Storm & Hail Damage Repair in Winnipeg
Inspection and documentation after wind or hail, plus emergency tarping when water is getting in.
Prairie storms do two kinds of roof damage, and Winnipeg Roof Pros looks for both: the obvious kind you can see from the street, and the kind that only shows up as a leak a season later.
What We Look For
Wind damage is usually straightforward. Shingles are gone, lifted, or creased where they folded back and were laid down again. A creased shingle has broken its seal and its mat, and it will fail whether or not it looks flat now.
Hail is harder. It bruises the shingle mat and knocks granules loose, which shortens the life of the roof without producing an immediate leak. The most reliable evidence is on the soft metal — vent caps, flashing, and eavestroughs dent visibly when shingles show almost nothing.
We also check the things people forget after a storm: whether the eavestroughs still hang and drain properly, whether vents and their boots are intact, and whether flashing has lifted at any wall or chimney.
Documentation You Can Actually Use
An insurance conversation goes better with evidence. We photograph what we find, note where it is on the roof, and write an itemized scope of what the repair involves.
We will also tell you when what we are looking at is age rather than storm damage. A roof at the end of its life often reveals that after a storm, but that is not the same thing as the storm having caused it, and claiming otherwise helps nobody.
If water is coming in right now, that is emergency roof repair and the tarp comes first. Once the roof is dry, most storm work becomes either a roof repair or a full replacement, depending on what the inspection finds.

Storm & Hail Damage Repair Questions
Will my insurance cover a new roof after a storm?
That is between you and your insurer, and it depends on your policy and what the adjuster finds. What we can do is inspect the roof, document the damage clearly, and give you a written itemized scope so the conversation is based on evidence rather than argument.
How can I tell if hail damaged my roof?
From the ground, often you cannot. The signs are granule loss collecting in the eavestrough, bruised or dented spots in the shingle mat, and dents on soft metal like vents and flashing. Damage to those metal surfaces is usually the clearest indicator, since they dent visibly when shingles do not.
What do I do if my roof is leaking right now?
Call us and move anything valuable out from under the leak. Putting a container under a drip and, if you can safely, making a small relief hole in a bulging ceiling to let trapped water out will limit the interior damage. We will get a tarp on the roof to stop more water coming in.
Should I wait for the adjuster before doing anything?
Do not let water keep entering the building while you wait — emergency tarping is normally expected and reasonable. Document everything with photos before and after. Hold off on permanent repairs until the claim is settled.
