Quick answers
- Can hail damage roof? Yes, often where you cannot see it, because the mat bruises under the granules. On Rosthern's steep church and institutional roofs, wind damage tends to show at the ridge and the exposed slope.
- Does insurance cover storm damage to roof? Most Rosthern storm-damage roofs go through an SGI or private insurance claim. Halls and churches nobody lives under are where damage sits unreported longest.
- Is hail damage on roof bad? Bruising shortens a roof's life, but not every mark counts. Our HAAG Certified inspection tells cosmetic marks from bruising, and we will not push a replacement your Rosthern roof does not need.

Rosthern roofing
Storm and hail damage is what we handle most, and Rosthern sees its share. Rosthern sits on the Saskatoon-to-Prince Albert corridor that storm cells track along each summer, in the same central-Saskatchewan hail belt. Expect hail and wind risk through the May-to-September season and heavy snow load and freeze-thaw in winter.
Rosthern's steep church and institutional roofs catch wind differently than houses do, so we inspect them separately, at the ridge and the exposed slope as well as for hail bruising under the granules. Our storm and hail damage restoration page walks through what hail and wind actually do to a roof. Our guide to checking your roof after a windstorm in Rosthern covers the August 2025 downburst in the RM of Rosthern and what to look for from the ground.
Storm exposure
What storm season actually does in Rosthern
Rosthern sits at the juncture of Highway 11 and Highway 312 with farmland running out in every direction, so there is no terrain to slow a storm cell. What makes the town different from its neighbours is the building stock. It has over ten churches for 1,602 people, plus the Mennonite Heritage Museum building of about 1909 and the nearby Seager Wheeler Farm, a National Historic Site of Canada.
Steep institutional roofs catch wind differently than houses do, and the damage after a blow tends to show at the ridge and the exposed slope rather than uniformly across the roof. We inspect those separately rather than applying a residential checklist to them. Rosthern had grown to 413 people by 1901 and has functioned as a service centre for the surrounding farming population for more than a century since.
It sits between the converging branches of the North and South Saskatchewan Rivers, close to Batoche, Fish Creek, Duck Lake and Fort Carlton, and it maintains Valley Regional Park, founded in 1974 with an 18-hole course, plus the Youth Farm Bible Camp. Service-centre towns accumulate halls, churches and camp buildings, and after a storm those are the roofs where damage sits unreported longest because nobody lives under them.
More about storm & hail damage roof repair in Rosthern
Most storm-damage roofs around Rosthern are handled through an SGI or private insurance claim. Halls, churches and camp buildings are where damage sits unreported longest, because nobody lives under them. We document the damage with photos and video and meet your adjuster on site when it helps.
More about Rosthern's history and homes
Why does it matter that a roofer actually knows Rosthern? Mennonite settlers led by Gerhard Ens arrived around 1890 with the railway; the name likely comes from Rostherne, England, reportedly brought by a homesick railway worker. Rosthern counted 694 private dwellings at the 2021 census with 642 of them occupied, so 52 stood empty.
The town has been incorporated since 1903 and the Mennonite settlement behind it goes back to about 1890, and alongside the housing it carries more than ten churches, two rinks, a curling rink and three school gyms. Wide-span buildings and century-old houses are different jobs, and we price them that way.
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 Rosthern 60 km north of Saskatoon, midway to Prince Albert, via Hwy 11 and Hwy 312.
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 Rosthern
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+
