FAQs
What typically causes shingles to blow off roofs in Hillsboro?
In Hillsboro, the most common culprits are seasonal windstorms that sweep in from the Coast Range, sudden gusts that accompany heavy rain, and prolonged moisture that weakens the adhesive strips on asphalt shingles. Over time, UV exposure and moss growth can also deteriorate shingles, making them more susceptible to being lifted and torn away during strong winds.
How quickly should I repair blown-off shingles, and what can happen if I wait?
You should schedule repairs as soon as you notice missing shingles—ideally within a week. Open roof decking is exposed to rain, which can seep into underlayment and attic insulation, causing leaks, mold, and wood rot. Even a small area of missing shingles can compromise the surrounding shingles, expanding the damaged zone and increasing repair costs.
Does homeowners insurance usually cover blown-off shingle repairs in Hillsboro?
Most standard policies cover wind or storm damage, including shingle blow-offs, as long as the roof has been properly maintained. After a storm, document the damage with photos and contact your insurer right away. We can provide a written estimate and meet with the adjuster to help streamline the claims process. Note that deductibles and policy exclusions (e.g., for older roofs) may apply.
Can you match replacement shingles to the color and style of my existing roof?
Yes. We stock many popular architectural and three-tab shingles used in Washington County and have access to manufacturer color catalogs. If your exact shingle line has been discontinued, we’ll source the closest visual match or recommend replacing discrete sections so the repair blends in. Our technicians will show you samples on site before any shingles are installed.
What is your repair process, and how long will it take?
1) Inspection: We perform a free on-roof assessment to tally missing shingles and check for hidden water intrusion. 2) Proposal: You receive a written quote outlining materials, labor, and warranty. 3) Scheduling: Most repairs are booked within 48–72 hours, weather permitting. 4) Repair: A typical Hillsboro shingle replacement (up to one square) takes 2–4 hours. Larger sections or sheathing repairs can extend the job to a full day. 5) Cleanup & Warranty: We magnet-sweep for nails, haul away debris, and issue a workmanship warranty covering the repaired area.
What does it usually cost to repair blown-off shingles in the Hillsboro area?
Prices vary by roof pitch, height, and extent of damage, but minor repairs (5–20 shingles) average $350–$600. Moderate repairs involving partial underlayment replacement range from $600–$1,200. If structural plywood or multiple squares are affected, costs can exceed $1,500. We offer free estimates, transparent pricing, and financing options for larger repairs.
