Top Reasons to Choose Our Commercial Roofing Services
Protecting Your Business with Quality Roofing
Frequently Asked Questions
Here’s what homeowners and business owners ask most about our roofing services in Springfield.
We love our green grass, towering trees, and beautiful landscapes here in Springfield, Oregon—but all that greenery comes with one big downside: moisture. The Pacific Northwest climate is tough on roofs, and not every roofing material performs well in the Willamette Valley.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
For the best long-term performance in our wet climate, metal roofing is hard to beat. Standing seam metal doesn’t absorb moisture, resists moss growth, and can last
50+ years to a lifetime. Water, snow, and ice shed easily—we saw this clearly during the 2024 ice storm.
While the upfront cost is higher, minimal maintenance and exceptional longevity often make metal roofing more cost-effective over the life of the home. It’s also energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, as metal roofs are fully recyclable.
Architectural Shingles
The most popular residential roofing option in Springfield for good reason. Modern architectural shingles are thicker, more durable, and far superior to old three-tab shingles. Many now include algae-resistant technology.
In Western Oregon, architectural shingles do require ongoing maintenance. Moss is common here, and staying on top of moss prevention and cleaning is important. With proper care, quality architectural shingles typically deliver 20–30 years of reliable performance.
Premium Designer Shingles
These high-end architectural shingles offer increased durability, stronger warranties
(30-year workmanship and
50-year material warranties), and improved performance in challenging climates. They cost more than standard architectural shingles but less than metal, making them an excellent middle-ground option.
Low-Slope Membrane Roofing (PVC or TPO)
For flat or low-pitch roofs, PVC or TPO membrane systems are the best choice. These single-ply membranes are designed for standing water and heavy moisture. Heat-welded seams create a fully watertight system with an expected lifespan of
20–30 years when properly installed and maintained.
What About Cedar Shake or Wood Shingles?
Cedar roofs look great, but they are extremely high-maintenance in our wet climate. Moss grows aggressively on wood, rot is a constant concern, and regular treatments are required. Unless you’re committed to significant ongoing maintenance, we usually recommend other materials.
No matter which roofing material you choose, these maintenance steps are critical in our climate:
The Bottom Line for Springfield Roofing Materials
Different materials suit different budgets and priorities. Metal roofing offers the longest lifespan and lowest maintenance. Architectural shingles provide excellent value with reasonable upkeep. Whatever you choose, proper installation by experienced Oregon roofing contractors—and regular maintenance—are key to getting the most life from your roof in our demanding climate.
Interested in solar? We install GAF Energy solar shingles and solar systems—an integrated solution that looks clean, performs exceptionally well, and simplifies the process.
If your roof is old or nearing the end of its lifespan and you’re considering solar, the smart move is to replace the roof first. Solar systems typically last 25–30 years. Installing solar on an aging roof means paying later to remove and reinstall the system when the roof needs replacement.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
The best roofing material for solar—period. Solar mounts attach directly to the standing seams with
no roof penetrations, eliminating leak risk. Metal roofs last 50+ years, meaning your solar system will likely need replacement before your roof does. Metal also reflects heat, keeping your home cooler and improving solar efficiency.
Architectural Shingles with Solar
Solar panels can absolutely be installed on architectural shingle roofs. Specialized flashing boots integrate with the shingles to maintain watertight protection. We work with solar installers regularly and ensure shingle roofs are properly prepared for solar mounting.
We handle this situation often in Springfield and Eugene. Here’s how the process works:
Cost Considerations
Removing and reinstalling traditional solar panels typically adds
$2,000–$5,000+ to a roofing project, depending on system size. Planning ahead avoids these added costs.
We install GAF Energy solar shingles and integrated solar systems in Springfield and Eugene. These systems combine roofing and solar into one clean, cohesive solution—no juggling multiple contractors.
Bottom Line
Thinking about solar? Talk to us early. We’ll help you plan the right approach—whether that’s GAF Energy solar shingles, a solar-ready roof, or replacing a roof that already has solar installed.
