full wall face, elevation replacement produces the best color and texture match. We execute from claim approval to final installation.

A major storm took out sections on our west elevation. Forge Siding was on-site the next morning, documented every panel at close range, and handed me an insurance report before my adjuster even returned my call. Full replacement scope approved on first review.
They found active sheathing moisture infiltration from the breach that the initial adjuster report hadn't identified. Documented it and had it added to the approved scope. Real advocate for the property owner.
Response after the storm was fast and organized. They were managing multiple calls across the area and still arrived within 24 hours. Assessment was systematic and documented in writing before any scope was recommended.
