Storm & Snow Damage Repair questions, answered.
Is storm damage covered by my home insurance?+
In most cases yes — sudden damage from wind, hail, tree impact, fire or snow load is typically covered under a standard Canadian homeowner policy, subject to your deductible. Wear-and-tear and gradual deterioration are not covered. Always check your specific policy.
What should I do immediately after a storm damages my roof?+
Stay off the roof. Photograph any visible damage and any interior water staining, contact your insurer to open a claim, and call us for emergency tarping. The faster we stabilize, the less interior damage you will have.
How do I prove storm damage to my insurer?+
We provide the date-stamped photos, measurements and written scope of loss your adjuster needs. Pair this with the storm event (Environment Canada weather records are public) and most claims proceed smoothly.
Can you handle snow load damage in higher elevations?+
Yes. We repair snow-load damage, ice dams and resulting water infiltration in Mt. Washington, the Malahat and other higher-elevation Island communities. We also retrofit ice-and-water shield during repairs to reduce future ice-dam damage.
Will my insurance rates go up if I file a roof claim?+
It depends on your insurer and claims history. We are not insurance professionals — your broker can give you a specific answer. We can tell you that the cost of unrepaired storm damage almost always exceeds any premium increase.
