If the 2025 tornado or a spring hailstorm left your Richmond Heights siding cracked or loose, don’t wait for the next rain to find the damage. Call (314) 618-8888 and we’ll set up a free inspection, explain what we find, and map out the repair.
The EF3 tornado that tracked through Richmond Heights on May 16, 2025, with winds up to about 150 mph, left more than uprooted trees behind. It also left cracked gable cladding, peeled soffit, and wind-driven rain soaking sheathing behind walls that looked fine from the street, and the same storm outbreak dropped hail on top of it. Storm damage siding repair in Richmond Heights, MO starts with finding that hidden water before it rots framing, and homeowners call Top Quality Exteriors when the adjuster has come and gone and the scope still feels incomplete.
We photograph every impact, log moisture readings behind loose panels, and write the scope line by line so the claim reflects the real wall, not a quick walk-around from the lawn. On the brick bungalows and Tudors of Hampton Park and Berkshire, damage clusters on gables, dormers, soffit, and fascia, the small share of each elevation that isn’t masonry. If only one section took the hit, we pair the claim with siding repair in Richmond Heights; if a whole elevation is compromised, we price a full matched replacement.
This part of Missouri sits in one of the country’s most active hail corridors, averaging three to five significant hail events a year, and that wear stacks up on 1930s siding trim long before a tornado arrives. In 63117, 63143, and 63144, mature oaks hang over narrow streets, so straight-line wind drops limbs onto dormer cheeks and fascia boards painted a dozen times. Old wood soffit takes a double hit: hail bruises the face, then woodpeckers and moisture finish the rot. Hail also fractures vinyl butt joints and chips fiber cement edges, and wind lifts nail heads so the next gust peels whole runs off a wall. Crews also have to plan around steep driveways and tight curbs, so ladders and material drops get staged before a single panel comes off. When rain is forecast before repairs can start, our 24/7 Emergency Response team can cover exposed walls with emergency siding tarping in Richmond Heights, keeping water out of the wall cavity while your claim moves forward.
Storm claims can feel like a second job, so we keep our part simple and documented from day one. Here is the five-step path we follow on Richmond Heights homes, from your first phone call all the way through the final wall walk with you.
We walk every elevation, gables and dormers included. We photograph each impact and check moisture behind loose panels. You get every finding in writing, with photos attached.
We tie each hail hit and wind tear to a dated photo and a line item. Those records show the adjuster exactly what the storm did. Your claim file stays clean, dated, and complete.
Missouri homeowners can bring a contractor to the adjuster meeting. We attend and point out gable, soffit, and trim damage. Nothing gets missed on the walkthrough, even up high.
Once the scope is approved, we pick matching vinyl or fiber cement. We tell you if the city requires a permit for the work. Then we plan material staging, even on steep driveways.
Crews replace damaged siding, wrap, flashing, and trim. We walk the finished walls with you and clean up. Our 36-month workmanship warranty covers all the work on every project.
Top Quality Exteriors is an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and a James Hardie Alliance Program Member, founded in 2022 with 7+ years of industry experience behind our crews. We’re licensed in Missouri and carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, which matters with a ladder against a steep Tudor gable. That experience shows in how we handle a tornado or hail claim: dated photos, moisture readings, and a scope an adjuster can check against the wall.
Insurance adjusters see the ground-level view. We look at what they can’t reach from the lawn: painted trim hiding rot, soffit returns with water stains, and gable ends where wind-driven rain got behind the cladding. When the first scope misses something, we document it and request a supplement with photos rather than arguing about it. For Richmond Heights homeowners, that means fewer surprises once the crew opens up the wall.
What a storm siding job costs depends on wall area, material, and how much trim sits on the damaged elevations, and a Richmond Heights brick home often needs far less cladding than a full-vinyl house. Your policy’s RCV or ACV terms, depreciation, and deductible decide what the insurer pays. Ask for the scope in writing and compare it line by line against the insurer’s estimate, with photos of every damaged elevation beside it.
If you’re replacing more than a patch, siding installation in Richmond Heights lets us match James Hardie fiber cement or vinyl to the existing look of your home. We offer Hearth and GreenSky financing for the portion insurance doesn’t cover, and every job carries a 36-month workmanship warranty, with up to a lifetime warranty available on selected products. Manufacturer warranties are also available and vary by the material installed, so we cover those before you sign.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
