<p>Calgary's hail season generally runs from May through September, with activity typically peaking in June and July. Homes in the city's northeast and southeast quadrants tend to see storm activity most often, though any part of the region can be affected in a given year.</p>
<p>Alberta sits in one of the most hail-prone regions in Canada, and the Calgary area in particular sees a concentrated hail season through the summer months. Even hail that looks minor from the ground can bruise the mat beneath a shingle's surface granules, which weakens the shingle without necessarily creating a visible hole — meaning damage isn't always obvious until it starts leaking months or years later.</p>
<p>In practice, this usually means acting within days of a storm rather than weeks — photograph the damage from the ground, avoid climbing onto the roof yourself, and get a professional inspection scheduled before you file or finalize a claim. The documentation you gather early on tends to matter more than anything you do later in the process.</p>
<p>Getting a roof inspection each spring, before hail season starts, is one of the simplest ways to know your roof's condition going in — and to have a baseline if a storm does hit.</p>
