Professional Hail Damage Roof Repair You Can Trust
Calgary sits in the heart of Canada's Hailstorm Alley. The 2024 hailstorm caused $2.8 billion in insured damage — the most costly hailstorm in Canadian history — and the 2020 event before it caused $1.4 billion. After every major Alberta hailstorm, thousands of Calgary homeowners need a documented inspection before they file a claim. Our certified inspectors climb, photograph every impact with timestamped documentation, and produce an Xactimate-format hail damage report your insurance adjuster will accept on the first pass.
Common Causes in Calgary Homes
We see these patterns repeatedly across Calgary and area. Knowing the cause helps us respond faster and recommend the right solution.
Major Calgary Hailstorms
Calgary averages a significant hailstorm every 2-3 years and a catastrophic event every 6-10. The 2024 storm hit NE + SE quadrants hardest; the 2020 storm devastated NE Calgary. Hailstones over 25mm almost always require full shingle replacement, not just repair.
Cumulative Damage From Smaller Storms
Multiple smaller hail events (15-25mm) over a season cause cumulative granule loss that shortens shingle life by 30-50%. This damage is invisible from the ground but obvious from a roof inspection — and almost always missed by homeowners until it shows up as a leak years later.
Soft-Metal Damage as Verification
Adjusters look at soft metals first — fascia, vents, gutters, AC fins — to verify a hailstorm hit your property. We document every dent so the claim file is bulletproof and prevent the adjuster from denying based on 'wear and tear' alone.
Skylight & Eavestrough Damage
Adjusters often miss skylight and eavestrough damage in the initial walkthrough. We catch it during inspection and add it to your claim — typically $1,500-$4,000 of additional covered work.
Underlayment & Deck Damage
Severe hail penetrates shingles and damages the underlayment beneath. Without replacement, the deck rots from trapped moisture within 2-3 winters. This is often the difference between a $5,000 repair and a $15,000 replacement.

Hail Damage Repair FAQs
Common questions about hail damage roof repair in Calgary, AB.
How soon after a hailstorm should I get my Calgary roof inspected?
Within 7-14 days is ideal. Alberta insurance policies require you to report damage in a 'reasonable' time and most carriers interpret that as 30-60 days. The longer you wait, the harder it gets to prove the damage came from a specific covered event. We prioritize post-storm inspection bookings and typically slot you within 48 hours of a major hail event.
Will an inspection alone trigger an insurance claim?
No. An inspection is just documentation — you decide whether to file a claim based on the findings. If the damage doesn't warrant a claim (most hail under 20mm doesn't), we tell you that straight. We're not paid by your insurance company; we're paid by you (when you have an actual repair). There's no incentive for us to push a claim that won't be paid out.
What does the inspection report include?
A timestamped photo of every hail impact on your roof, a roof diagram marking damage locations, granule-loss measurements at multiple points, soft-metal verification photos (fascia, vents, gutters), pitch and material identification, estimated remaining shingle life, and an Xactimate-format scope of work. Insurance adjusters get the same report format they're trained to read.
Do you charge for the inspection if I don't have a claim?
No — the inspection is free whether you file a claim or not. We bet on the fact that Calgary roofs take enough abuse that you'll need our work eventually, and even if today's hail wasn't a claim, you've now got a documented baseline for when the next storm hits.
Can you spot hail damage from the ground?
Some. Visible signs include shingle granules collecting in your downspouts, dented gutters or fascia, dented vent caps and AC condenser fins, and dimpled siding. But the most accurate damage assessment requires an on-roof inspection — many roofs that look fine from the ground have substantial damage visible only at close range.
What if my insurance denies the claim?
We help you file a supplemental claim or appeal. Our reports are detailed enough that most initial denials get reversed at the supplemental stage. If the carrier maintains the denial, we work with you on a direct-pay repair scope that fits your budget. Either way, you have the documentation you need for the next inspection or sale.
Do you only work on hail-damaged roofs?
No — hail is our specialty but we handle full roof replacements, leak repairs, eavestrough work, flat roofs, metal roofing, skylight repair, and routine roof inspections across the Calgary metro. Hail just happens to be the highest-stakes service because it's where insurance dollars are on the line.
