Storm damage repair that documents what happened, not just fixes what's visible
Wind and hail damage isn't always obvious from the ground. We assess thoroughly and document it in a form that holds up for insurance too.

Southern Ontario storm systems bring a mix of straight-line wind, hail, and heavy rain, and each of those damages a roof in a different way that needs its own kind of inspection.
Wind damage often hides at the edges and ridges first
Uplift typically starts at roof edges, ridge caps, and any previously loose fasteners, rather than tearing off shingles in the middle of a slope. We check those zones specifically after a wind event.
Hail bruising isn't always visible as obvious cracking
Hail can compress the granule layer and bruise the shingle mat without an obvious hole, which shortens the shingle's life without looking dramatic. We check for granule loss patterns and soft spots, not just visible punctures.
Heavy rain exposes damage that wind already caused
A storm's rain often reveals leaks from wind or hail damage that occurred earlier in the same system, or from a previous storm that went unnoticed until this one added enough water.
Fallen branches and debris are common secondary damage
Mature tree cover across much of the GTA means storm debris impact is a frequent secondary cause of damage alongside the wind and hail itself.
Why storm damage gets missed or underclaimed
Hail bruising and wind uplift at ridge lines are easy to miss on a quick visual check, especially from the ground. If damage isn't documented thoroughly and promptly, it becomes harder to support an insurance claim later, and the roof keeps aging faster than it should from compromised granules or loosened fasteners that were never addressed.
How we assess and document storm damage
We inspect edges, ridges, and penetrations specifically for wind uplift signs, and check the shingle field closely for hail bruising rather than just obvious holes. We photograph findings in a way that's useful for insurance documentation, and we give you a clear, written assessment of what we found so you have something concrete to work from, whether that's a repair, a claim, or both.
How we handle a storm damage call
Assessment and documentation come first, repair follows.
- 1
Prompt initial assessment
We prioritize storm calls to check for active leaks or ongoing exposure risk.
- 2
Detailed damage inspection
We check edges, ridges, flashing, and the shingle field for wind and hail-specific damage patterns.
- 3
Photo documentation
Findings are photographed and recorded in a format useful for insurance purposes.
- 4
Itemized repair quote
You receive a scoped quote for the repair, separate from the insurance process itself.

Storm & hail damage questions
How do I know if my roof has hail damage if I don't see holes?
Hail often bruises the shingle mat and compresses granules without punching an obvious hole, which shortens shingle life without looking dramatic. A close inspection checks for that pattern specifically.
Do you help with insurance claims for storm damage?
We document damage thoroughly with photos in a format that's useful to insurers, though the claim itself is a process between you and your insurance company.
How soon after a storm should I get my roof checked?
Promptly, especially if you've noticed any leaking or visible debris impact, since delayed inspection makes it harder to document damage clearly and can allow further water intrusion.
Can wind damage a roof without removing any shingles?
Yes, wind uplift can loosen fasteners and seals at edges and ridges without fully removing shingles, which weakens the roof's wind resistance going forward even though it might look intact.
Will you repair storm damage even if I'm not filing an insurance claim?
Yes, we'll quote and complete the repair directly regardless of whether a claim is involved.
