Quick answers
- What does hail damage roof look like? Bruises in the mat under the granules, often invisible from the ground. On Bruno buildings that grew in stages we check the additions and valleys first.
- Does insurance cover storm damage to roof? Usually. Most storm-damage roofs around Bruno are handled through an SGI or private insurance claim, and we meet your adjuster on site when it helps.
- Is hail damage on roof bad? It can be: bruised shingles keep shedding granules and turn into leaks a year or two later. If the marks are only cosmetic, we tell you that.

Bruno roofing
Storm and hail damage is what we handle most, and Bruno sees its share. Bruno sits in the east-central Saskatchewan hail belt with the same freeze-thaw and prairie-snow exposure, so the May-to-September storm season and heavy winter load drive roof wear here as across the region.
On Bruno buildings that grew in stages we check the additions and valleys first, then look for hail bruising under the granules, which you often cannot see from the ground. What hail and wind do to shingles is explained in full on our storm and hail damage restoration page.
Storm exposure
What storm season actually does in Bruno
Bruno sits about 90 km east of Saskatoon and 35 km west of Humboldt, with 274 occupied dwellings on under a square kilometre of gently rolling farm country. Its landmark buildings are also its most vulnerable ones: the Ursuline convent of 1919 and the academy of 1922 were extended in the 1950s, in 1962 and again in 1977, and every one of those junctions between old roof and new is a place where wind-driven water looks for a way in. After a storm we check the additions and the valleys first, because that is where the failures show up on buildings that grew in stages rather than all at once.
The convent chapel is the clearest illustration of what we are dealing with here. Eight of its stained glass windows have since been moved out to Holy Spirit Church in Saskatoon, Vanier Collegiate in Moose Jaw, Villa Angela and the Humboldt Museum.
When a building's own fittings get distributed like that, it usually means the structure has been through several changes of purpose, and the Ursuline site has: a convent from 1919, an academy from 1922 that closed in 1982, and the St. Therese Institute of Faith and Mission since July 2007. Buildings with that history need the roof read as a set of junctions rather than a single surface.
More about storm & hail damage roof repair in Bruno
Most storm-damage roofs around Bruno are handled through an SGI or private insurance claim. On the Ursuline buildings and other roofs assembled in stages, the junctions between old roof and new are where we start. We document the damage with photos and video and meet your adjuster on site when it helps.
More about Bruno's history and homes
Why does it matter that a roofer actually knows Bruno? Named for Father Bruno Doerfler, who led German Catholic settlers from Minnesota in 1902 as part of the St. Peter's Colony. The town's Bruno Clayworks (1905-1960s) made over a million distinctive interlocking 'T' bricks.
Bruno counted 299 private dwellings at the 2021 census with 274 of them occupied, meaning 25 stood empty. Much of what is here was built from the interlocking brick the Bruno Clayworks turned out between 1905 and the 1960s, and the Ursuline complex alone carries a 1919 original plus additions from the 1950s, 1962 and 1977. On buildings assembled in stages the roof is a set of junctions, and that is where we start.
Knowing the age of the housing and the way storms track across this part of Saskatchewan is what tells us how to spec your roof. We reach Bruno 90 km east of Saskatoon, 35 km west of Humboldt, via Hwy 5.
What a HAAG Certified storm inspection looks for
| What we check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Hail bruising | Hail bruises the mat under the granules. You often cannot see it from the ground, but those bruises shed granules, expose the asphalt to UV, and turn into leaks a year or two later. |
| Wind damage | Wind lifts and creases shingles and tears off ridge caps. We get up there, mark every hit, and photograph it. |
| Cosmetic marks or real damage | We are HAAG Certified, so we inspect the way an adjuster does and can tell the difference between cosmetic marks and bruising that will cut your roof’s life short. |
| The deck underneath | Once a claim is approved we strip the roof to the deck and check the plywood for rot before anything new goes on. |
| Claim documentation | We document the damage with photos and video, meet your adjuster on site when it helps, and lay out the scope clearly. Most storm-damage roofs in Saskatchewan go through an SGI or private insurance claim. |

What our customers say about the crew that runs to Bruno
Rated 5.0 on Google · W Contracting Roofing · read them on Google
Thanks to Nathan and his team. We had a leaky roof and what we thought was going to be a total nightmare and financial disaster turned out to be a relaxing, seamless and affordable process. From the initial phone call to the end of the job Nathan kept communication going and was patient and knowledgeable when I was trying to choose the right shingles. I can’t thank Nathan and the team enough. We were so impressed we didn’t bother obtaining any quotes from other companies. It’s W Contracting all the way!!!
We were fortunate to find W contracting when we needed a roof replacement. An earlier company we contacted kept saying they'd start in a few days... and then never showed up. Nathan and his professional crew were methodical, and willing to do the little extras that a shingling job may require. They were prompt, quick, thorough and left the site very tidy. Price was good and the street appeal of our house went up, thanks to Nathan's team. A very solid 10 out of 10. We heartily recommend them with absolutely no reservations.
We had Nathan from W Contracting out for a hail estimate, and the service was nothing short of remarkable. In the end, we had to combine our roof claim with a previous garage issue, but the estimate Nathan provided-along with his knowledge and advice-was so thorough that even my insurance adjuster took note. I highly recommend W Contracting for all your roofing needs!
We had new shingles put on our home and had a very positive experience with Nathan and his crew. We would definitely recommend them. They have a great selection of shingles to choose from and a great warranty. Thank you to Nathan and the crew for treating our home well and making the roof look great.
Nathan and the crew were wonderful to deal with. From repairing the roof, installing new shingles, clean-up and competitive pricing, they were professional and efficient in every step. Would trust them to do a roof anytime and will recommend them to everyone we know.
Nathan and his team of roofers are definitely a fantastic group to work with. Nathan came out at 3 am to retarp my roof after the tarp was tore off in a storm. They did a fantastic job with all including clean up. I would fully recommend them. 5 plus stars
Nathan was fast and efficient fixing my rain gutter after it blew down during the night! Very friendly would definitely recommend.
Would recommend Nathan and his team to anyone looking for quality roof job done. They were very accommodating with my time frame, budget and nature of the job. Left the site clean and tidy. A+
