Short answer: As of October 2026, the five highest-scoring roofing contractors in the Medford, OR metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score are JAM Roofing (81.6), HomeMasters Southern Oregon (71.0), Obsidian Sky Roofing (65.0), Rogue Valley Roofing (49.4), Evergreen Roofing (40.3). All of them carry a verifiable manufacturer certification, every rating here was cross-checked against an independent record, and no money changed hands for any placement.
The Roofing Brief scored 5 certified roofing contractors serving the Medford metro on a published, reproducible formula, then researched each of the top five individually to confirm its record. Medford’s defining roof event was fire, not hail: on 8 September 2020 the Almeda Drive Fire destroyed about 2,500 homes along the Bear Creek greenway between Ashland and Medford. Oregon licenses every roofer through its Construction Contractors Board, with an exam, a bond and a public register, but its wildfire roofing standard applies only to new buildings in places that adopt it, not to a reroof. Five certified firms appear in the directory for the metro and all five serve Medford, so all five are ranked, with one adverse safety record disclosed.
What actually ages a Medford roof
Oregon requires anyone who bids or does roofing work to hold a current Construction Contractors Board licence with the right endorsement. There is no roofing-only licence: roofers hold a residential general or residential specialty endorsement, backed by a $25,000 or $20,000 bond and at least $500,000 or $300,000 of liability insurance, and the firm’s responsible managing individual must complete 16 hours of training and pass the board’s exam. The only exemption is casual work under $1,000 by someone who does not advertise. Every firm ranked here is on the register with $1,000,000 of liability cover on file.
The board is also the complaint route, but with a deadline: for work on an existing home the board must receive your complaint no later than one year after the work was substantially completed. Oregon has no roofing-specific statute on insurance deductibles; its general insurance rebating law is written about premiums and commissions, not contractors. So the contract and the board licence carry most of the protection.
Medford’s reroof policy follows the state code: a like-for-like residential reroof needs no permit unless it adds weight beyond the code limit or the roof must be fire resistive. A permit is required for buildings of three or more units, homes over three storeys, a tile roof over an existing shingle or shake roof, and it may be required in wildfire hazard areas. The city’s policy still cites the 2021 Oregon residential code; the 2023 code is in force, with the 2026 edition phasing in to April 2027.
Hail barely registers. Across 2016 to 2025 Jackson County logged 9 hail reports, seven of them on one day in the Cascade foothills, and only one on the valley floor, at Medford airport in June 2021. Wind brings trees down rather than roofs off: in July 2024 storms near Phoenix snapped more than two dozen large pines, and a falling tree destroyed a home on Willow Springs Road. Heat is the routine stress, with 11 excessive heat events in the decade and highs of 106 to 111 degrees on 14 August 2023. The median home in Medford was built in 1985.

1. JAM Roofing — TRB Score 81.6
JAM Roofing is based in Medford, OR, in business since 1996, led by Kyle Kern, responsible managing individual and registered agent (CCB and Secretary of State); BBB lists Mark and Diana Ivers, Not accredited; A+ rating, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.
Certifications held: Master Elite (GAF), Owens Corning network member. Certification by more than one manufacturer is uncommon and requires meeting each programme’s separate standards for insurance, training and track record.

- Not accredited, A+ rating, business start 28 June 1996.. BBB business profile
What they actually do. Residential reroof and repair in asphalt, metal and slate; commercial low-slope and metal; gutters and skylights.
Why it ranks here. The established Medford roofer: licensed since 1996, with the date agreeing across the licensing board, the state business register, BBB and its own site, and a 4.9 across 171 reviews, the deepest record in the pool. It serves the whole valley from Ashland to Grants Pass.
Best fit for: Homeowners who want the longest consumer record in the valley and the capacity for slate or metal.
What we would want clarified. Oregon OSHA fined it $103,438 in August 2024 for a third repeat fall protection violation since April 2022, on a house reroof in Central Point; the company fixed the hazard during the inspection, and we did not find whether it appealed. Ask how fall protection is handled on your job. The licensing board and BBB name different principals, and no source explains the difference. Certification tier and reviews are unverified. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.
Verify the certification yourself on the GAF registry listing. The number carried on that listing is (541) 773-7663, which is the registry’s contact line and is often a directory tracking number rather than the contractor’s own: take the number from the company’s own website and compare the two.
2. HomeMasters Southern Oregon — TRB Score 71.0
HomeMasters Southern Oregon is based in Medford, OR, led by Lucas Main, responsible managing individual (CCB); Alyssa Main, registered agent, BBB no BBB profile found, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.
Certifications held: Master Elite (GAF), Owens Corning network, top tier on the locator. Certification by more than one manufacturer is uncommon and requires meeting each programme’s separate standards for insurance, training and track record.

