Hail roofing, explained

What hail does to a roof, and what to do about it.

Asphalt

What hail does to an asphalt roof

Hail bruises asphalt shingles. A hard enough hit fractures the mat under the surface, tears or punctures it, or knocks off the granules that shield the asphalt from the sun. A bruised shingle can look fine from the ground and still let water in later, which is why hail damage is easy to miss. After a big storm the real question is often not how to patch the roof, but what to replace it with.

Class 4

What Class 4 means, and what it doesn't

The impact test for roofing works like this: a steel ball is dropped on the sample, twice in the same spot, and the sample passes if it shows no crack or rupture on the top or the underside. Class 4, the highest class, uses a 51 mm (2 in) ball dropped from about 6.1 m (20 ft). The Interlock Slate, Shake, Cedar Shingle and Mediterranean Tile aluminum panels we install are listed to UL 2218 Class 4 by Intertek under Delta Building Products. The test looks for cracking, not denting: very large hail can still dent metal. No roof is hail-proof.

After a storm

After a hailstorm: what to do, in order

Stay off the roof. Photograph what you can see from the ground: dented vents, eavestroughs and siding, broken windows, granules collecting at the downspouts. Call your insurer or broker as soon as you can, keep the receipts for any emergency repair, and let the insurer's adjuster inspect and write up the damage before anything is torn off. Then get written quotes. You choose your contractor, not whoever knocks on your door first.

Insurance

The insurance conversation

Standard home insurance policies in Canada cover hail damage, and your insurer and its adjuster decide what a claim pays. We are a roofing contractor, not an adjuster, and we don't negotiate claims. We give you a written quote and the product and warranty documents you or your insurer ask for. If you choose an Interlock roof instead of a like-for-like replacement, ask your insurer how they handle the difference, and whether an impact-rated roof changes your premium.

Warranty

What the warranty says about hail

Read this before you buy. The manufacturer's Guardian Lifetime Limited Material Warranty covers the aluminum material and its finish, and it excludes hail larger than 38 mm (1.5 in), severe weather and Acts of God, and normal wear including minor dents. On any roof, ours included, hail damage is a matter for your home insurance.

Aluminum

Why interlocking aluminum panels

There are no granules to knock loose and no mat to bruise. Each panel locks to its neighbours on all four sides with the fasteners concealed, and aluminum cannot rust, so a scuff does not turn into rust. The panels weigh roughly 2 to 3.5 kg per square metre, and wind resistance is warranted to 193 km/h (120 mph) installed to manufacturer specification. Made in Canada, and installed by our own Alberta company since 1999.

Warranty terms in full: Guardian Lifetime Limited Material Warranty

Built for Alberta

Hail, chinooks and long winters. A roof that cannot rust.

Hail comes first in Alberta, but it is not the only test: chinooks, snow and deep cold in winter, and wildfire where the forest meets the house. Here is what an Interlock® aluminum roof does about each, and where it has limits.

Hail

Impact-rated, and honest about it

Two Calgary hailstorms show what is at stake: the storm of June 13, 2020 caused nearly $1.2 billion in insured damage, and the storm of August 5, 2024 caused $3.25 billion, the second-costliest insured disaster in Canadian history. Interlock's Slate, Shake, Cedar Shingle and Mediterranean Tile aluminum panels carry a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating, listed by Intertek under Delta Building Products. No roof is hail-proof, and the material warranty excludes hail larger than 38 mm (1.5 in).

Hail season

June to September, peaking in July and August

Alberta's hail suppression project flies from June 1 to September 15 every year, and hail here is most frequent in July and August, just east of the Rockies. The Calgary to Red Deer corridor is one of the most hail-prone parts of Canada, and storms reach Edmonton and the rest of the province too. If your roof came through last summer bruised, plan the replacement before the next season starts.

Chinooks

Melt, refreeze, repeat

A chinook can lift a winter day from well below freezing to above it within hours, then the cold comes back. Each cycle loosens asphalt granules and curls shingles; cedar takes on water that freezes in the grain. Aluminum absorbs nothing and cannot rust. Interlock panels lock to each other on all four sides with no exposed fastener, and wind resistance is warranted to 193 km/h (120 mph) installed to manufacturer specification.

Snow

Light on the framing, built for the load

Interlock panels weigh roughly 2 to 3.5 kg per square metre depending on profile, a fraction of concrete tile. That leaves the structure's capacity for what an Alberta winter puts on it: snow. Smooth aluminum lets snow slide, so we plan snow guards over entries, walkways and the driveway at the quote.

Ice dams

We look at the attic, not just the roof

Ice dams form when heat escaping into the attic melts snow that refreezes at the cold eaves. No roof covering stops that on its own, and ice damming is excluded from the material warranty. At the estimate we look at insulation and ventilation with you and tell you what we see.

