FAQs
Why should I schedule a professional roof inspection with Hidden Leaks Roofing instead of examining the roof myself?
Our certified inspectors use moisture-sensing scanners, infrared cameras, and safe roof-access equipment to detect hidden leaks, trapped water, and early-stage shingle failures that are almost impossible to spot from the ground. A DIY inspection can miss small problems that later turn into major, costly repairs. We also document every finding with photos and a written report you can use for warranty or insurance claims.
How often should McMinnville homeowners have their roofs inspected?
We recommend a full inspection at least once every 12–18 months, plus an additional check after any severe wind, hail, or ice storm. The Willamette Valley’s wet winters and moss-promoting climate make annual inspections especially important; catching moisture intrusion early can add 5–10 years to the life of an asphalt-shingle roof.
What does a Hidden Leaks Roofing inspection include?
1. Exterior survey: shingle condition, flashing, chimneys, vents, skylights, gutters, and roof decking alignment. 2. Leak detection: infrared thermography pinpoints hidden moisture under shingles and around penetrations. 3. Attic check: we evaluate insulation, ventilation, and look for water stains or mold inside the roof cavity. 4. Written report: high-resolution photos, repair priorities ranked by urgency, and an itemized cost estimate—delivered within 24 hours. 5. Consultation: our inspector reviews the report with you on-site or via video call and answers any questions about repair or maintenance options.
How much does a standard roof inspection cost in McMinnville?
A single-family home (up to 3,000 sq ft) inspection is $189, which is credited toward any repair work you authorize within 60 days. Larger or steep-slope roofs may incur a modest surcharge for additional safety equipment. We also offer a $99 real-estate transaction inspection (visual only, no infrared) for buyers and sellers.
Will my homeowners insurance cover any issues you find?
Coverage depends on the cause of damage and your policy terms. Hidden Leaks Roofing provides detailed documentation—date-stamped photos, moisture readings, and repair estimates—that most insurers require. We can meet adjusters on-site to discuss findings at no extra charge and have a 92 % approval rate for storm-related claims in Yamhill County.
What are some early warning signs that I should call for an inspection right away?
• Dark streaks or moss patches on shingles • Damp attic insulation or musty odors indoors • Ceiling stains after wind-driven rain • Granules collecting in gutters or downspouts • Curling, cracked, or missing shingles visible from the ground • Higher heating or cooling bills indicating possible ventilation issues If you notice any of these, contact Hidden Leaks Roofing for a same-week inspection to prevent further damage.
