Roofers in Calgary for Hail Damage & Re-Roofs

Calgary Roofers for Hail Damage, Repairs and Replacement

We are Calgary roofers who focus on what this city's roofs actually face: hail, chinook winds and freeze-thaw. Our office is in the city, our crews work every quadrant, and most of our jobs start with a free hail inspection and end with an insurer-approved repair or replacement.

Calgary roofing is hail roofing

Calgary sits in the middle of what forecasters call Hailstorm Alley, the stretch of Alberta where warm prairie air meets cooler air off the Rockies and builds tall storm cells. Since 2020 the city has had four storms that each caused hundreds of millions to billions of dollars in insured damage. Each one tracked across a different part of town:

June 13, 2020: the northeast, especially Saddle Ridge, Taradale, Skyview Ranch and Redstone.
July 2, 2021: hail and flash flooding, mostly in the south.
August 5, 2024: the north, from Evanston and Sage Hill in the northwest to the northeast and the airport.
July 13, 2025: a track just south of the 2024 storm, per CatIQ.

So if your roof has been “fine” since you bought the house, it may simply not have been checked. Our Calgary hail storm history lists every major storm with sources.

Calgary roofs we work on

1990s to 2010s suburbs. Most homes in communities like Panorama Hills, Tuscany, Cranston and McKenzie Towne were built with standard architectural or three-tab shingles. Many are on their first roof and at or past the age where hail damage turns into leaks.

Northeast homes on their second or third hail roof. In Saddle Ridge, Taradale and Redstone, many owners have re-roofed after 2020 and again after 2024. These are the homes where a Class 4 impact-resistant roof makes the most sense.

Inner-city character homes. Bridgeland, Mount Pleasant, Inglewood and similar neighbourhoods have older homes with plank decking, multiple layers and complex roof lines. Tear-off and deck work are the big variables, and we price them in writing.

Newer communities. Homes in Evanston, Sage Hill, Mahogany and Auburn Bay are often under 15 years old. Hail on a young roof can still mean a full replacement if the damage is widespread, and your policy should cover it at replacement cost.

Permits and rules in Calgary

The City of Calgary does not require a permit to replace roofing materials with similar materials. Switching to a different roofing type, such as clay tile, needs a building permit, as does any structural work. Some newer communities have architectural guidelines that restrict roof colours, so check before choosing a shingle.

Quadrant pages

We have dedicated pages for the two quadrants hit hardest in recent storms:

Roofing in Northeast Calgary, where the 2020 and 2024 storms caused the heaviest siding and roof damage
Roofing in Northwest Calgary, which took the brunt of the 2024 storm in communities like Evanston and Sage Hill

Southwest and southeast Calgary get the same service. Book a free hail roof inspection or call [403-XXX-XXXX].

Roofing in Calgary: common questions

Which parts of Calgary get the most hail damage?

It varies by storm. The June 2020 storm hit the northeast hardest, the July 2021 storm mostly the south, and the August 2024 storm the north, both northwest and northeast. July 2025 tracked just south of the 2024 path. No quadrant is safe, which is why we work across the whole city.

Do I need a City of Calgary permit to replace my roof?

No permit is needed to replace roofing materials like for like. The City lists changing from shingles to clay roofing as work that needs a building permit, and structural changes always do. We confirm before starting.

How quickly can you inspect after a Calgary hailstorm?

In normal weeks, within two or three business days. After a major storm we prioritize active leaks and open roofs, then book inspections in the order they come in. Booking online the same day gets you in the queue fastest.

Do you work on inner-city character homes?

Yes. Older homes in neighbourhoods like Bridgeland, Mount Pleasant and Inglewood often have multiple shingle layers, plank decking and complicated roof lines. We price tear-off and deck work honestly up front.

Are you a Calgary company or an out-of-town crew?

We are based in Calgary at [STREET ADDRESS], Calgary, AB [POSTAL CODE], with our own crew and a local phone number, [403-XXX-XXXX]. We have been here since 2011 and will be here for warranty calls.

Do you handle condo and townhouse roofs?

We work with condo boards and property managers on townhouse complexes. Multi-unit hail claims usually go through the corporation's insurer, so we coordinate with the manager and the adjuster rather than individual owners.
