When to request a call

Before colder weather, Redmond building owners can group roof-drain behavior, ceiling stains, tenant reports, and safe access notes so an inspection call starts with useful details. The call helps decide whether a professional roof inspection should be scheduled and what details should be ready first.

  • Ponding or overflow stains near drains, scuppers, parapets, or gutters
  • Ceiling tile stains below rooftop units, drains, or wall transitions
  • Tenant or maintenance reports that started after hail, wind, rain, or freeze-thaw cycles
  • Business-hour, alarm, ladder, rooftop-unit, and tenant access constraints

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.

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.
