⛈️ STORM DAMAGE EXTERIOR REPAIR — UTAH
UTAH STORMS HIT
THE EXTERIOR HARD.
DALLAS REBUILDS IT.

Hail cracks stucco and splits Hardie. Wind drives rain behind EIFS and windows. Freeze-thaw after every storm expands what the weather started. We inspect, documents your insurance claim, and rebuilds the exterior under one contract.

🧊

HAIL DAMAGE

Impact cracking in stucco finish coats. Dented Hardie panels. Broken windows. We document every impact point for your claim.

💨

WIND DAMAGE

Wind-driven rain penetrates behind EIFS, windows, and penetrations. Stucco panels delaminate. We find every entry point.

❄️

FREEZE-THAW

Utah's cycles expand storm cracks into structural failures. Flashings split. Weep screed clogs. Dallas fixes the exterior envelope.

FLASH FLOODING

Monsoon flash floods drive water into stucco base at grade. EIFS without drainage fails fast. We rebuild with proper moisture management.

UTAH STORM THREATS

FOUR STORM TYPES.
ONE CONTRACTOR TO FIX ALL OF THEM.

🧊 HAIL

Cracks stucco finish coats. Chips Hardie ColorPlus. Breaks windows. Often invisible from the ground until the next freeze cycle opens the crack wider.

💨 HIGH WINDS

Drives rain behind EIFS, windows, and penetrations at 70+ mph. A single unsealed edge under wind pressure sends water directly into the wall cavity.

❄️ FREEZE-THAW

Water expands 9% when it freezes. A hairline hail crack becomes a structural crack after two Utah winters. Flashings split. Weep screed clogs.

⚡ FLASH FLOODING

Monsoon events drive standing water against stucco at grade. Homes with blocked weep screed accumulate moisture at the base of the wall fast.

⛈️ FILE WITHIN 6–12 MONTHS

Most Utah policies require storm damage reported within 6–12 months. Hail damage to stucco isn't always visible until the next freeze cycle. Call Dallas right after a storm — (801) 518-5030.

UPGRADE TO HARDIE AFTER STORM DAMAGE

Insurance typically approves Hardie as equivalent or better replacement for damaged stucco. Hail-resistant. Fire-resistant. 30-year warranty. Christensen Stucco is Elite Preferred — most contractors aren't.

4 STORM DAMAGE TYPES DALLAS REPAIRS

EVERY UTAH STORM THREAT.
ONE CONTRACTOR.

🧊

HAIL DAMAGE TO STUCCO AND HARDIE

Creates spalling and fracturing in stucco finish coats. Chips Hardie ColorPlus finish. We identify every impact point and documents the full scope for your adjuster. Most Utah hail claims result in full exterior replacement — partial stucco replacement almost never matches.

💨

WIND-DRIVEN RAIN BEHIND EIFS AND WINDOWS

Utah microbursts exceed 70 mph. Rain drives horizontally into any gap — windows, penetrations, roof-to-wall transitions. EIFS is especially vulnerable. We find every entry point before opening any wall.

❄️

FREEZE-THAW CRACKING AND FLASHING FAILURES

A hairline hail crack becomes structural after two Utah winters. Flashings bent by wind debris split at the bend. Dallas traces all freeze-thaw secondary damage back to the original storm event — critical for insurance documentation.

MONSOON FLASH FLOODING — STUCCO BASE DAMAGE

July–August monsoons drive standing water against stucco at grade. Blocked weep screed — common in older Utah construction — accumulates water at the wall base fast. We rebuild with correct weep screed and moisture management.

DALLAS'S STORM DAMAGE PROCESS

FREE INSPECTION TO
FINISHED EXTERIOR. ONE CONTRACT.

01

FREE STORM INSPECTION — DALLAS COMES OUT

The Christensen crew arrives within 24–48 hours of your call. He inspects every elevation — not just the obvious hail hits on the south and west faces. He checks windows, penetrations, flashings, weep screed, and the roof-to-wall transitions. He identifies wind-driven water entry points using 50 years of reading stucco and EIFS systems.

