Our Roofing Services in Medford, OR
Roof Replacement
A Medford re-roof is now the rare construction decision in Oregon with no public standard attached to it. Since July 2025 there is no state hazard map and no adopted code section telling you what class of covering has to go back on your house.
Roof Leak Repair
The Rogue Valley gives a roof five months off. From mid-May a Medford roof can be badly wrong and show you nothing, because nothing lands on it.
Storm Damage Restoration
Storms here are frontal, not convective. Winter systems come up the valley off the Pacific, dump their rain in a day or two, and leave.
Hail Damage Roofing
Straight answer before anything else: Medford is not a hail market. Damaging hail reaches this valley perhaps once in a decade, and if somebody knocked on your door after a rain event offering a free hail inspection, they did not drive here from Texas for your benefit.
Wind Damage Roofing
Wind here follows the valley. The Rogue and Bear Creek run northwest to southeast between the Siskiyous and the Cascades, and the sustained events funnel along that axis, which means the rake edges of northwest-facing gables take the load on most Medford houses.
Roof Inspections
Book this after the first real rain, not before. A Rogue Valley roof hides its faults through a bone-dry summer and confesses everything in the first forty-eight hours of a proper October system, so a September inspection finds a fraction of what the same visit finds in November.
Asphalt Shingle Roofs
For nearly every house in Medford the right covering is a laminated asphalt shingle over synthetic underlayment, and the interesting decisions are all underneath it. The shingle itself is close to a commodity at this point.
Metal Roofing
Here is the pitch we will not make: buy steel and your insurance gets easier. It might.
Tile Roofing
Concrete tile suits this climate better than it suits most of Oregon. A dry Mediterranean summer and a short wet season is close to what the product was designed around, and the mass of a tile field moderates an August attic in a way composition does not.
Flat & Low-Slope Roofing
Low slope turns up in Medford on two things: the downtown commercial stock along Main and Central, and the back halves of houses that grew a family room in 1972. The two need different answers, and the residential half is where most of the bad work happens.
Roof Coatings & Sealing
This page mostly talks you out of things. A coating maintains a low-slope or metal roof that is already sound.
Roof Ventilation
In most of Oregon attic ventilation is a moisture argument. In Medford it is a heat argument, and the two lead to different work.
Skylights
Before the installation conversation, the orientation conversation. A skylight on a south or west plane in Medford is a heating appliance with a view attached.
Gutters & Downspouts
A Medford gutter does nothing for five months and then handles the whole year in a compressed wet season. Nineteen inches of rain falls here in an average year, most of it between November and March, and much of that arrives in a handful of heavy systems.
Fascia & Soffit
Eaves fail differently in a dry valley. On the Oregon coast the fascia rots.
Chimney Flashing
A chimney is four separate flashing details pretending to be one, and it leaks more often than every other penetration on a Medford roof combined. Base apron below, step flashing woven into the courses on both sides, counterflashing let into the masonry, and a saddle behind a wide stack.
Emergency Tarping
Tarping in this valley is genuinely temporary, and that should change what you pay for it. The Rogue Valley wet season arrives in systems with dry gaps between them, so a covering here has to survive days or a week or two, not a whole locked-in winter.
Commercial Roofing
Medford is the commercial center for everything between Roseburg and Redding, which gives this town a building stock out of proportion to its population. Medical campuses, the airport, distribution off Table Rock Road, retail along Crater Lake Highway and the White City industrial park sit inside our working radius.
Insurance Claim Help
The most valuable document in this county is not a claim form. It is a non-renewal notice, and almost nobody reads theirs properly.
Medford OR Roof Pros is a licensed and insured Medford, Oregon roofing contractor, taking on replacement roofs, leak repair, storm work and commercial low-slope jobs throughout the Rogue Valley. We install laminated asphalt shingles, standing seam steel, concrete tile and single-ply membrane, and we specify high-temperature underlayment on every hot deck we open up. Residential and commercial, replacement and repair.
In July 2025 Senate Bill 83 voided Oregon's statewide wildfire hazard map, and the wildfire section of the residential code became something a city may adopt or ignore. Ashland and Grants Pass adopted it. Medford and unincorporated Jackson County did not. On a re-roof in this city, no public rule sets your covering class at all any more.
That leaves exactly one body still grading your roof, and it is your insurance carrier, working from aerial imagery and a private model you cannot look up. So we build and document roofs an underwriter can actually read: product listing numbers, dated photographs of every plane, permits and inspection records. Ask for a free inspection anywhere from Central Point out to Cave Junction, and keep the photographs whatever you decide to do.
What Medford Customers Say
Our carrier sent a non-renewal letter over the roof and we had no idea what to do with it. They read the letter, walked the roof, and told us three of the five items on it were worth doing and two were not. We did the three, sent the photos in, and got reinstated.
Called in July wanting it done that month. They told me to wait until September and explained exactly why, which no other bidder mentioned. Roof went on the third week of September and sealed down within days. I appreciated being told no.
Leak turned out to be four cracked pipe collars, not the roof. Two other companies had quoted a full replacement. They fixed the collars, showed me photos of each one before and after, and charged me a couple of hundred dollars.
They knew our city had adopted the wildfire code section and Medford had not, which turned out to matter for the addition we were permitting. First contractor in three who could answer the question without calling someone.
Why Medford Chooses Medford OR Roof Pros
- ✓We establish which building department your address answers to before we quote, because two jurisdictions near here adopted the wildfire code section and two did not
- ✓We tell you the thing nobody selling roofs in this valley volunteers: the state hazard map was voided in July 2025, so no public rule sets the covering class on your re-roof
- ✓Before you buy a single fire-hardening line, we send you to your carrier for the written credit schedule Oregon law entitles you to, and we strike whatever it does not pay for
- ✓Every job closes with dated photographs of each plane and the assembly listing number, because what most often costs a policy here is an aerial image the owner never saw
- ✓We will not lay laminated asphalt on a hundred-degree deck in July, and we say so even when it costs us the month and the customer
- ✓We size downspouts rather than gutters, because nineteen inches of rain arriving in four months overwhelms outlets long before it overwhelms a trough
About Medford OR Roof Pros in Medford, OR
Medford OR Roof Pros works Medford, Central Point, Ashland, Eagle Point, Jacksonville, White City, Grants Pass and the smaller communities out through the Applegate and the Illinois Valley. Residential replacement and repair, commercial low-slope, gutters, ventilation and the documentation that goes with all of it.
We built this company around a change most people in this valley have not caught up with. Oregon spent three years telling homeowners a map would decide what their roofs had to be, and then in July 2025 the legislature voided the map and made the home-hardening code a local choice.
What actually decides your roof now is a private insurance model, and almost nobody is helping homeowners deal with that. We do, and we put the evidence in your hands rather than ours.
Do not call us if the cheapest number in your inbox is what you are after. We tear off to the deck, we will not install in the July heat, we quote three-by-four downspouts when two-by-three is legal, and we say no to work we do not think you need.
There are companies in this valley that will do it faster and for less, and for a rental you are selling next spring, one of them is probably the right call.
How It Works
- 1
We Find Out Which Building Department You Answer To
Four different jurisdictions sit within twenty minutes of downtown Medford and they did not all make the same choice about the wildfire code section. We establish where your address falls before we quote anything, because it decides what was ever required of the building.
- 2
A Roof Walk and a Dated Photograph of Every Plane
Every plane that will safely hold a person gets walked, and the rest gets a pole camera. Then we photograph each slope, each penetration and the attic. You keep that set. It is the ground truth that answers an aerial condition score if one ever comes back against you.
- 3
A Quote Where the Insurance Lines Can Be Struck
Fire detailing, vent upgrades and eave work are priced as separate lines rather than folded into a square-foot number. Take your carrier's written credit schedule, compare it against those lines, and cross off anything the schedule does not actually pay for.
- 4
Permit, Inspection and a Closing Packet
We pull the permit in this company's name so the inspection record attaches to us, we photograph the underlayment and flashing stages before they disappear, and we hand you a closing packet with the product listing number on it.
Commercial Roofing in Medford and Across Southern Oregon
Medford carries the commercial building stock for the whole region between Roseburg and the California line, and most of it is single-story low-slope. We install, repair and maintain membrane and metal systems on medical suites, retail, light industrial and agricultural buildings from downtown out to the White City industrial park, and we keep the inspection record that a carrier or a lender will ask for at renewal.

