Shingle roof replacement and repairs in Washington County, OR
Washington County's subdivisions in Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Tualatin, Sherwood and Forest Grove are full of 1980s to 2000s roofs now coming due. We replace and repair shingle roofs, work within HOA rules and handle the farm and rural homes out west.
Much of Washington County was built out in subdivisions from the 1970s through the 2000s, so a large share of roofs are original or second-generation asphalt shingles reaching the end of their life at the same time. We replace them with new architectural shingles, underlayment and ventilation, help you meet HOA color and material rules, and repair leaks, wind damage and moss on homes from Beaverton to Forest Grove.
Washington County spreads west from Portland's West Hills across the Tualatin Valley, taking in Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Tualatin, Sherwood, Forest Grove and the farmland and small towns between them. Its growth was driven by the tech employers of the Silicon Forest along the Highway 26 corridor, and that boom brought wave after wave of subdivisions, townhome communities and apartment complexes.
Because so many neighborhoods went up within a few years of each other, their roofs tend to wear out together too. Walk through a Beaverton or Hillsboro subdivision and you'll often see several houses on the same street being reroofed within a season or two. We handle those replacements, the repairs that come before them, and the older farmhouses and rural homes out toward Forest Grove and the Coast Range foothills.
What roofs cover Washington County neighborhoods?
The typical Washington County home is a two-story house built between the late 1970s and early 2000s, with a hip or gable roof, a few valleys, and asphalt shingles. Older neighborhoods in central Beaverton and Tigard have 1960s and 1970s ranches and split-levels, some still with cedar shake or shake that was overlaid with shingles. Newer areas around South Hillsboro, Bethany, Sherwood and Tualatin have homes from the 2000s onward with architectural shingles and more complex rooflines.
Many of these neighborhoods have HOAs that set rules for shingle color, profile and sometimes brand. West of Hillsboro, the housing opens up into farmland, with older farmhouses, barns and outbuildings that often carry metal roofs. Homes near the Tualatin Hills and the edges of Forest Park get more tree cover and moss, while the open valley floor takes more wind.
What roof issues come up most in Washington County?
Original subdivision roofs wearing out
Builder-grade shingles from the 1980s and 1990s are past their life on many Washington County homes. Granule loss, curling and brittle tabs lead to leaks. A full tear-off with new underlayment and venting is usually the right move at this stage.
HOA color and material approvals
Many subdivisions require approval of shingle color and style before a reroof. We provide samples and product details for your HOA submittal and schedule the work once you have the approval in hand.
Underventilated attics in tract homes
Some production homes were built with too little soffit intake or blocked vents. Moist air condenses on the deck in winter, leading to dark sheathing and mold. We balance intake and exhaust venting during the reroof.
Wind damage on the open valley
Homes on the open valley floor around Hillsboro and Forest Grove take strong winter winds. Shingles lift at rakes and ridges. We replace damaged sections with proper nailing and sealed edges.
Old shake overlaid with shingles
Some older Washington County homes had shingles laid over cedar shake. The uneven base causes bumps, poor sealing and nail pops. We tear off both layers and install a solid deck before new roofing goes on.

How a Washington County reroof is planned
Most Washington County subdivisions have wide streets and driveways, so staging a dumpster and delivering shingles is simple. If you have an HOA, we start with the color and product approval, then book your install date. The written estimate lists tear-off, deck repair by the sheet, underlayment, flashing, vents and cleanup. Rural homes out west may have longer driveways and outbuildings, so we plan access and material drop points before the crew arrives.
Roofing questions from Washington County
Do you help with HOA approval for a roof in Washington County?
Yes. Many Washington County subdivisions in Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard and Sherwood require HOA approval for roof color and style. We provide shingle samples, product sheets and color names for your submittal. Once your HOA signs off, we schedule the reroof and install exactly what was approved.
How do I know if my Washington County subdivision roof needs replacing?
Look for curling or cupped shingles, bald spots, heavy granules in the gutters and leaks around vents or valleys. Many Washington County roofs from the 1980s and 1990s show these signs now. We inspect the roof and attic, tell you how much life is left, and give a written estimate for repair or replacement.
Can you put a metal roof on a barn or farmhouse in western Washington County?
We do. On farm properties west of Hillsboro and around Forest Grove in Washington County, we install exposed fastener and standing seam metal roofs on farmhouses, barns and shops. Metal handles moss and wind well and suits large, simple roof shapes. We'll recommend panel type and gauge based on the building.
