How to Check Your Roof for Wind Damage
After a Calgary wind storm, watch for these telltale signs that your roof needs professional inspection.
Missing shingles
Bare patches of underlayment after high winds — the #1 sign of wind damage on Calgary roofs.
Lifted or curled shingles
Shingles that have broken their seal won't lay flat and will leak in the next rain or snow.
Lifted or torn flashing
Flashing around chimneys, vents and walls that's bent or pulled away allows water in fast.
Granule loss
Excess granules in eavestroughs or downspouts after a storm — a sign shingle life is shortened.
Dented or damaged vents
Bent caps, torn boots and dented box vents from flying debris.
Damaged ridge caps
Ridge cap shingles often blow off first — leaving the most vulnerable line of your roof exposed.

Calgary Wind & Storm Damage FAQ
Does insurance cover wind damaged roofs in Alberta?
Most Alberta home insurance policies cover sudden wind storm damage to your roof, subject to your deductible. Coverage depends on your policy — your insurance adjuster will verify the claim. We help by documenting damage and supplying detailed photos and reports.
How do I check my roof for wind damage in Calgary?
From the ground, look for missing shingles, shingles in your yard or eavestroughs, lifted tabs along ridge lines, bent flashing, and granule build-up in downspouts. Don't climb the roof yourself — book a free inspection and we'll do a safe, detailed assessment.
What does it cost to repair a wind damaged roof in Calgary?
Costs vary widely. A few replacement shingles can be under $500, while full replacements after major wind damage typically run several thousand dollars. If the damage is insurance-covered, your out-of-pocket is usually just your deductible.
