Hail-Damaged Siding Replaced with James Hardie
When a Minnesota storm rolls through, hail can leave a lasting impact on a home’s exterior. Many homeowners are left dealing with dented aluminum or cracked vinyl siding that no longer protects their property. But with the right approach, storm damage can become an opportunity. That’s exactly what these homeowners did—choosing to replace their damaged siding with James Hardie fiber cement, a long-term solution that not only restores the home but improves it for decades to come.
Our team at Craftsman’s Choice worked with the homeowners to guide them through the insurance process and help them make the most of their claim. Instead of simply repairing with the same material, we recommended upgrading to James Hardie siding, which resists impact, won’t warp or crack, and provides unmatched protection against Minnesota’s extreme freeze-thaw cycles.
The result was a home with a completely refreshed exterior that looks better than ever and requires far less maintenance. With ColorPlus® Technology, the new siding is also fade-resistant, keeping its curb appeal intact year after year. By pairing the siding with coordinating trim and details, the home now has a polished, modern look along with the confidence that it’s built to withstand the next storm.
At Craftsman’s Choice, we’ve helped many Minnesota homeowners turn an unfortunate hail event into a smart investment. Insurance restoration projects are a chance not just to fix what’s broken but to upgrade to a product that adds value, beauty, and long-term durability.
If your home has suffered hail damage, replacing your siding with James Hardie through Craftsman’s Choice is one of the best ways to protect your investment while transforming your home’s exterior.
