FAQs
What information is included in your detailed storm-damage roofing estimate for McMinnville homes?
Our written estimate breaks down every cost line-by-line so you know exactly where your money is going. It includes: • A diagram of your roof with accurate measurements taken with drones and on-site inspection. • Photos of all storm-related damage (shingle loss, impact bruising, flashing displacement, decking exposure, gutter harm, etc.). • Material specifications—brand, color, grade, warranty length, and quantity of shingles, underlayment, ice-and-water barrier, ventilation components, flashing, and fasteners. • Labor scope—tear-off, disposal, decking repairs, installation steps, and cleanup procedures with OSHA safety provisions. • Local code upgrades required by the City of McMinnville or Yamhill/Warren County (sheathing nailing patterns, drip-edge, ridge ventilation, etc.). • Permit fees, dumpster charges, and taxes. • A target start/finish timeline and weather contingencies. • Insurance industry Xactimate pricing tables for transparency. Nothing is hidden, so you can easily compare our estimate with an insurance adjuster’s report or another contractor’s bid.
How soon after a storm can you inspect my roof and deliver the estimate?
During peak storm season we prioritize emergency calls. In most cases we can: 1. Arrive for a no-cost on-site inspection within 24 hours of your call. 2. Install temporary tarps or shrink-wrap the same day if you have active leaks. 3. Email or hand-deliver the full written estimate within 24-48 hours after the inspection, depending on roof complexity and the volume of claims in McMinnville. Fast estimating means you can submit paperwork to your insurance carrier quickly and prevent further interior damage.
Will my homeowners insurance cover the roof repairs or replacement?
Coverage depends on your policy’s terms and the adjuster’s findings, but wind, hail, and falling-tree damage are typically covered under a standard HO-3 policy. We help you maximize your benefits by: • Providing the detailed estimate insurers require. • Supplying photos, shingle sample boards, and NOAA storm-date verification. • Meeting your adjuster on-site to advocate for all legitimate repairs, including code upgrades mandated by McMinnville ordinances (which many policies pay for under "law and ordinance" provisions). You remain in control of the claim—the final decision on materials and contractor is always yours.
Do you work directly with insurance adjusters?
Yes. Our project managers are Xactimate-certified and speak the same estimating language as the insurance companies. We: • Schedule the adjustment meeting and walk the roof with the adjuster. • Compare their scope to our findings in real time to minimize discrepancies. • Submit any supplemental documentation if hidden damage is uncovered once the roof is opened. This cooperative approach speeds up approvals, reduces out-of-pocket costs, and eliminates the back-and-forth many homeowners experience.
How long will the actual storm-damage roof restoration take once approved?
A standard single-family McMinnville roof (25-35 squares, 6-12 pitch, asphalt architectural shingles) usually follows this timeline: • Material order & permit: 2-4 business days after insurance approval. • Tear-off, decking repairs, and shingle installation: 1-2 days in good weather. • Final inspection & jobsite cleanup: Same day as completion. Complex roofs with multiple valleys, chimneys, or specialty materials (metal, cedar, synthetic) may take an extra 1-3 days. We always give you a firm schedule and keep you updated on weather delays.
Do you offer any warranties or maintenance after the storm repairs are finished?
Absolutely. You receive: • A manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty (non-prorated for the first 50 years) on qualifying GAF or CertainTeed shingles when we install their complete roof system. • Our own 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation-related leaks or flashing failures. • One complimentary roof tune-up and gutter cleaning 12 months after installation. Regular preventive care helps maintain your manufacturer warranty and extends your roof’s life, especially given McMinnville’s wet winters and occasional windstorms.
