Springfield OR Roof Pros provides professional asphalt shingle roofs in Springfield, OR for residential and commercial properties across Lane County and the south Willamette Valley. Asphalt covers most of Springfield and it is the right answer for most of it. The interesting decisions all sit underneath: what the nails land in, how many layers came before, and whether the deck can be trusted to hold anything at all.
Fastener penetration is the specification that gets skipped. A nail has to reach three-quarters of an inch into solid wood, or pass entirely through sheathing thinner than that. On a skip-sheathed roof there is nothing under a large fraction of the field for it to reach, which is why an overlay of new sheathing here is not an upgrade but a precondition. A quote that skips the deck is quoting a different roof than the one you own.
We do not lay composition over cedar. It is permitted in places and it is done, and every one of those roofs we have opened has been soft, uneven and full of trapped moisture underneath. Shakes were designed to dry from both faces, and sealing the upper one turns a century-old roof deck into a compost layer with a warranty on top.
Between the products, the choice is duller than the brochures suggest. A laminated architectural shingle with a proper starter course, six nails in the fastening band and a self-adhered membrane in the valleys will outlast the homeowner's interest in it. Upgrading the shingle while leaving the valleys and the intake alone buys you nothing. Spend the money on the deck, the intake and the valley metal instead.
Color deserves a sentence in this valley. Under five months of flat gray light, the dark browns and charcoals that photograph beautifully in a catalogue read almost black on a north-facing plane, while the weathered wood tones that look bland on a sample board are the ones still looking deliberate in February. We bring boards up to the roof and look at them on the slope rather than at a kitchen table.
Timing is the last variable. We install year-round because we must, but a roof laid between late June and September gets sun on its seal strip within days and one laid in December will not seal until spring. If your roof can wait for July, wait for July, and we will tell you so. A roof laid in the dry stays where you put it, and one laid in December moves until April.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — old-growth Douglas fir one-by plank decking, skip sheathing laid with open gaps beneath cedar shake, half-inch plywood overlay nailed off into the rafters below, clear vertical-grain fir fascia spliced with a scarf joint, continuous soffit intake slotted into a solid wood eave, twenty-four gauge standing seam on concealed clips — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Springfield and nearby communities including Eugene, Santa Clara, River Road, Coburg.

Materials, equipment and how we do asphalt shingle roofs
The difference between asphalt shingle roofs that lasts and asphalt shingle roofs that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with old-growth Douglas fir one-by plank decking, skip sheathing laid with open gaps beneath cedar shake, half-inch plywood overlay nailed off into the rafters below, clear vertical-grain fir fascia spliced with a scarf joint, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Springfield job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Lane County and the south Willamette Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Springfield Chooses Springfield OR Roof Pros
- ✓We read the deck from inside the attic before we price the covering, because on a house built for the mills the sheathing decides the job and the shingle barely does.
- ✓We will not lay composition over an old cedar shake roof. Shakes were built to dry from both faces, and sealing the upper one turns a century-old deck into a compost layer.
- ✓When we overlay a skip-sheathed deck we redesign the ventilation with it, because those gaps between the boards were the roof's air supply and new sheathing ends that.
- ✓We repair old-growth fir fascia rather than wrapping it in aluminum coil, because the wood on these houses is better than its replacement and coil hides rot instead of stopping it.
