What we actually repair
- Dented and creased panels from hail, falling limbs, ladders and equipment. Aluminum dents where vinyl cracks — the panel often still works, and it is still a documented loss.
- Loose, rattling and lifted panels where the lock has released or the original nailing failed. If you can hear your siding in a windstorm, it has already started to let go.
- Punctures and holes including woodpecker damage, which is common across Montgomery County and needs the cavity addressed, not just the hole covered.
- Failing soffit, fascia and trim capping — the line where water and animals get into the roof edge. This is where we look first.
- Corner posts, J-channel and window wrap that has separated, letting water behind the wall.
- Oil-canning and warped runs caused by panels nailed too tight to move with temperature.
- Chalking, oxidation and rust bleed — we tell you whether the metal is sound enough to repaint or whether the finish is gone past saving.
How it works in Wheaton
- Free inspection and photo report within 24 hours. We walk every elevation, photograph each condition, identify your panel profile and exposure, and check the trim line and the roof edge while we are there.
- You get a straight answer on repair versus replace. If a repair will look obvious and you would hate it, we say so. If the metal is sound and a repair is genuinely the right call, we say that too, even though it is the smaller job.
- If it is storm damage, we meet your adjuster. We present the photo evidence and a line-item scope on site so nothing legitimate gets written out of the claim.
- We do the work and stand behind it. Written scope before we start, MHIC #111971 and and a workmanship warranty in writing.

Wheaton aluminum siding questions
Can you still get aluminum siding to match my Wheaton house?
Often yes. Aluminum siding was made in a limited set of panel profiles and exposures, and salvage and specialty suppliers still carry many of them. Color is the harder part because fifty years of sun has changed your existing panels. We bring a sample board, compare in daylight, and tell you honestly whether a repair will read as invisible or whether you are better served re-siding one full elevation so the wall is uniform.
Can you replace just one panel?
Yes. Aluminum siding interlocks, so a single damaged panel can be unlocked and swapped without disturbing the panels around it. That is one of the real advantages aluminum has over vinyl, which usually cracks when you try to unlock it cold.
Is it cheaper to repair, repaint, or replace?
In rough order: a targeted panel repair is the cheapest, a professional repaint of sound aluminum sits in the middle and buys you roughly ten to fifteen years, and full replacement is the largest number but resets the envelope and comes with a warranty. Which one is right depends on whether the metal itself is sound or whether it is dented, punctured and oxidized past the point where paint will hold.
Does insurance cover dented aluminum siding in MD?
Frequently, yes. Hail and wind damage to siding is a covered peril on most homeowners policies, and dents count as damage even when the panel is still shedding water — you are insured for the condition of the property, not only for active leaks. The claim turns on documentation. We photograph the damage in the format adjusters expect and we meet the adjuster on site.
