Hail & Wind Damage Restoration in the Heart of Hail Alley
Calgary sits in Alberta’s hail alley, and summer storms here can build quickly and drop hail with little warning. Hail strips granules from asphalt shingles, splits vinyl siding, cracks skylights and crushes eavestroughs. Some of that damage is obvious from the sidewalk. Bruised shingles and hairline cracks are not, and they often show up months later as an attic leak. Our hail damage guide for Calgary homeowners covers what to check first.
Wind does a different kind of damage. Chinook gusts and summer downbursts lift shingles, peel back soffit and fascia, flatten fences and snap limbs off mature trees. In mature neighbourhoods, one broken branch can come through a roof or crush a garage. On the open edges of the city and across Rocky View County, exposed homes take the full force of the wind. If a tree is on your house, read what to do when a tree falls on your house before trying to move it.
Once a storm breaks a window or lifts shingles, rain or snow usually follows. Water that reaches an attic or wall cavity becomes a second problem on top of the first, and it is easy to miss under a quick roof patch. Our crews close up the opening, then check insulation and drywall for moisture. If water is already inside, we handle water damage restoration on the same file, so you are not starting over with another company.
Storm damage we repair across Calgary and area:
Hail-bruised shingles, roof vents, skylights and flashing
Cracked vinyl siding, dented metal trim and broken window frames
Crushed or torn-away eavestroughs and downspouts
Trees and large limbs on roofs, garages, decks and fences
Wind-lifted shingles, soffit and fascia after chinook gusts
Storm Damage Repair: From Emergency Tarp to Final Inspection
When the August 5, 2024 hailstorm hit, one of the largest insured-loss events in Canadian history, we took on roughly 100 new claim assignments a day for several weeks. After a storm like that, your first job is keeping the weather out, and your second is getting the damage recorded properly before anything is replaced. We handle both, then stay on as your contractor for the repairs.
How we handle a storm damage call:
Safety check for downed lines, broken glass, hanging limbs and structural damage
Emergency roof tarping, window board-up and debris removal
Roof inspection by HAAG-certified estimators, with drone imaging where helpful
Photo-documented scope and Xactimate estimate sent to your adjuster
Roofing, siding, window and interior repairs completed by our own crews
Hail claims often come down to details: the age of the roof, the size of the impacts, and whether damage is functional or cosmetic. Our HAAG-certified estimators document each slope and elevation, and drones with AI-assisted reporting let us inspect roofs quickly and safely. Read how we handled the August 2024 hailstorm.

Frequently Asked Questions – Storm, Hail & Wind Damage in Calgary
Does home insurance cover hail damage in Calgary?
Hail and windstorm are usually covered perils on standard Alberta home policies, but the details vary. Some policies carry a separate deductible for wind or hail, and some limit cosmetic damage such as dented metal that still does its job. Read your declarations page, or confirm with your insurer, before repairs start. Our guide on what property damage insurance covers in Calgary explains the common terms you will see.
How long after hail damage can I file an insurance claim?
Each policy sets its own reporting requirements, and most expect you to report a loss promptly. Waiting makes it harder to show which storm caused the damage, especially in a city that can see more than one hailstorm in a season. Report the damage as soon as you can, keep dated photos, and ask your insurer what deadline applies to you. Our guide on how to file a property insurance claim walks through the steps.
What should I do right after a hailstorm or windstorm?
Stay well back from downed power lines and call 911 if you see one. Once it is safe, photograph the damage from the ground, including siding, windows, eavestroughs and fallen branches, and note the date and time. Cover broken windows only if you can do it safely, and stay off a wet or damaged roof. Then call your insurer, or report a claim to DKI Calgary and we will help coordinate the next steps.
Do you offer emergency roof tarping and board-up in Calgary?
Yes. Our 24/7 line is 1-888-272-9543, and on most calls we dispatch a crew across Calgary in under 90 minutes. Tarping, board-up and debris removal usually come first, because insurers generally expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. We cover Calgary, Airdrie, Chestermere, Cochrane, Crossfield, Irricana, Beiseker and Rocky View County, and the same crew can carry on with permanent repairs.
What does a HAAG-certified roof inspection mean for my claim?
HAAG certification trains inspectors to tell hail and wind damage apart from normal ageing, manufacturing defects and foot traffic. That matters because insurers generally cover sudden storm damage, not wear and tear. Our HAAG-certified estimators measure impacts, document every slope and share their findings with your adjuster, which can cut down on back-and-forth over what needs replacing and help your claim move forward with fewer delays.
How much does storm damage repair cost in Calgary?
It depends on the size and material of your roof, how many sides of the house were hit, and whether water got inside. Replacing a few shingles and one run of eavestrough is a very different job from a new roof, siding and windows after a large hailstorm. After the inspection you receive an itemized Xactimate estimate that your insurer can check line by line, and private-pay customers get the same detail before work begins.
