Siding Installation & Repair in Hillsboro, KS
Hillsboro is a Marion County town of roughly 2,700 people on K-15, settled in the 1870s by Mennonite families arriving from southern Russia and Poland who put down some of the most durable building traditions in central Kansas. Tabor College has anchored the town since 1908, the Mennonite Settlement Museum keeps the 1876 Peter Paul Loewen house-barn standing, and every third Saturday in September the Hillsboro Arts and Crafts Fair pulls roughly 300 vendors and 40,000 visitors into a town of 2,700. It is a well-kept place, and people here notice the condition of a house.
They also live in one of the more punishing hail corridors in the state, and that is the conversation Siding Pros KS has most often in Hillsboro.
On the evening of April 23, 2026, a severe storm moved across Marion County and dropped hail that the National Weather Service office in Wichita logged at sizes from one inch up to four inches, with a four-inch report southwest of Marion and baseball-size stones falling in Hillsboro itself. Baseball hail is roughly 2.75 inches of ice arriving at highway speed. It does not simply mark a wall. It breaks it.
What happened afterward is the part worth paying attention to. Nearly every homeowner in town had somebody look at the roof. Far fewer had anybody look at the siding. That gap is how good claims get left on the table, because hail rarely falls straight down here — it comes in on a wind that drives it into whichever elevation is facing the storm. On a lot of Hillsboro houses, that wall took a harder hit than the shingles did.
Hail damage on siding is also genuinely easy to miss from the driveway, which is why we inspect it close up. On vinyl it shows as starburst cracks radiating from the impact point, split bottom locks, and punch-throughs that only appear when the light rakes across the wall at a low angle. On aluminum it is dents you cannot unsee once you spot the first one. On wood it is gouging that opens the grain and lets water sit. In every case the panel has stopped being a weather barrier, and the water that gets behind it does its damage quietly for a year or two before anything shows up inside.
Our free inspection is a proper one. Siding Pros KS walks every elevation, photographs each impact, writes a detailed line-item estimate, and meets your adjuster at the house so the full scope of the wall damage is on the record rather than a note about the roof. Whether it turns into a claim or not, you will know exactly what condition your siding is in.
When a Hillsboro wall does need replacing, we treat it as a chance to put something tougher up. James Hardie fiber cement handles impact far better than the builder-grade vinyl it usually replaces, and a quality insulated vinyl is a real upgrade at a lower price point. Every install gets full house wrap, flashing at every window and door, and expansion gaps set to manufacturer spec, because Marion County swings from single digits to triple digits and heat will find any shortcut in the fastening.
We handle siding installation, replacement, and repair with written pricing and a workmanship guarantee, and we are licensed, insured, and Kansas-owned. That last part matters in a town that watched a lot of out-of-state trucks appear in the weeks after April 23 and then disappear. If you are trying to work out where your walls stand, start with the signs you need new siding or call us and we will come look.

Do you actually come out to Hillsboro, or only to McPherson and Newton?
We come to Hillsboro. Siding Pros KS runs McPherson, Newton, and Hesston most weeks, and Hillsboro sits inside that triangle on K-15, so this is a normal stop for us rather than a special trip. We work the older blocks around downtown and Tabor College as well as the newer builds on the edges of town. Any trip charge appears on your written estimate before you agree to anything.
Hail hit Hillsboro hard in April 2026. Should I have my siding checked even if the roof looks fine?
Yes, and this is the single most common mistake we see in Marion County. On April 23, 2026 the National Weather Service logged hail from one inch up to four inches across this area, with baseball-size stones falling in Marion and Hillsboro. Almost everyone had the roof looked at. Very few had the walls looked at. Hail travels at an angle on Kansas wind, so the elevation facing the storm often takes more punishment than the roof does. Siding Pros KS inspects walls specifically, and the inspection is free.
What does hail damage to siding actually look like?
On vinyl it is usually cracks and punch-throughs rather than dents — starburst splits radiating from a point of impact, chipped or broken bottom locks, and holes you can only see once the light is raking across the wall at an angle. On aluminum you get obvious dents. On wood you get gouges that open the grain to water. Hail damage on siding also hides behind the seams, which is why a walk-around from the driveway is not an inspection. We check every elevation up close and photograph what we find.
How long do I have to file a hail claim in Marion County?
Do not wait to find out. Most homeowner policies limit how long after the date of loss you can file, and the specific window is written into your policy rather than set by the state, so it is worth reading yours or asking your agent. What matters practically is that a claim filed on a documented date of loss is far easier to settle than one filed two years later, when your insurer can argue the damage came from a different storm. If April 23 hit your house, get it documented now even if you are not sure you want to file. Our storm damage repair page walks through the process.
What siding holds up best against Marion County hail?
Nothing on the market is hailproof against four-inch stones, and any contractor who tells you otherwise is selling. That said, the differences are real. James Hardie fiber cement resists impact far better than standard vinyl and carries strong hail performance ratings, which is why we recommend it on exposed elevations here. A thicker insulated vinyl is significantly more impact-resistant than the builder-grade panel it usually replaces, at a lower cost. Our siding materials comparison puts the options side by side.
