When does home owners insurance cover siding replacement?

Answer 1

Homeowners will pay to replace your siding when your siding is damaged by a sudden event. Sudden events include: fire, theft, vandalism, hail, wind, rain, snow, explosion, civil riot, and more. Siding is attached to the home so it is covered under Dwelling coverage. If your siding is damaged because of wear and tear over time, your insurance policy will not pay to repair or replace your siding. The loss must be sudden, unexpected and unintentional.
