Siding after the storm: where large hail fell, what the jobs are worth, and quoting walls from satellite
For siding contractors: the days around Austin when hail of 1.5 inches or more fell, what a residing job is worth on three houses, quoting wall area instantly from a satellite footprint, and checking any address for nearby hail.
Siding work follows large hail — the stones that crack vinyl, roughly 1.5 inches and up. Here is where it fell around Austin, what the jobs are worth, and how to quote a house's walls before you drive out.
Where large hail fell
NOAA logged 15 reports of 1.5-inch hail or larger around Austin in the 24 months to 7 October 2026, on 4 days:
- 22 Apr 2025 — south of Georgetown and Weir
- 16 May 2025 — Leander
- 22 May 2025 — Uhland and Kyle
- 28 May 2025 — Cedar Park and Leander
All four were outside the central ZIPs we have loaded, so Find customers — which flags siding only for hail of 1.5 inches or more near a home — currently lists none there. Check any address against NOAA's reports with the Austin hail check, and see hail season for roofers for the storm response and the Texas rules on deductibles.

Quote the walls before you visit
With data-service="siding" on your site, the homeowner enters their address and the widget traces the house footprint from satellite, multiplies the perimeter by the storeys they choose, takes off a share for windows and doors, and prices vinyl, engineered wood and fiber cement at your rates. You get a named lead with the wall area measured. Try it as a homeowner. For full takeoffs, see siding takeoff from aerial imagery.
