Shingle reroofing and leak repair in Hillsboro, OR 97124
Hillsboro has grown fast around the Silicon Forest, so its roofs range from 1990s subdivisions now due for new shingles to century-old homes near downtown. We handle reroofs, leak repairs and gutter work across the city. Call (503) 917-5484.
Hillsboro roof work splits between two kinds of homes. Subdivisions from the 1990s and 2000s, including much of Orenco, Tanasbourne and the neighborhoods off Cornell Road, need shingle replacements and leak repairs as their first roofs wear out. Older homes near downtown need careful flashing, chimney and decking work. We do both, plus moss removal, gutters and attic venting. We answer 24/7 at (503) 917-5484.
Hillsboro changed quickly as the tech campuses along Highway 26 and Cornell Road brought thousands of new households to Washington County. Many of the homes built during that growth have the same basic composition roof, installed at roughly the same time, which means whole streets are now facing shingle replacement within a few years of each other. At the same time, the older core around downtown and the county courthouse keeps homes that have been reroofed several times over a century.
We approach each one differently. On a 1990s or 2000s home, the job is usually a clean tear-off, a decking check around the valleys and eaves, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield and a ridge vent that matches the soffit intake. On an older downtown house, we expect board decking, a brick chimney that needs new step and counterflashing, and attic spaces with little or no ventilation. Either way, the work is done by our roofers and explained in plain terms. Call (503) 917-5484 any time.
Orenco rowhomes, Tanasbourne two-stories and old downtown houses
Orenco Station is known for its walkable design, with townhomes, small-lot homes and mixed-use buildings set close together. Rooflines there are often steep with dormers, short valleys and shared walls, which makes flashing details and gutter sizing important. Around Tanasbourne, Amberglen and the neighborhoods north of Cornell Road, you'll find two-story homes from the 1990s and 2000s, nearly all with composition shingles, many still on the first roof the builder installed.
Near downtown Hillsboro and the older streets around Shute Park, homes include early 1900s farmhouses, bungalows and mid-century ranches. These roofs often hide two layers of shingles, skip sheathing under the newer material and chimneys that were never properly flashed. South Hillsboro is the newest growth area, with recent construction and tight lots. Across the city, open farmland nearby means winter wind reaches homes with little to break it, while mature trees in older neighborhoods keep some roofs shaded and mossy.
Which roof problems do Hillsboro homeowners call about?
First generation shingles wearing out
Builder grade three-tab and entry architectural shingles from the 1990s and early 2000s are losing granules and curling. Bare spots absorb water, and leaks start at valleys and around skylights. A full replacement is usually more sensible than chasing one leak at a time.
Undersized attic ventilation
Many tract homes have a few box vents and partly blocked soffits. Poor airflow cooks shingles from below in summer and causes condensation in winter, which shows up as dark sheathing and frost on nails. Balanced intake and ridge exhaust fixes it.
Complex rooflines on townhomes
Steep pitches, dormers and wall-to-roof junctions on Orenco townhomes create many places for water to get in. Missing kickout flashing at the bottom of a wall is a common cause of hidden siding rot and interior leaks.
Old flashing on downtown homes
Chimneys and walls on older Hillsboro houses often rely on caulk or roof cement instead of real step flashing. Once that cracks, water runs into the framing. We cut in step flashing and counterflashing so the repair lasts.

What a Hillsboro roof replacement day looks like
Most Hillsboro tear-offs take one or two days. We place the trailer where it won't crack the driveway, cover shrubs and AC units, and keep the street clear for neighbors on tight Orenco and South Hillsboro lots. Townhome and HOA communities often need the shingle color approved and the board told before work starts, and we give you what you need for that. Older downtown homes may need extra time for decking repairs, which we price per sheet in the written estimate after our on-roof look.
Roofing questions from Hillsboro
Is it time to replace the original roof on my Hillsboro home?
If your Hillsboro home was built in the 1990s or early 2000s and still has its first roof, it's worth having it looked at. Signs it's time include granules collecting in gutters, curled or cracked tabs, bare spots and leaks around valleys. We check from the roof and give you photos and a written estimate.
Can you roof Hillsboro townhomes in Orenco that share walls?
Yes. Shared-wall townhomes in Orenco need careful tie-ins where one unit's roof meets the next. We coordinate with your HOA, protect the neighbor's roof at the joint and flash the transition so water can't get between the two. Some associations prefer doing a whole building at once, which we can plan.
How much does a shingle roof replacement cost in Hillsboro?
For a typical 1,800 to 2,400 square foot Hillsboro home, an asphalt shingle replacement usually runs about $13,870 to $24,690 in 2026, depending on pitch, layers, decking and shingle line. These are typical ranges, not a quote. Your real price comes after an on-roof look and a written estimate.
