- Does insurance cover storm damage to roof? Around Yorkton, most storm-damage roofs go through an SGI or private insurance claim. We photograph and video the damage and meet your adjuster when it helps.

Yorkton roofing
Storm and hail damage is what we handle most, and Yorkton sees its share. Yorkton's marquee weather event is the flash-flood storm of July 1, 2010, when a severe thunderstorm flooded Broadway Street, with more flooding in June 2014 - a reminder of how fast intense summer storms overwhelm roofs, eaves and drainage here. It also sits in the Prairie hail season (May to September) and gets heavier snow than Regina at ~117 cm a year, so snow load and ice damming are real winter concerns.
Storms in Yorkton arrive with water and ice at the same time, so a roof inspected only for hail bruising misses half of what went wrong; the eaves and drainage matter here as much as the shingles. Our storm and hail damage restoration page walks through what hail and wind actually do to a roof.
Storm exposure
What storm season actually does in Yorkton
Yorkton has the clearest storm record of anywhere we work. On the evening of 1 July 2010 the city was put under a severe thunderstorm warning and then took pea sized hail, strong winds, lightning and heavy rain together. The flash flood that followed hit Broadway Street hardest, severely damaged local businesses and destroyed one of them, and the city declared a State of Emergency with the Canadian Red Cross assisting residents.
It happened again on the weekend of 29 June 2014, when flash floods across southeastern Saskatchewan brought a second State of Emergency. Storms here arrive with water and ice at the same time, and a roof that was only ever inspected for hail bruising misses half of what went wrong. Yorkton has moved once already because of where the water and the rail line were.
The York Farmers' Colonization Company founded York City in 1882 about 4 km northeast of the present city on the banks of the Little White Sand River, a post office was established in 1884 and the settlement renamed Yorkton to avoid confusion with York, Ontario, and in 1889 the whole townsite relocated alongside the newly extended rail line. Settlers came from eastern Canada, Manitoba, the United States, England, Scotland and Ireland, with Scottish settlers at Orkney to the west and a large Ukrainian-descended population arriving in the early twentieth century. More than a century of building later, the city has 6,974 occupied dwellings and no single dominant roof age.
More about storm & hail damage roof repair in Yorkton
Most storm-damage roofs around Yorkton are handled through an SGI or private insurance claim. Yorkton has declared a State of Emergency twice after storm flooding, in July 2010 and June 2014. We document the damage with photos and video and meet your adjuster on site when it helps.
More about Yorkton's history and homes
Why does it matter that a roofer actually knows Yorkton? Named for the York Farmers Colonization Company, formed by Ontario businessmen in 1882. The settlement physically relocated in 1888-89 to meet the new rail line - a town that moved to the tracks.
Yorkton counted 7,529 private dwellings at the 2021 census with 6,974 of them occupied, leaving over 500 empty. The city has been building since the colony relocated to the rail line in 1889 and was incorporated in 1928, so its housing spans more than a century with no dominant era. As a regional service centre it also carries a large stock of commercial and institutional roofs among the houses.
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 Yorkton 300 km southeast of Saskatoon, via Hwy 16 (Yellowhead) and Hwy 9.
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 Yorkton
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+
