Every year in Calgary, severe weather like hail, heavy winds, and snowstorms cause serious damage to residential roofs and siding. While many homeowners see a few missing shingles or dents in their gutters and think, “It’s not that bad,” delaying action can lead to far more expensive problems—and worse, a denied insurance claim.
At RegalGuard Roofing, we’re here to protect not just your home, but your finances too. In this blog, we’ll explain why acting within 15 to 30 days after a storm is critical, what your insurance company expects from you, and how we can help you file properly and on time.
⚠️ Did You Know? Delaying Your Claim Can Lead to DenialMost homeowners insurance policies in Alberta include a clause requiring “prompt notice of loss.” That usually means 15 to 30 days after a damaging event. If you wait longer:
Your insurer may argue that the damage worsened due to neglect
You may lose your right to file for that storm event
Future leaks or mold may be excluded from coverage
This doesn’t mean you’ll lose your entire home insurance policy, but you could lose protection for your roof or siding in future claims if you didn’t act responsibly.
✅ Why You Should Get a Free Inspection ImmediatelyYou don’t need to be a roofing expert to know when your roof was hit by hail or wind. That’s what we’re here for. Our certified inspectors will:
Examine your roof, siding, and gutters for hidden damage
Take professional photos and document everything
Help you file a claim with your insurer (if needed)
Meet with your adjuster to make sure no damage is overlooked
