FAQs
What exactly is a full tear-off roof replacement?
A full tear-off means we remove every layer of your existing roofing system down to the bare decking. We strip away shingles, underlayment, flashing, nails, and any damaged sheathing. After inspecting and repairing the deck, we install new underlayment, flashings, ventilation components, and your selected roofing material. This process gives you a roof that performs like new, carries full manufacturer warranties, and meets current Hillsboro building codes.
Why choose a tear-off instead of simply installing new shingles over the old ones?
Although a re-roof (overlay) costs less upfront, it leaves hidden problems—rotted decking, trapped moisture, and inadequate ventilation—untouched. A full tear-off allows us to correct structural issues, upgrade ice & water protection, and install modern ventilation that extends shingle life. It also keeps you in compliance with Hillsboro’s one-roofing-layer limit, avoids extra weight on the structure, and qualifies you for longer manufacturer warranties.
How long does a full tear-off roofing project take in Hillsboro?
Most single-family homes are completed in two to four days, weather permitting. Day 1 is demolition, deck repair, and dry-in. Day 2-3 cover shingle installation, flashing, and ventilation upgrades. Larger or more complex roofs (multiple dormers, steep pitches) may require an extra day. We schedule projects around the Pacific Northwest’s rainy season and use protective tarping to keep your interior dry if showers pop up.
What roofing materials and options do you offer?
We install architectural asphalt shingles, premium designer shingles, metal roofing, and high-performance synthetic underlayments. All products are rated for the moss-prone, wet climate of Washington County. You can choose colors that complement local HOA guidelines, and we provide sample boards so you can see the look in Hillsboro’s natural light. Every material line we carry is ENERGY STAR® rated and comes with algae-resistant technology.
How much does a full tear-off roof cost and what factors affect pricing?
In Hillsboro, asphalt tear-offs typically range from $5 to $8 per square foot, while metal starts around $10 per square foot. Variables include roof size and pitch, number of layers removed, condition of the decking, choice of shingle or metal profile, and any code-required upgrades (such as adding intake vents). We provide a detailed, written estimate that itemizes labor, materials, permits, and disposal fees so there are no surprises.
How do you protect my property and handle cleanup?
Before starting, we lay down tarps and plywood to shield landscaping, siding, windows, and HVAC units. A magnetic roller collects nails daily, and we bring an on-site dumpster so debris never touches your lawn. At completion, we perform a multi-point inspection, sweep drives and walkways, and haul away all waste to a licensed recycling facility. Our "Roofing Done Right" pledge means your property looks as good—or better—than when we arrived.
