How to Spot Hail Damage on Your Calgary Roof
Calgary sits in one of Canada's most hail-prone regions, and even a single severe storm can cause significant roof damage — sometimes without obvious visible signs from the ground.
Common Signs of Hail Damage
- Dark spots or bruising on shingles where granules have been knocked loose
- Dents or dings on metal flashing, vents, or gutters
- Cracked or split shingles
- Granules collecting in your downspouts or gutters after a storm
Why You Shouldn't Wait to Get an Inspection
Hail damage isn't always immediately visible, but left unaddressed, it can lead to leaks and more costly repairs down the line. Many home insurance policies also have time-sensitive windows for filing hail damage claims, making a prompt inspection important for both your roof's health and your insurance coverage.
Free Roof Inspections After Storms
Following any significant hailstorm, Four Brothers Exteriors offers free roof inspections for Calgary homeowners to assess potential damage and help navigate the insurance claims process if needed.
