Storm damage assessed for both visible and latent impact
Wind and hail damage isn't always obvious from the ground. We check for the damage patterns that show up months later as leaks, and document everything for your insurer.

Why storm damage often looks minor until it isn't
Wind and hail events across the GTA can leave a roof looking largely intact from the ground while causing damage that only becomes apparent later as a leak or accelerated shingle failure. Hail impact can bruise shingles without immediately dislodging granules, and wind can lift shingle tabs enough to break the seal strip without visibly displacing them. Both conditions compromise the roof's water resistance well before they're visually obvious.
Granule loss and bruising
We check for hail impact marks and granule displacement across the full roof field, not just the sections visible from the ground.
Seal strip integrity
Wind can break a shingle's adhesive seal without tearing it loose, leaving it vulnerable to future uplift. We check seal condition directly.
Flashing and vent boot displacement
High wind can shift flashing or crack vent boots without an obvious visual sign from ground level.
Documentation for claims
Findings are photographed by location and compiled into a report suitable for submission with an insurance claim.
Storm damage that isn't documented promptly is harder to claim later
Insurers generally expect storm damage to be assessed and documented close to the event date. If damage isn't identified and recorded until a leak develops months later, it becomes harder to establish that the damage was storm-related rather than gradual wear, which can complicate a claim.
We assess and document promptly after a storm event
Following a wind or hail event, we carry out a full roof assessment checking for granule loss, seal strip integrity, and flashing displacement, and photograph findings by location. This documentation is provided to you for submission alongside an insurance claim, whether or not repair work proceeds immediately.
How we handle a storm damage assessment
The same process applies whether the storm was recent or damage was only recently discovered.

Full roof assessment
We inspect the entire roof field, not just visibly affected areas, for granule loss, bruising, and seal strip condition.
- 2
Flashing and vent check
Flashing, vent boots, and other penetrations are checked for wind displacement or cracking.
- 3
Photo documentation
Findings are photographed and logged by roof location for insurance submission.
- 4

Storm & hail damage questions
How soon after a storm should I get my roof checked?
As soon as reasonably possible. Prompt documentation supports any insurance claim and catches damage before it develops into a leak.
Can hail damage a roof without leaving obvious holes?
Yes, hail can bruise shingles and dislodge granules without immediately creating a visible hole, which weakens the shingle's long-term water resistance.
Will you help with my insurance claim?
We provide photographed, documented findings suitable for claims submission, though the claim itself is handled between you and your insurer.
How do I know if wind damaged my roof if shingles aren't missing?
Wind can break a shingle's seal strip without tearing it loose, leaving it vulnerable to future uplift. We check seal integrity directly rather than relying on a visual check alone.
Do you assess storm damage outside Milton?
Yes, we assess and repair storm damage across the Greater Toronto Area.
