Local storm notes: Ripley ice events and spring wind that climb the knobs east of Madison; hail here is less frequent than Clark County I-65 bands but ice damage is the claim that local adjusters know by name

Siding that fits Versailles houses
courthouse-square frame houses from the early 1900s, brick two-stories behind the square, and ranch infill on the park side of town where lots open up James Hardie fiber cement is the upgrade when a wall takes weather and you want a painted look that does not cup. Premium vinyl is the right call when the budget and the architecture are simpler. We do not wrap a historic masonry face in vinyl and call it an improvement.
Ripley County ice storms that glaze the square harder than the Ohio River valley, plus open-field wind that skips Louisville humidity and still strips ridge caps Housewrap, flashing at windows, and a real starter course are the part of the wall nobody photographs. They are also why the job either lasts or does not.

Trim, soffit, and what we will not cover up
Abandoned TV-mast penetrations and chimney flashings on square-street roofs that were never capped after cable came in; the field can look middle-aged while the chase is open If the wall behind the siding is soft, we stop and show you. Covering rot is how a siding job becomes a callback.
Color for a Versailles wall is chosen in daylight on that street, not from a phone screen in the truck.
Storm and hail damage in Versailles
Storm and hail work in Versailles, IN starts with Ripley County ice and wind, not the Clark County I-65 hail band. After a glaze event we photograph ridge caps, chimney chase flashings, and any mast holes that ice opened before anyone talks color.
We document the square-street and park-approach roofs separately because ice load and wind fetch are different a few blocks apart. Photos go to you first; we do not invent a storm date. Read the broader process on our storm damage page. Read more on our storm damage hub (/storm-damage/).
Gutter replacement and repair in Versailles
Versailles gutters take leaf drop from square-street maples and farm-edge debris on the park side. We check pitch and hangers before we talk guards — a back-pitched five-inch on a courthouse-block house overflows no matter what mesh you screw on.
When replacement is due we run seamless aluminum sized to the roof area, then a guard matched to Ripley debris. Bundle notes live on our gutter replacement hub. See gutter replacement (/gutter-replacement/) for sizing and seamless options.
