What happens after you call

Clear report
You get the photos and a plain answer: repair, replace or no claim. If it is not worth claiming, we say so.
Adjuster meeting
With your OK, we meet your adjuster on the roof and walk them through the damage we documented.
Repair or re-roof
Our own crew does the work, usually in one or two days, and we send the insurer the completion photos.
Roofing services built around hail season
Hail Damage Roof Inspection
A hail roof inspection in Calgary tells you, with photos, whether a storm damaged your shingles badly enough to claim.
Hail Damage Roof Repair
Not every hailstorm means a new roof.
Roof Replacement
Roof replacement in Calgary is usually a one- to two-day job for our crew: full tear-off to the deck, a check of every sheet of sheathing, ice and water shield where Calgary roofs leak, new vents and flashing, and the shingle you choose, including Class 4 impact-resistant lines.
Insurance Claim Roofing
A hail damage insurance claim on a Calgary roof goes best when the damage is documented before the adjuster arrives.
Class 4 Impact-Resistant Roofing
Impact-resistant roofing in Calgary means shingles rated Class 4 under the UL 2218 test: they survive a 2-inch steel ball dropped twice on the same spot without cracking.
Emergency Roof Tarping
Emergency roof tarping in Calgary stops water getting in after hail, wind or a falling branch opens the roof.
Roof Leak Repair
Roof leak repair in Calgary starts with finding the real entry point, which is often several feet from the stain on your ceiling.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingle roofing covers most Calgary homes because it is affordable, quick to install and easy to repair after hail.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing in Calgary is a long-term answer to hail, wind and snow: steel panels can last decades, many profiles carry a UL 2218 Class 4 rating, and snow sheds off them.
Calgary roofs take more hail than almost anywhere in Canada
The August 5, 2024 storm alone produced more than 130,000 insurance claims, and CatIQ's final estimate put insured losses at about $3.35 billion. The Insurance Bureau of Canada says Alberta has had at least one major hailstorm every year for two decades.
That is why we only do roofs, and why we put so much effort into documentation. A generalist can install shingles. Getting an insurer to pay for the right roof takes clear photos, accurate measurements and someone on the roof when the adjuster arrives.

A local roofer or a storm chaser? Know the difference.
After every big storm, out-of-province crews knock on doors across Calgary. Some do fine work. Many are gone before the first warranty call. Here is what to check before you sign anything.
| Check | Calgary Hail Roof Repair | Typical storm chaser |
|---|---|---|
| Office you can visit | [STREET ADDRESS], Calgary | Truck, hotel or temporary lot |
| Takes a deposit? | Only under a Service Alberta prepaid contracting licence ([SERVICE ALBERTA PREPAID CONTRACTING LICENCE #]) | Often asks for cash up front |
| WCB coverage | WCB Alberta account [WCB ALBERTA ACCOUNT #] | Often cannot show a clearance letter |
| Your deductible | You pay it, as your policy requires | Offers to "cover" or waive it |
| Warranty calls next summer | Same phone number, same crew | Number disconnected |
Replacing anyway? Price a Class 4 roof.
Class 4 impact-resistant shingles pass the UL 2218 test, where a 2-inch steel ball is dropped on the same spot twice without cracking the shingle. Some Alberta insurers offer a premium discount for them, and a tougher roof means fewer claims on your record.
Your insurer pays to replace like with like, so the upgrade is usually your cost. We quote both side by side so you can decide with real numbers.
Questions to ask your broker before re-roofing
- Do you discount premiums for UL 2218 Class 4 roofs, and by how much?
- Is my roof insured at replacement cost or actual cash value?
- Do I have a separate wind or hail deductible?
- What paperwork do you need to apply the discount?

Guides for Calgary homeowners
- Class 4 Impact-Resistant Shingles: Are They Worth It in Calgary?
For most Calgary homeowners replacing a roof anyway, Class 4 shingles are worth pricing. They resist the hail sizes that cause most claims here, may earn an insurance discount, and reduce the odds of another full replacement after the next storm. The upgrade is usually your cost, not the insurer's, so the answer depends on how long you'll stay and what your insurer offers.
- How to File a Hail Damage Insurance Claim in Alberta
Filing a hail damage insurance claim in Alberta comes down to reporting quickly, documenting thoroughly and reading the adjuster's estimate carefully. This guide covers each step, the deadlines that apply, and what to do if you disagree with the result.
- How to Spot Storm Chaser Roofers in Calgary
Storm chasers are contractors who follow hailstorms from city to city, sell roofs door to door, and are often gone before warranty problems appear. In Alberta, the quickest checks are a Service Alberta prepaid contracting licence before you pay any deposit, a WCB clearance letter, and a local office address you can visit.
- Repair or Replace Your Roof After Hail? How to Decide
Repair a hail-damaged roof when the damage is limited to a few shingles, one or two slopes, or the metal components. Replace it when most slopes have multiple bruised shingles, the shingles are brittle, or a matching repair is impossible. On insurance claims, the adjuster's assessment of hits per slope usually decides.
- Roof Replacement Cost in Calgary: 2026 Price Guide
Most asphalt shingle roof replacements in Calgary cost between about $8,000 and $26,000 in 2026. Where your house lands in that range depends on roof area, pitch, how many layers come off, the condition of the deck, and the shingle you choose. Metal roofs cost more. After hail, insurance often covers most of it.
- Signs of Hail Damage on Your Roof (and How to Check Safely)
The clearest signs of hail damage on a roof are dents in soft metal (vents, flashing, gutters), dark spots where granules were knocked off, and shingles that feel soft when pressed. Most of these can't be seen from the ground, but the clues around your house usually tell you whether a roof inspection is worth booking.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if hail damaged my roof?
Most hail damage cannot be seen from the ground. Look for dents on metal roof vents, gutters, downspouts and window screens, and for shingle granules collecting at the bottom of downspouts. If those show damage, the shingles took the same hits. A roofer can confirm it by marking and photographing bruised or cracked shingles in test squares on each slope.
Does home insurance cover hail damage to a roof in Alberta?
Hail is a covered peril on most Alberta home policies, but how much is paid depends on your deductible, any separate wind or hail deductible, and whether the roof is insured at replacement cost or depreciated value. Your policy wording decides it, so check it or ask your broker. We document the damage so the adjuster has what they need.
How long after a hailstorm can I make a claim?
Report damage to your insurer as soon as you find it. Policies require prompt notice, and Alberta sets a two-year limitation period for legal action on property claims. Waiting makes it harder to tie damage to one storm, especially in a city that gets hit most summers.
Is the hail inspection really free?
Yes. We inspect the roof, photograph what we find and tell you whether the damage looks large enough to claim. There is no charge and no contract to sign at the inspection.
Will you deal with my insurance adjuster?
Yes, with your permission. We share photos and measurements, meet the adjuster on the roof, and point out damage they may miss. We are a roofing contractor, not a licensed public adjuster, so we cannot negotiate your settlement or promise a claim will be approved.
Should I upgrade to Class 4 impact-resistant shingles?
In Calgary it is worth pricing. Class 4 shingles pass the UL 2218 test with a 2-inch steel ball, and some Alberta insurers give a premium discount for them. The upgrade is usually paid by you, not the insurer, so ask your broker what discount applies before deciding.
