Storm siding damage in Clayton rarely waits for a convenient week. Call our team at (314) 618-8888 for a free inspection and a written insurance-ready scope, and we will have your home documented, tarped if needed, and on the schedule fast.
When the May 16, 2025 EF3 tornado tore through Clayton at 152 mph, storm damage siding was one of the first things homeowners here inspected. Torn Hardie panels, punctured aluminum trim, cracked soffit boards, popped starter strips, and peeled J-channel showed up on more than 5,000 buildings across the city, from Wydown Boulevard to Carrswold and the DeMun brick blocks near the St. Louis line. Top Quality Exteriors documents every wind and hail hit on your Clayton home so the replacement scope lines up with what your carrier will actually pay for.
Because Clayton homes are predominantly full-masonry brick, most storm siding work here concentrates on gables, dormers, soffit, fascia, and rear additions rather than whole-house wraps. Our crews color-match fiber cement, replace damaged J-channel and torn house wrap behind failed panels, retie water-management flashings, and pair every repair with a targeted siding repair in Clayton plan that clears the city architectural review process before we ever roll a truck onto your driveway or lean a ladder against a Tudor gable.
Storm damage on a Clayton siding job rarely looks like a suburban tract home. The 1920s Tudors of Claverach Park, the Georgian Revival streets of Carrswold, and the brick low-rises around DeMun all carry mixed exterior assemblies where fiber cement gables meet full-masonry walls, and a single hail-driven crack can telegraph water into the house wrap behind. Our crews pull failed panels back to the WRB, replace torn Tyvek, re-flash windows, chimneys, and dormer transitions, then reinstall James Hardie or LP SmartSide with the correct 1-1/4-inch nail penetration into solid framing so the wall holds through the next event. We reference the 2024 season, when 81 hail reports landed within 10 miles of Clayton and stones up to 2.25 inches punched through older vinyl and aluminum trim on Wydown, Bemiston, and Moorlands streets. Every scope is built to survive the next front, not just pass a quick drive-by inspection. For a matching siding installation in Clayton quote, call (314) 618-8888.
Storm calls in Clayton move fast after tornado or hail events, so our process is built to protect your home first, document the damage for your insurer next, and get color-matched panels back on the wall before the next front rolls in.
We walk your Clayton elevations within 24 hours and log every crack. Photos, measurements, and moisture data go into a written report. You get a copy the same afternoon we visit.
Our team meets your adjuster on-site to walk the damage together. We reference Missouri code and matching rules for the estimate. Nothing important on the elevation gets left off.
If sheathing is exposed, we tarp and shrink-wrap the wall same day. Temporary panels get fastened where rain threatens. Your interior stays dry while we source final materials.
We source Hardie, LP SmartSide, or vinyl to fit your profile and color. Discontinued lines get flagged early with the carrier. Every board comes with a factory paint code match.
Crews reinstall siding to manufacturer spec and reseal every penetration. A final walk-through confirms the wall reads correctly. Your job carries a 36-month workmanship warranty.
We founded Top Quality Exteriors in 2022, but our field leads bring more than seven years of industry experience across St. Louis metro siding work, and the last three seasons put every hour of it to the test in Clayton. When the May 2025 EF3 tore across Wydown Boulevard, our phones lit up with homeowners whose fiber cement gables and dormer soffits had been shredded by wind-driven debris and falling limbs from the mature street-tree canopy that defines the corridor.
Our owner Mario Granados walks major storm jobs personally, and our 52-plus team members are trained to respect the architectural review standards that Clayton actually enforces on visible exterior work in historic districts. We are a BBB A+ accredited business, Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, and a James Hardie Alliance Program member, so the fiber cement we install on your gables carries the full manufacturer warranty alongside our own coverage.
Most storm siding repairs in Clayton run smaller than a full re-side because damage concentrates on gables, dormers, and soffit runs above brick walls. A partial fiber cement replacement on one gable typically lands in the low-to-mid four figures, while a whole-elevation Hardie swap after a direct tornado hit can reach five figures once WRB, flashing, permit fees, and paint match are priced in. We break every estimate down line by line so nothing is buried in the total.
Insurance covers most storm work when the loss is documented within the Missouri 12-month claim window. We file the ACV and depreciation math with your carrier, then collect the recoverable depreciation on your behalf once work is complete and city-inspected on the final walk. Hearth and GreenSky financing cover the deductible or any material upgrade you elect on the gables. Ask for a written emergency siding tarping in Clayton quote up front.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
