Storm and hail damage is the single largest trigger for siding replacement in markets with active weather events. After a significant hail event, inbound calls spike as homeowners assess damage and begin the insurance process. Being positioned to handle that volume -- with a clear damage assessment process and insurance support -- turns storm season into the highest revenue window of the year for siding contractors in affected markets.