- ✓Standing seam and structural metal on agricultural and light-industrial buildings

- ✓Drain, scupper and overflow clearing before the wet season, and outlet resizing where undersized
- ✓Core samples and a plan drawing where the existing assembly is unknown
- ✓Early starts and staged phasing around clinic hours, food service and tenant operations

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Medford still have a wildfire hazard map?
No. Senate Bill 83, signed in July 2025, voided the statewide wildfire hazard map and the Department of Forestry orders that assigned properties to hazard zones. It also removed the mandatory defensible space standards and the wildland-urban interface question from the seller's property disclosure. Anything you were told about your map designation before that date no longer has legal effect.
Is my roof required to be Class A in Medford?
Not on a re-roof, no. The wildfire section of the Oregon Residential Specialty Code is now a local-option provision, it applies to new construction where a jurisdiction has adopted it, and Medford and Jackson County have not adopted it. Ashland and Grants Pass have. In practice nearly every laminated asphalt roof we install is a Class A assembly anyway, because that is the ordinary product.
Then why does my insurer care about my roof?
Because carriers do their own assessment and are not bound by what any public body did or did not adopt. Most now license high-resolution aerial imagery and run automated condition scoring on it, looking for granule loss, patching, sagging and tree contact. That model, not the state, is what decides whether you stay insured.
My carrier sent a non-renewal notice. What are my rights?
Oregon requires that a notice tied to wildfire risk describe the property-specific characteristics behind the decision and the mitigation actions that would improve insurability, and if a risk score was used, how it is calculated and where your property falls in the range. Bring us that letter. It is effectively a scope of work, and we will price it line by line and tell you which items we would skip.
Does Oregon license roofing contractors?
Yes, through the Construction Contractors Board, and unlike some states it is required of anyone doing the work for compensation rather than only of companies with employees. The board publishes bond and insurance status and the complaint history for every number. Ask any bidder for theirs and spend two minutes on the board's search before you sign.
When is the worst time of year to put a roof on here?
July and August. A Medford deck under a dark covering in midsummer gets hot enough that a laminated shingle scuffs under a boot and distorts around the nail head, and neither is a warranty claim. The other bad window is late November, when surface temperatures no longer let the sealant strips bond before wind season. Late spring and September are the good ones.
