FAQs
How can I tell if my worn shingles need a full roof replacement instead of simple repairs?
Look for widespread issues rather than isolated damage. Signs include shingles that are curling or cupping across large areas, extensive granule loss that exposes the asphalt mat, multiple leaks in different parts of the attic, and visible daylight through roof boards. If your shingle roof is 20–25 years old—about the life expectancy for most architectural asphalt shingles in Hillsboro’s rainy climate—a full replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated patching.
Which roofing materials perform best in Hillsboro’s wet Pacific Northwest climate?
Architectural asphalt shingles remain popular because they balance cost, durability (30-year ratings), and moss-resistant technology. For longer life spans, consider composite or synthetic shingles rated for 50+ years, metal standing-seam panels, or premium cedar shakes pressure-treated against rot. All these materials handle frequent rain and occasional windstorms well when installed with proper underlayment and ventilation to combat moisture buildup.
How long does a typical roof replacement take from start to finish?
Most single-family homes in Hillsboro can be completed in 1–3 days once work begins. Day 1 usually covers tear-off and decking inspection; Day 2 focuses on underlayment, flashing, and most shingle installation; Day 3, if needed, finishes details and cleanup. Project length can extend if decking repairs are extensive, custom metal flashing is required, or weather delays occur, but we schedule replacements during the driest forecast window to minimize interruptions.
What is the average cost to replace a worn shingle roof in Hillsboro?
Prices vary by roof size, pitch, material, and underlying deck condition. For a 2,000-square-foot home, expect $9,000–$14,000 for architectural asphalt shingles, $14,000–$20,000 for premium composites, and $18,000–$30,000 for standing-seam metal. These estimates include tear-off, disposal, new underlayment, flashings, ventilation upgrades, labor, and a workmanship warranty. We provide a free, no-obligation inspection and written quote so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
Will my homeowner’s insurance help pay for roof replacement due to worn shingles?
Insurance generally covers sudden, accidental damage—such as wind or hail impacts—not normal wear and tear. If shingles are simply aged and deteriorated, replacement is considered a maintenance expense. However, if a recent storm caused shingle loss or leaks, an adjuster may approve coverage for part or all of the replacement. We can document storm damage, meet with your adjuster, and clarify policy details to maximize any eligible claim.
What steps do you take to protect my property and clean up after the roof replacement?
We begin by laying tarps over landscaping, decking, and driveways to catch debris. Magnetic rollers and hand-held sweepers pick up nails around the perimeter daily. Gutters are cleared of shingle granules when the job is complete. We also perform a final walk-through with you to inspect workmanship, ensure attic ventilation is clear, and verify that your yard and flowerbeds look the same—or better—than when we arrived.