What they actually do. Roofing, gutters, siding, windows and skylights, fencing and solar.
Why it ranks here. A perfect 5.0 across 26 reviews and Master Elite certification, from the locally owned Southern Oregon franchise of a regional exterior brand, licensed in Medford and also at the top tier of Owens Corning’s network.
Best fit for: Homeowners bundling a roof with gutters, siding or windows.
What we would want clarified. The local operator was formed in October 2023 and licensed in November 2023, so its own record is under three years; the since-1995 claim on its site belongs to the brand, not this business. We found no BBB profile. The liability policy on file runs to 20 October 2026, so ask for the renewed certificate. Certification tier and reviews are unverified.

Why it ranks here. A roofing-only firm with a 5.0 across 12 reviews and Master Elite certification, listing a Central Point office and naming Medford, Ashland and Jacksonville in its service area. It markets fire-resistant roofing specifically.
Best fit for: Central Point and north valley homeowners who want a fire-resistant reroof.
What we would want clarified. It is very new: licensed in February 2026, with its LLC and licence registered in Grants Pass, outside the metro. Its 20 years of experience refers to the crew, not the company. Its BBB rating is A-, and 12 reviews is a thin base. Certification tier and reviews are unverified.

What they actually do. Residential and commercial reroof, flat and single-ply roofing, metal, skylights and gutters.

Best fit for: Homeowners who want an owner-run local firm with a clean BBB record, including low-slope work.
What we would want clarified. Its 4.3 across 26 reviews is below the rest of the top four.

Why it ranks here. The longest-licensed roofer in the metro, on the Oregon register since March 1983 with a roofing specialty endorsement, run by its founder in White City, and with tile, slate and metal capability that few local firms advertise.
Best fit for: Tile, slate or standing seam metal roofs.
What we would want clarified. Its 3.4 rating across 11 reviews is the weakest consumer record we rank anywhere in this batch, and too thin to read much into either way; read the reviews before deciding. Its founding year is 1981 on its own site and 1983 on the licensing board and BBB. It is not BBB accredited. Certification tier and reviews are unverified.

19 severe weather reports in a decade, and why that matters in Medford
Aggregate hail counts tell you very little about a specific roof. These are the individual events: every severe-weather report logged by the National Weather Service across the 1 county of the Medford, OR statistical area over ten years, with the dates, the stone sizes and the towns they landed on. Over that decade the metro logged 9 hail reports, 10 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and 0 tornadoes. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $342,000; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
The biggest hail to fall on Medford in a decade
| Date | Stone size | Reported near | County |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 May 2017 | 1.75 in | Union Creek | Jackson |
| 4 May 2017 | 1.75 in | Union Creek | Jackson |
| 4 May 2017 | 1.5 in | Union Creek | Jackson |
| 4 May 2017 | 1.0 in | Mc Leod | Jackson |
| 4 May 2017 | 1.0 in | Mc Leod | Jackson |
| 4 May 2017 | 1.0 in | Prospect | Jackson |
The largest stone on record for this metro fell on 4 May 2017 near Union Creek, measured at 1.75 inches. That is ping-pong-ball sized, enough to bruise asphalt shingles and shorten a roof’s life without necessarily looking dramatic from the ground.
Wind. The strongest thunderstorm gust logged in the metro was 61 knots, about 70 mph, near Table Rock on 8 July 2025. Asphalt shingles begin lifting at roughly 67 mph when they are correctly nailed, and considerably below that when they are not.
What the National Weather Service wrote about it
The NWS logs a written account of each severe-weather episode. This is its description of the 8 July 2025 event near Table Rock, reproduced verbatim:
Strong winds downed 13 110 ft. tall wooden power poles along Highway 238 between Central Point and Jacksonville. A car was totaled after it drove into one of the poles. There were many fallen trees and limbs, which damaged 3 vehicles in Central Point. Power lines also were downed along Table Rock Rd. in Medford.
That is the kind of damage a roof in this metro has to be specified against, described by the agency that recorded it rather than by a contractor selling the repair.
When it happens. Severe weather reports cluster in May (9), July (4), August (3). The worst years on record were 2017 (10), 2024 (5), 2016 (1). If you are scheduling non-urgent work in Medford, the months outside that window are when crews are least stretched and least likely to be triaging emergency callouts ahead of your job.
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database, county-level detail files 2016 to 2025, filtered to the counties of this statistical area by The Roofing Brief. Damage figures are as reported to the NWS and undercount insured losses.
What to do with this. Hail is not the governing risk in Medford. Weight your decision toward wind rating, ventilation and flashing detail rather than paying extra for impact-rated shingles.
After Almeda: what Oregon’s wildfire code does and does not require
The Almeda Drive Fire started on 8 September 2020 and burned through a greenway and the neighbourhoods beside it, from Ashland through Talent and Phoenix toward Medford. NOAA’s record lists 2,482 residential structures, 173 commercial buildings and four public buildings destroyed, three deaths and 3,200 acres, with cleanup alone estimated at $170 million. Oregon’s housing agency puts it at more than 2,500 homes. The same day the South Obenchain Fire near Butte Falls destroyed 33 more homes.
Rebuilding came under special rules. A 2021 law let homes built before 2008 be rebuilt to the codes in force on 1 January 2008, and the state later paid 852 incentives across eight counties to owners who rebuilt to current or better standards. Jackson County lost 2,348 homes in the 2020 fires by the state energy department’s count, more than any other county.
Oregon’s wildfire construction standard, section R327 of the residential code, sets a roof covering equivalent to at least a Class B assembly in designated areas and bars wood shingles and shakes. That is a lower bar than California’s Class A. R327 also covers the roof edge: noncombustible gutters with a means to keep leaves out, ember-resistant or finely meshed vents, and limits on vents under low eaves.
Two limits matter for anyone replacing a roof. Since a 2025 law, R327 applies only where a city or county with a building inspection programme adopts it. And state guidance says plainly that it applies only to new buildings: replacing the roofing on an existing house is not subject to it, and neither are manufactured homes. Medford adopted ignition-resistant rules for new homes in wildfire hazard zones on 17 October 2019; the state’s list of adopting places names Ashland and Grants Pass but not Medford, Phoenix, Talent or Jackson County, and we could not confirm the current position.
So in most of the Rogue Valley, a fire-resistant reroof is the homeowner’s choice rather than a legal requirement. Asking for a Class A assembly, metal mesh vents and covered gutters costs little extra on a job that is already tearing off, and a roofer who raises it unprompted is telling you something about how it works.

