When to request a call

For Bend HOA and townhome communities that need a practical way to sort visible storm signs, access constraints, and owner/board coordination before inspection scheduling. The call helps decide whether a professional roof inspection should be scheduled and what details should be ready first.

  • Unit clusters with leaks
  • Shared roof sections
  • Common-area access constraints
  • Gutter or vent dents across buildings

Safe first-step checklist

  • Do not climb the roof.
  • Take photos from the ground only if safe.
  • Note property access, pets, tenants, gates, and steep areas.
  • Track leak/stain rooms and approximate dates noticed.
  • Use the main form to request an inspection call.

Hail

Dents on vents, gutters, flashing, or other soft metals can help decide whether closer review is worthwhile.

Wind

Lifted, creased, shifted, or missing shingles may not be obvious from the driveway.

Leaks

Ceiling staining or attic moisture after a storm window should be documented before it spreads.

A shared-roof report the board can act on

Keep one private report per building or shared-roof section. Record the unit and room, first-noticed date, whether water is entering now, and any earlier repair reference. Separate what an owner observed from what a qualified professional has confirmed. The Bend summer 2025 hail event is not proof of damage at a particular community; a later stain alone cannot establish storm cause.

Safety comes before the next board meeting

This form is not an emergency dispatch service and does not guarantee a response time. Keep people away from sagging ceilings, wet electrical equipment, and falling materials. Contact appropriate local emergency or qualified repair services directly for immediate hazards; do not wait for a form response or scheduled board discussion. Do not climb the roof, use ladders to take photos, puncture ceilings, or enter unsafe attics.

Confirm authority before arranging work

Identify the board or manager contact who can authorize inspection access. Check the association documents and established management process rather than assuming a unit owner can authorize common-roof repairs or that the association is responsible for every interior issue. Ask the selected professional to confirm inspection scope, access needs, any fees, and the written findings they can provide before agreeing to work.

Copyable owner-report checklist

Never put keys, gate codes, resident names, or occupancy schedules in public posts or photo captions. Share access arrangements privately with the authorized professional. A board report organizes observations; it does not determine insurance coverage, claim approval, repair responsibility, or replacement scope.

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.
