Hail & Storm Damage in Calgary, AB

After a hail or wind storm in Calgary, damage isn't always visible from the ground. A roofer can inspect, photograph and document the damage for your insurance claim.

Hail bruises shingles and knocks granules loose, which shortens the roof's life even if it isn't leaking yet. Wind lifts shingle tabs and breaks the seal strip. Both are common claims in Alberta.

Be cautious of door-to-door storm chasers after a big hailstorm. Use a local roofer who will still be around to honour the warranty.
