Here's what a typical Storm Damage Roof Repair visit after a Ottawa storm event includes.
Hail damage often shows as bruised or missing granules rather than obvious cracks, and it's easy to miss from the ground.
High wind can lift or tear shingles without leaving an obvious gap, weakening the seal until the next storm finishes the job.
Debris removal and structural assessment happen together, not as two separate visits.
Proper documentation before you file can make the difference between a fast approval and a drawn-out dispute.
We scope the repair to match what actually happened during the storm, not a generic estimate.
We check gutters and downspouts alongside the roof, since storm damage rarely stops at the roofline.
Storm damage assessments move a little slower than a routine repair call, since documentation quality matters for your claim.
We check for hail bruising, lifted shingles, and debris impact across the full roof.