02

COMPLETE INSURANCE DOCUMENTATION

We identify every impact point, every wind entry point, every flashing failure — and photographs the full extent for your insurance claim. He writes a complete scope of loss with line-item pricing — the document your insurance adjuster needs to process your claim. He has worked with State Farm, Allstate, USAA, Farmers, and Nationwide on storm claims throughout Utah. He knows what adjusters look for and how to document damage so it is not denied or underpaid.

03

WORK DIRECTLY WITH YOUR ADJUSTER

We are available to meet your adjuster on-site. He walks the property with the adjuster, points out every damage item he documented, and answers technical questions about stucco systems, EIFS, and Hardie installation that most adjusters don't fully understand. This on-site collaboration almost always results in a more complete claim payout.

04

REBUILD THE EXTERIOR — STUCCO, HARDIE, OR BOTH

Once the claim is approved, We rebuild the damaged exterior. New stucco matched exactly to the existing system — same texture, same color, proper base coat cure time. Or James Hardie Elite Preferred re-skin — upgrade the whole elevation at the same time and never worry about hail damage to that surface again. Most insurance companies approve Hardie as a like-kind-or-better replacement for damaged stucco or siding. We handle windows at the same time if they were damaged — properly flashed into the new moisture barrier.

05

ONE CONTRACT — ONE WARRANTY — DONE

Inspection, documentation, adjuster coordination, demolition of damaged materials, structural repair if needed, new moisture barrier, new stucco or Hardie, window replacement if needed — all under one contract with Dallas. No separate restoration company for the inside and a different contractor for the outside. One call. One crew. One workmanship warranty on everything he touches.

"After a hailstorm, Utah homeowners get door-knockers from out-of-state storm chasers who file the claim and disappear. I'm here before the storm season and after. My name is on every job. I'm not going anywhere."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

STORM DAMAGE IN UTAH.
REAL ANSWERS.

Does insurance cover hail damage to stucco in Utah?
Yes — hail is a covered peril under standard Utah homeowners policies. We inspect and documents all hail impact to stucco, Hardie siding, and windows with photographs and a complete written scope of loss for your adjuster. He has worked with State Farm, Allstate, USAA, Farmers, and Nationwide on Utah hail claims. Most homeowners pay only their deductible.
How soon do I need to file a storm damage insurance claim in Utah?
Most Utah homeowners policies require storm damage to be reported within 6 to 12 months of the event. However the sooner the better — hail impact cracks in stucco worsen with each rain and freeze cycle. Call Dallas immediately after a storm for a free inspection and complete documentation: (801) 518-5030.
Can I upgrade from stucco to Hardie siding after a hailstorm?
Yes — and this is one of the best outcomes of a hail claim. Insurance companies generally approve James Hardie fiber cement as a like-kind-or-better replacement for hail-damaged stucco or vinyl siding. Hardie is hail-resistant, fire-resistant, and carries a 30-year product warranty. As a James Hardie Elite Preferred installer, We deliver the full warranty — not available from most contractors. He handles the insurance documentation to get Hardie approved on your claim.
What is a storm chaser and why should I avoid them?
Storm chasers are out-of-state contractors who follow major hailstorms into Utah, knock on doors, file large insurance claims, do fast work with subcontractors, and leave. They're typically not licensed in Utah, do not understand stucco or EIFS systems, and are not around to honor their warranty. Christensen Stucco has been in Utah for 50 years. His license number is #14405471-5501. He warranties every job he does.
What does hail damage look like on stucco?
Hail damage to stucco can be subtle. Look for: circular impact marks in the finish coat, spalling or chipping of the elastomeric finish, hairline cracks radiating from impact points, dislodged or fractured aggregate in the finish coat texture, and dark discoloration at impact sites where the finish coat has been breached. Many impact points are not visible from the ground. We inspect every elevation up close and uses FLIR infrared imaging to identify any moisture that has entered through impact cracks.