Wildfire

Class A Fire Rated Available, as a complete assembly

FireSmart Alberta recommends Class A roofing and advises avoiding wood shakes and shingles. Under ASTM E108 (CAN/ULC-S107 in Canada) a fire classification belongs to an assembly, not a panel: on our roofs Class A is achieved with two layers of GAF VersaShield® over 12 mm (15/32-inch) plywood. Aluminum itself does not ignite, but no roof is fireproof. If your home backs onto forest, ask us to quote the Class A assembly.

What matters where you live

Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, Okotoks and Strathmore: hail in summer and chinooks all winter. Calgary is where we have installed more roofs than anywhere else.

Hail season

Impact-rated Slate, Shake, Cedar Shingle and Tile panels (UL 2218 Class 4, listed by Intertek). No roof is hail-proof; ask your insurer how they treat an impact-rated roof.

Chinooks

Snow melts and refreezes many times a winter. Nothing in an aluminum panel to crack, curl or soak up water.

Older homes and infills

The look of slate or cedar on an older bungalow or a new infill, at roughly 2 to 3.5 kg per square metre.

Condo and townhouse boards

One profile and colour across a complex, with the product documents and warranty terms a condominium board asks for.

Straight answers

Hail roofing questions, answered straight.

All of our answers ↗

Is there such a thing as a hail-proof roof?

No. Any roof can be damaged by hail that is big enough, and anyone who sells a hail-proof roof is overselling it. What you can buy is an impact-rated roof. The Interlock Slate, Shake, Cedar Shingle and Mediterranean Tile aluminum panels we install are listed to UL 2218 Class 4, the highest impact class, by Intertek under Delta Building Products. Class 4 means a sample took two hits in the same spot from a 51 mm (2 in) steel ball without cracking or rupturing. It does not mean the panels cannot dent: very large hail can dent metal.

What does a Class 4 impact rating mean?

Class 4 is the highest class of UL 2218, the impact standard under which Intertek lists the Interlock Slate, Shake, Cedar Shingle and Mediterranean Tile aluminum panels we install, under Delta Building Products. In the test, steel balls are dropped on the roofing from set heights, twice in the same spot, and the roofing passes a class if it shows no crack or rupture on the top or the underside. Class 1 uses a 32 mm (1.25 in) ball; Class 4 uses a 51 mm (2 in) ball dropped from about 6.1 m (20 ft). The test measures cracking, not cosmetic denting.

What should I do after a hailstorm damages my roof?

Stay off the roof. When it is safe, photograph the damage you can see from the ground, including dented vents, eavestroughs, siding and vehicles, and list anything damaged. Call your insurer or broker as soon as you can and keep the receipts for any emergency repair, such as a tarp over a leak. The Insurance Bureau of Canada gives the same advice. Let your insurer's adjuster inspect and write up the damage before the old roof comes off, then get written quotes from contractors you have checked.

Will my home insurance pay for a new roof after hail?

That is your insurer's decision, not ours. According to the Insurance Bureau of Canada, standard home insurance policies cover damage caused by hail, and your insurer's adjuster decides what your claim covers. We are a roofing contractor, not an insurance adjuster: we don't negotiate claims or tell you what a claim is worth. In Alberta, independent adjusters are licensed by the Alberta Insurance Council. We give you a written quote and the documents your insurer asks for. If you choose an Interlock roof instead of a like-for-like replacement, ask your insurer how they treat the difference.

Will an impact-rated roof lower my insurance premium?

Ask your insurer. Some Alberta insurers take impact resistance into account and some do not, and we cannot promise a discount or a figure. The Insurance Bureau of Canada encourages Albertans to consider Class 4 impact-resistant roofing when they replace a roof. If your insurer wants proof, we give you the Intertek listing information and the warranty document.

Does the warranty cover hail damage?

No, and you should know that before you buy. The manufacturer's Guardian Lifetime Limited Material Warranty covers the aluminum material and its finish, and it excludes hail larger than 38 mm (1.5 in), severe weather and Acts of God, and normal wear including minor dents. Hail damage to any roof is a matter for your home insurance. The warranty document is on this site to read in full.

When is hail season in Alberta?

Summer. Alberta's hail suppression project flies from June 1 to September 15 each year, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada, and Alberta hail is most frequent in July and August, just east of the Rockies, according to the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction. The Calgary storm of June 13, 2020 caused nearly $1.2 billion in insured damage, and the Calgary storm of August 5, 2024 caused $3.25 billion, the second-costliest insured disaster in Canadian history (Insurance Bureau of Canada). The quietest time to plan a replacement is between seasons.

How do I check a roofer after a hailstorm?

Ask for a local address, a written contract and references, and check them. Service Alberta's guidance: a contract signed at your home can be cancelled within 10 days of receiving your copy, and a contractor who takes money before the work is done and sells away from its place of business must hold a prepaid contracting business licence.
