FAQs
How can I tell if my McMinnville home actually needs a full roof replacement?
Common warning signs include shingles that are curling, cracked, missing, or shedding excessive granules; moss or algae growth that keeps coming back after cleaning; sagging roof planes or soft spots in the decking; frequent leaks, water stains, or mold in the attic; and a roof age of 20-25 years for asphalt shingles (15-18 if original three-tab). Because the Willamette Valley’s damp climate accelerates wear, we recommend scheduling a professional inspection every two years—or immediately after a major wind or hail event—to determine whether repairs or a complete replacement is the safer, more cost-effective option.
What does a roof replacement cost in McMinnville?
Prices vary with material, roof size/complexity, and tear-off requirements, but local asphalt-shingle replacements average $4.50–$7.50 per square foot. For a typical 2,000-sq-ft home (about 17 roofing squares), that works out to roughly $10,000–$14,000. Upgrades such as impact-rated architectural shingles, standing-seam metal, or composite shake can raise costs to $8–$15 per square foot ($15,000–$30,000+). Your quote will include tear-off, disposal, underlayment, flashing, ventilation upgrades, permits, and labor, so there are no surprise add-ons.
How long will the roof replacement process take?
Most single-family asphalt-shingle roofs in McMinnville are completed in 1–2 working days once the crew is on site. Metal, tile, or very steep/complex roofs can take 3–5 days. The overall timeline is: (1) on-site inspection and detailed written proposal (same day or next); (2) permitting and material order—about 3-7 business days; (3) installation and daily cleanup; (4) final city inspection and our workmanship walkthrough. Weather delays are always a possibility in Oregon, but we monitor the forecast closely and protect exposed areas with synthetic underlayment and tarps if rain moves in unexpectedly.
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in McMinnville, and who handles it?
Yes. The City of McMinnville Building Division requires a residential reroof permit any time more than 10% of a roof is replaced. Fees typically run $100–$250 depending on roof size and whether structural decking is being replaced. As a licensed Oregon CCB contractor, we obtain the permit, post it on site, schedule all required inspections, and include the fee in your written estimate. When the job is finished, we meet the inspector to ensure the project meets current code for nailing, underlayment, flashing, and ventilation.
Which roofing materials hold up best in McMinnville’s wet, moss-prone climate?
Architectural asphalt shingles with algae-resistant copper granules remain the most popular because they balance cost, appearance, and a 30-50-year manufacturer warranty. High-performance synthetic underlayments and proper ridge/soffit ventilation are key to preventing moisture buildup. If you want even longer service life, standing-seam metal (40-70 years) or composite slate/shake (50 years) shed rain quickly, resist moss, and reflect the sun’s summer heat. We review your budget, HOA guidelines, and aesthetic goals to recommend the best fit.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of a roof replacement?
Insurance generally pays only when the roof is damaged by a sudden, covered peril—such as windstorm, hail, lightning, or a fallen tree—not for age-related wear. If you have storm damage, call us first for a free inspection and photo documentation, then file a claim. We meet the adjuster on site, explain local code upgrades that may be required, and help you navigate the paperwork. You are responsible for your deductible; the insurer issues payment for the covered portion once the scope is approved. If damage is minor or the roof is simply worn out, replacement is considered a homeowner expense.
