FAQs
Why is regular professional roof inspection important in Hillsboro’s climate?
Hillsboro experiences a mix of heavy winter rain, occasional windstorms, and warm, sunny summers—all of which stress roofing materials. Regular inspections catch small leaks, wind-loosened shingles, and early moss or algae growth before they escalate into costly structural damage or interior water intrusion. A professional eye also documents weather-related wear that might be covered under manufacturer or insurance warranties, ultimately extending your roof’s lifespan and protecting your home investment.
What does your comprehensive roof inspection cover?
Our certified inspectors follow a 50-point checklist that includes: exterior assessment of shingles, tiles, or metal panels; flashing and sealant integrity at chimneys, skylights, and vents; gutter and downspout condition; attic ventilation and insulation; signs of moisture, mold, or rot on decking and rafters; evaluation of fasteners, nails, and penetrations; inspection of soffits, fascia, and drip edges; and a full photographic report documenting every finding. We also use moisture meters and infrared imaging when needed to detect hidden leaks.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection, and when is the best time?
For most Hillsboro homes, we recommend a professional inspection at least once every 12–18 months. Additional checks are wise after severe wind or hail events and before your roof’s manufacturer warranty period ends. Spring and early fall are ideal: spring inspections reveal damage from winter storms, while fall checks ensure your roof is ready for the rainy season and can uncover summer UV degradation.
Will a roof inspection disrupt my daily routine or damage my roof?
Inspections are non-invasive and typically take 60–90 minutes for an average single-family home. Our technicians use padded footwear and ladder stabilizers to avoid scuffing or denting roofing materials. You do not need to be home the entire time, although we appreciate a brief walkthrough before and after so we can access the attic and review findings with you. Your roofing system remains fully intact—no cutting or dismantling is required.
What happens after the inspection if issues are found?
You’ll receive a detailed digital report the same day, color-coded by urgency. Minor maintenance items—such as resealing flashing or clearing clogged gutters—are often addressed on the spot with your approval. For larger repairs, we provide a transparent estimate, photos, and recommended timelines. We can coordinate with your insurance adjuster if storm damage is involved, and we will never pressure you into unnecessary work.
Do you provide documentation I can use for insurance claims or real-estate transactions?
Absolutely. Every inspection includes a PDF report with hi-resolution photos, annotated diagrams, and written assessments that meet industry and insurer standards. For real-estate transactions, we supply a concise summary letter suitable for escrow, along with any recommended repair bids. If you file an insurance claim, we can furnish supplemental forms, meet the adjuster onsite, and help ensure that legitimate storm or impact damage is properly covered.
