Springfield OR Roof Pros provides professional roof replacement in Springfield, OR for residential and commercial properties across Lane County and the south Willamette Valley. Most of the money in a Lane County re-roof gets decided before a single bundle of shingles reaches the ground. What the old covering is fastened to sets the price, and on Springfield's mill-era houses that is very often not plywood.
Houses built for the Booth-Kelly and Weyerhaeuser payrolls wore cedar shake over skip sheathing, one-by boards laid with two or three inches of open air between them so the shakes could dry from below. Composition shingles cannot span that. The boards either get overlaid with new sheathing or torn off and replaced, and which of those two you need is worth thousands of dollars.
We settle that from inside the attic before anyone writes a number, rather than from the roof deck on the morning of tear-off. A work light held under the sheathing shows board width, gap spacing, the rows of square-cut shake nails, and whether a previous crew already sheeted over the openings. Twenty minutes below the insulation turns the largest variable in the job into a fixed figure on your proposal.
The second thing we hunt for is composition laid straight over the original shakes, and there is a great deal of it in the older parts of town. Two layers of asphalt bedded on 1930s cedar feels reassuringly solid underfoot and is nothing of the sort. It all comes off, and the tonnage headed for the dumpster runs close to double an ordinary tear-off. It is the largest single number on the page.
Newer stock changes the arithmetic completely. On the truss-framed subdivisions built out toward Thurston and Mount Vernon Road since about 1980, the deck is half-inch sheathing under one layer of architectural shingle, and the work is a clean tear-off with a stated price for the few soft panels we expect to find. We quote the two situations apart because they are not one job with two addresses.
If the covering has eight or ten seasons left and the boards underneath are sound, we will put that in writing and give you a month to call us back rather than a contract to sign. Replacing a roof that is still doing its job is the most expensive thing a homeowner can be talked into, and we would rather lose the sale than be the reason it happened.
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 roof replacement
The difference between roof replacement that lasts and roof replacement 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.
The standards behind roof replacement
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof replacement work we do in Springfield follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every roof replacement project in Springfield gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
