How much are you willing to pay for out of your pocket? There must be at least as much as your deductible. Say there is $501 worth of damge. You collect $1 after you come up with your $500 deductible. Be carefull when placeing HO claims. They can work against you.

Will homeowners insurance cover damage from masonite siding?
Damaged SidingHomeowners insurance policies provide coverage against PERILS such as wind, water, fire, lightning, etc. If your home was damaged by water/moisture due to worn or deteriorated siding and you have an all-risk policy, then the resultant interior water damage may be covered once you have repaired the defective siding product that caused the damage. The defective or worn out siding itself would not be covered. There is no coverage to replace the siding itself if it is just worn out or defective. This would be a home maintenance issue.If the siding has been damaged by an event (tree fell on it, it was struck by flying debris) then repair of the siding may also be covered.AnswerAdditionally, if you have Masonite or asbestos roofing or siding, it is well known as a defective, obsolete product. What is the value? If it has no value how can you claim a loss on the product. I have been asked several times to value this product. Since it cannot be valued, how can you have a loss? The old adage is if it has no value it cannot be damaged. you cannot discern a dollars amount of damage to a penny!

Does your homeowners insurance policy pay for matching?
The typical claim that involves matching is roofing, siding, flooring, or cabinets. One could have damage to one part of the roof but there are several other roof slopes with no damage. One could have damage to siding on the front of the home but no damage to the back, left, or right side of the home. Most insurance policies you will read state that the insurance company will pay to repair the damaged area. What is the damaged area when talking about a house with damage to siding? Is it just the front side or the front and the left side or all the sides. A lot of insurance companies will say it is just the side that is damaged. Some other insurance companies will say only 1/4 of the front is damage and not even pay to repair the whole front side. The policy usually says repair the damaged area. Each state regulates it's own insurance. In some states there are specific rules which explain that the insurance company have to pay to match and in some states there are no rules. In some states you can pay a little extra money to get matching coverage if you get a claim where matching can play a large part. In some states there may be a court case about matching which helps establish the way matching issues will be handled. If there are no rules or court cases it is up to your insurance company to make the decision based on what they feel is right and fair. If you disagree you could decide to take to further but sometimes the dollar amounts do not warrant hiring an attorney. The cost of the attorney fee is so much that your could have just used that money and paid for the additional repairs. There is no guarantee that your will win a court case. When you talk about matching you have to know if the building materials are still readily available and will match good. The insurance company is usually not required to make a perfect match just a good match. If you have building materials that are sun faded or no longer made you will of course have a hard time to match.
