Frequently Asked Questions
Here’s what homeowners and business owners ask most about our roofing services in Springfield.
Great question—because roofing in Springfield and Eugene, Oregon means dealing with challenging weather. We don’t get perfect 70-degree days on demand. If we only worked on flawless weather days in the Pacific Northwest, we’d finish about three roofs a year.
This isn’t our first rodeo with rain. We’ve been roofing in Oregon’s wet climate for years and know exactly how to keep your home safe and dry during installation—even when the weather isn’t cooperating.
Temporary Repairs in Most Weather
If you’re dealing with an emergency leak or storm damage, we can respond in almost any weather to stop water intrusion. During the January 2024 ice storm, our crews were out in freezing conditions making emergency repairs for Springfield homeowners affected by fallen trees and ice-related damage.
Strategic Tear-Off and Weatherproofing
For full roof replacements, we wait for appropriate weather windows and monitor forecasts constantly. Our rule is simple: we only tear off what we can safely dry in the same day. We work in sections and never leave your home exposed to incoming rain.
Premium Synthetic Underlayment Protection
After tear-off, we immediately install
GAF Tiger Paw synthetic underlayment. This high-performance underlayment sheds water and keeps your home protected when installed correctly. It’s rated to remain exposed for up to
180 days, giving us flexibility to work around Oregon weather. Once it’s in place, shingles can even be installed in light rain without risk.
Quality Installation Can’t Be Rushed
We may not always be able to start your roof immediately if the weather isn’t right—and that’s intentional. Rushing a roof in bad conditions compromises quality. Your roof is too important for shortcuts. In the meantime, we use tarps and temporary protection to keep water out until installation can proceed.
This isn’t marketing fluff. We’ve seen too many poorly planned jobs where homes were left exposed to rain. That’s not how we operate. Your home, belongings, and family’s safety come first—always.
As professional Oregon roofing contractors, we work successfully in all seasons. Summer offers the most predictable weather, but we complete quality roof installations year-round—including winter. We understand Oregon weather, plan around it, and have systems in place to do the job right no matter the season.
Need a winter roof replacement?
Don’t hesitate to call. We have the experience and processes to protect your home and deliver quality results—even when the weather isn’t ideal.
We love our green grass, beautiful trees, and gorgeous flowers here in Springfield, Oregon—but all that greenery comes with a price: moisture. Our Pacific Northwest climate is demanding, and not all roofing materials perform equally 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 does not absorb moisture, resists moss far better than shingles, and can last
50+ years to a lifetime. Water sheds easily, snow and ice slide off naturally, and there’s no concern about shingles breaking down from constant moisture exposure.
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 since it’s 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 include algae-resistant technology.
That said, architectural shingles require maintenance in Western Oregon. Moss is persistent here, and staying on top of prevention and cleaning is essential. With proper care, quality architectural shingles typically provide 20–30 years of solid performance.
Premium Designer Shingles
These high-end architectural shingles offer enhanced 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 in the Eugene–Springfield area. These single-ply membranes are designed to handle standing water and heavy moisture. Heat-welded seams create a fully watertight system with an expected lifespan of
20–30 years when properly installed.
What About Cedar Shake or Wood Shingles?
Cedar shake roofs look great, but they are extremely high-maintenance in our wet climate. Moss grows aggressively on wood, rot is a constant risk, and regular treatments are required. Unless you’re committed to ongoing maintenance, we usually recommend other options.
No matter which roofing material you choose, these maintenance basics are critical in our climate:
The Bottom Line for Springfield Roofing Materials
Different materials fit different budgets and priorities. Metal offers the longest lifespan and lowest maintenance. Architectural shingles provide excellent value with reasonable upkeep. No matter what you choose, proper installation by experienced Oregon roofing contractors and regular maintenance are essential for maximum roof life in our demanding climate.
