For Bend homes and commercial buildings exposed during the summer 2025 hail event

If your Bend property sat through hail in summer 2025, the first useful step is not guessing from the driveway. It is organizing what can be safely observed: soft-metal dents, granule loss, missing or lifted shingles, ceiling stains, skylights, vents, gutters, and any leak history since the storm window.

This page is built for homeowners, landlords, HOA contacts, and building owners who want a simple inspection-call path before scheduling roof work.

What to have ready

  • Property address/city and safest access notes.
  • Approximate roof age and material if known.
  • Whether the concern is residential, rental, HOA, or commercial.
  • Photos from the ground or interior only if safe.
  • Any leak, stain, gutter/vent dent, or missing-shingle observation.

Homeowners

Use the form if you saw hail, later noticed granules near downspouts, or now have ceiling stains/leaks that may need professional review.

Building owners

Flat, metal, and mixed roof systems can have different signs. Submit access notes, roof material, and any leak locations.

Managers and HOAs

For multiple units, prioritize active leaks, older roofs, tenant reports, and visible soft-metal damage first.

Important: this is not a claim service and not a promise of storm coverage. It is a practical triage step for deciding whether a professional inspection call makes sense.

Active leak or old stain: choose the safe next step

This request form is not an emergency dispatch service and does not guarantee a response time. If a ceiling is sagging, water is near electrical equipment, or an area appears unsafe, keep people away and contact appropriate local emergency or qualified repair services directly. Do not touch wet electrical fixtures, puncture ceilings, climb ladders, enter unsafe attics, or attempt roof tarping.

For a non-urgent stain or ground-visible concern, record the room, date first noticed, and whether it changes during rain. A stain, dent, or pile of granules alone does not establish hail damage or its cause. Age, maintenance, plumbing, condensation, and other water-entry paths may also need professional assessment.

Separate summer 2025 exposure from today's observations

  1. Write down any personally observed hail exposure date or approximate month. Mark uncertain dates as unknown rather than assigning a storm date.
  2. Record when each stain, drip, or exterior mark was first noticed, separately from the suspected storm window.
  3. Keep original safe ground-level or interior photos with dates, plus any existing inspection and repair records. Do not alter images to emphasize damage.
  4. List later rain, repairs, or recurring symptoms without assuming they prove a link to the 2025 event.

This page is not proof that a specific property was struck or damaged. A qualified professional must assess the actual roof condition; no coverage or claim deadline is established here.

Use the safe photo checklist

For building owners, property managers and HOA boards

Group reports by building, unit and room. Keep tenant contact details and access credentials in your private records, not public photo captions. Identify the owner or authorized manager who can coordinate an inspection; do not assume the HOA is responsible for every roof section.

  • Report active leaks before routine cosmetic observations.
  • Note occupied units, business hours and access restrictions.
  • Bring existing roof material, age and repair records if available.
  • Do not send lockbox codes or sensitive insurance documents through the initial request.

Prepare a short inspection-call request

Include your city, property type, whether you are the owner or authorized contact, the main visible concern, when it began, and your preferred phone or email. Keep observations separate from suspected causes. Requesting a call is not a booking confirmation.

Questions Bend property owners ask

Should I climb on the roof to check hail damage?

No. Use ground-level observations, interior leak signs, and safe photos only. A professional can decide whether roof access is appropriate.

Can this guarantee insurance coverage?

No. The page is for an inspection-call request and triage. Coverage, claim decisions, and replacement scope depend on policy language, observed damage, documentation, and insurer review.

What signs matter after hail or wind?

Dented gutters or vents, granule buildup near downspouts, bruised or lifted shingles, ceiling stains, active leaks, skylight damage, and debris impact areas can all be worth documenting.
