What are the Signs Your Roof Needs Attention ?
The four signs your roof needs attention are cracked or missing shingles, ceiling water stains, granules collecting in gutters, and visible sagging. In Calgary, hailstorms and heavy snow bring these on faster than in most cities, so a walk-around after every big storm and an inspection each spring catch them while they are still a cheap fix.

Does insurance cover roof repairs in Calgary?
Most Calgary home insurance policies cover sudden roof damage from hail and windstorms, but not gradual wear and tear. Review your policy carefully and consider additional coverage if you live in an area prone to severe weather. When your roof sustains damage, document it thoroughly with photos and notes, and contact your insurance company promptly to start the claims process.
Assess the damage
Your insurance adjuster will assess the extent of the damage and determine coverage based on your policy.
Deductables & What Applies
Be aware of any deductibles or exclusions that may apply. It's crucial to take time and go through the fine print.
Work with reputable companies
Working with roofers who can provide detailed estimates and work directly with your insurance company keeps the claim moving and the paperwork straight.
About Us
Why repair a roof early?
A $400 to $600 shingle repair caught in its first season typically prevents the $8,000-plus deck-and-replacement job that follows one winter of untreated leaking. Water that gets under the shingles freezes and thaws through Calgary's chinook cycles, lifts more shingles, rots the deck and ends as a ceiling stain. Regular inspections catch these problems while they are still a repair, not a replacement. And when storm damage or a fallen tree strikes, our 24/7 emergency service gets a weather-tight tarp on before more water gets in, then completes the residential roof repair the same week.
