FAQs
What does it mean to have GAF-certified crews, and how does that benefit my McMinnville home?
GAF certification is a factory-trained credential awarded to less than 7% of roofing contractors nationwide. Our installers have passed rigorous technical and safety training, follow GAF’s strict installation guidelines, and must maintain a superior customer-satisfaction rating. For you, that translates to a roof installed to manufacturer specifications, eligibility for GAF’s enhanced system warranties, and peace of mind knowing the crew on your property is fully licensed, insured, and up-to-date on best practices for Northwestern Oregon’s wet, windy climate.
Which roofing materials do you recommend for McMinnville’s weather, and what options can I choose from?
We install the full GAF line, including Timberline HDZ architectural shingles, Designer Series shingles, and energy-efficient Timberline® Cool Series. Architectural shingles are the most popular choice locally because their LayerLock™ technology delivers 130-mph wind resistance—ideal for Willamette Valley storms—while their algae-fighting Copper-Infused granules keep roofs looking new despite our damp winters. If you want maximum curb appeal, Designer shingles mimic slate or wood shake, and for solar-reflective performance we offer Cool Series shingles that can lower attic temperatures by up to 15 °F.
Do you provide siding services in addition to roofing, and what siding materials are available?
Yes. Our crews are factory-trained in fiber-cement (James Hardie), vinyl, and engineered wood siding. Fiber-cement is highly popular in McMinnville because it resists moisture, fire, and pests while holding paint for up to 15 years. Premium vinyl siding offers budget-friendly durability with built-in color that never needs painting. Engineered wood (LP® SmartSide®) delivers authentic wood grain with advanced moisture protection. During your consultation we review your home’s architectural style, insulation needs, and HOA guidelines to recommend the ideal product and trim package.
How long does a typical roof replacement or siding project take?
Most single-family roof replacements in McMinnville are completed in 1–2 days, weather permitting. Complex roofs—those with multiple dormers, valleys, or skylights—may take 3 days. A full siding replacement on an average 2,000-sq-ft home usually runs 4–6 days, including tear-off, moisture-barrier installation, and trim details. We provide you with a detailed timeline before work begins and update you daily if weather causes any adjustments.
What warranties do you offer on roofing and siding installations?
Because we are GAF Master Elite® contractors, you can upgrade to the GAF Golden Pledge® Warranty, which gives you 50 years of non-prorated coverage on materials and 25 years on workmanship—backed directly by GAF. Standard installations still include GAF’s 10-year material warranty and our own 10-year labor guarantee. For siding, James Hardie offers a 30-year transferable product warranty and 15-year finish warranty, while our labor warranty covers workmanship for 5 years on all siding systems.
How should I prepare my property for roofing or siding work, and what is your cleanup process?
Please move vehicles out of the driveway, secure loose items on shelves or walls that might vibrate, and keep pets and children indoors while crews are working. We protect landscaping with tarps and plywood, use magnetic rollers to collect nails daily, and perform a final walk-through with you to ensure your yard, gutters, and patios are spotless. Any debris is hauled to a recycling center, and we leave your property exactly as we found it—just with a brand-new roof or siding.
