What real storm damage looks like versus normal wear
Southern Ontario gets its share of summer wind storms and the occasional hail event, and not every mark on a roof after one is storm-related. We document what's actually storm damage — impact marks, creased or torn shingles, displaced flashing — separately from pre-existing wear, because that distinction matters for your claim.
Hail impact marks have a specific look
Genuine hail hits typically show as random, scattered bruising on the shingle mat, often knocking granules loose in a circular pattern — different from the even wear you'd see across an aging roof.
Wind damage often shows at the edges first
High winds tend to lift and crease shingles starting at ridges, hips, and eave edges before affecting the main field — we check those areas specifically after a wind event.
Displaced flashing is a common but overlooked storm effect
Wind can shift or loosen flashing without visibly damaging shingles, leaving a leak path that isn't obvious until the next rain.
Not every mark after a storm is storm damage
We won't tell you every blemish is storm-related just to inflate a claim — an honest assessment protects your credibility with the adjuster, not just ours.
A rushed 'storm chaser' quote can hurt your claim, not help it
After a significant storm, it's common to get door-knocker quotes pushing an immediate full replacement before anyone's properly documented what's actually damaged. Overstating damage — or missing real damage while focusing on cosmetic marks — can complicate your claim with the adjuster later.
We document damage accurately, whichever way it cuts
Our storm damage assessments distinguish genuine storm-related damage from pre-existing wear, with photos and a written scope you can hand to your insurance adjuster. If the damage is limited to a repairable section, we'll say so instead of pushing a bigger job.

Storm & hail damage questions
How soon after a storm should I get an inspection?
As soon as reasonably possible — it makes documenting genuine storm damage easier and supports your claim timeline if you file one.
Will you say I have storm damage even if I don't, to get the job?
No. We document what's actually there. Overstating damage can complicate your claim and isn't something we're willing to do for a bigger invoice.
Can you deal directly with my insurance adjuster?
We can provide our written, photo-documented assessment for your adjuster and answer questions about our findings, though the claim itself is between you and your insurer.
What does hail damage actually look like on shingles?
Typically scattered, random bruising with granule loss in a roughly circular pattern — we'll show you examples on your own roof during the inspection so you can see the difference from normal wear.
Do you offer emergency tarping after storm damage?
Where an active leak or exposed decking needs immediate protection, we can discuss temporary measures during the initial call — email us with urgency noted.
