Questions
What are signs of hail damage to my roof?
Look for missing shingle granules, splits in wood shakes, hail pock marks, dents in metal flashings, and siding holes. These indicators suggest potential hail damage requiring professional assessment.
How long do I have to file an insurance claim for storm damage?
Most insurers allow 12-24 months after damage occurs. However, we recommend immediate inspection to prevent hidden damage from causing leaks or structural issues over time.
Can I save on my insurance deductible for roof repairs?
In some cases, contractors may waive deductibles for large claims. This depends on your policy terms and the contractor's agreement with your insurance provider.
What roof replacement options do you offer?
We provide asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and rubber roofing systems. Each option offers different durability levels and aesthetic choices to suit various budgets and architectural styles.
Do you handle insurance claims for exterior damage?
Yes, our HAAG-certified inspectors assist with hail and wind damage claims, working directly with adjusters to ensure proper documentation and coverage for all necessary repairs.

Hail damaged my home in July. Fortress got it done, with upgrade to class 4 shingles for slightly more than others charging for basic shingles. Crews were awesome, kept the site clean, used a magnetic broom to get any nails that may have fallen in the grass. Very happy with their service and work. I used to be in construction but my legs arent what they used to be and they did a great job. I'd recommend them to anyone looking to get their roofing or exterior work done

We had great experience with Fortress from my initial phone call to project completion. I called Nicole in their office and within a few hours Amorel (owner) arrived to review the garage metal roof water leak. The repair scope was thoroughly explained and quoted cost very reasonable. I felt very comfortable in communicating with Amorel as the repair was completed in regards to the overall roof condition of the garage as well as Amorel also reviewing our home roof. It is a good feeling to know that Fortress cared about ensuring that we had a real positive experience. Highly recommended!

One of the best experiences Ive had through all of the issues following the June hail storm in Northeast Calgary. Fortress are a preferred vendor with TD Insurance. They were thorough, communicated well through the whole process, and I got exactly what I needed. Well done and highly recommended.

October 2019 We had Fortress complete a replacement of our old tar and gravel roof with a new asphalt roof. While the old roof seemed to survive numerous hailstorms and weather while others were beat into the ground, it was time to upgrade to new technology. Fortress coordinated our attic insulation upgrades and did a magical job getting our roof done. Despite 15cm of snow mid job, we were sealed up weather protected, and work commenced when mother nature gave the Fortress team a break. This is our second major project with Fortress in the past 2 years (first being replacing the siding and

Fortress just finished our roof and siding and were fantastic to work with.
Nicole in the office was very helpful and went above and beyond to make sure our job was being handled well. We didnt know they did windows until we enquired and even had three windows installed. The workers were professional and worked the weekend to get the job done. Great service, great workers and super service. I would recommend them to anyone and look forward to working with them again. Thank you Nicole and please thank all your crew.
