Hail damage doesn’t look like ‘damage.’ It looks like small dark circles where granules have been knocked off, 5–35 mm across. Most homeowners can’t see it from the ground. The reliable signs are indirect — and a free drone inspection answers it definitively.

5 indirect signs your Calgary roof has hail damage
Walk the perimeter and check each of these. Any one means the roof took hits.
- 01Dented aluminum — downspouts, AC fins, soffit, gutters. Aluminum dents at lower force than roofs need to bruise.
- 02Granules in downspouts — coarse black sand at the discharge point
- 03Shiny spots visible on the roof — where granules have been knocked off
- 04Damaged outdoor furniture / window screens — anything else that was hit, the roof was too
- 05Your neighbour’s roof was just replaced — your house took the same storm