How to check a Medford roofer in ten minutes
Licensing is required in OR. Oregon requires every construction contractor, including roofers, to be licensed by the Construction Contractors Board before doing any construction work for pay. A roofer may hold a residential general or a residential specialty endorsement, so check which one the firm actually has rather than assuming.
Licensure requires pre-licence training and an examination for the responsible managing individual, a CCB surety bond and general liability insurance naming the Board as certificate holder. A residential specialty endorsement limits the scope of work the licensee can take on; a residential general endorsement does not carry that limit.
Check here: Oregon CCB licence lookup. The CCB record publishes complaints, disciplinary actions and enforcement measures alongside licence status, which makes it one of the more informative state lookups in the country.
Four checks to run before you sign anything, in any state.
- Verify certification at the source. Use the GAF verification tool rather than trusting a badge image on a company website.
- Get the certificate of insurance from the insurer, not the contractor, and confirm general liability and workers compensation are both active on the day work starts.
- Confirm who pulls the permit. If a contractor asks you to pull it as the homeowner, that moves liability onto you. Decline.
- Get warranty terms in writing before any deposit, and check the manufacturer warranty being promised actually requires the certification tier the contractor holds.
How deep the Medford certified market really is
5 certified roofing contractors serve the principal cities of the Medford, OR statistical area, of which 0 hold the top President’s Club tier. The pool carries 246 customer reviews between them at a mean rating of 4.52.

How these Medford rankings were produced
Every contractor in the Medford, OR pool was scored out of 100 on four published components: certification tier, a Bayesian adjusted rating, review depth and distance from the metro centre. In this metro that meant scoring 5 certified contractors, of whom 0 hold President’s Club standing and 3 Master Elite, against a metro mean rating of 4.52. The top five were then researched individually against Better Business Bureau records, state licence registers and manufacturer directories. Good and bad findings are published together, and no contractor paid for a place here.
The full method, the weightings, what the GAF certification tiers actually mean, who is eligible to be ranked and what we do not claim are all set out on our roofer ranking methodology page. Last updated: October 2026. Scoring run: 2026-10-05. Corrections go to the editor and are actioned on verification.

How much damaging hail does Medford get?
The Medford, OR statistical area recorded 9 hail reports of 1 inch or larger and 0 of 2 inches or larger between 2016 and 2025 in the NOAA Storm Events Database. The largest hailstone reported measured 1.75 inches.
Did any contractor pay to appear on this list?
No. The Roofing Brief takes no placement fees, no lead fees and no affiliate commission from any roofing contractor. Ranking comes entirely from the published formula applied to public registry data, followed by an individual research pass on the top five.
What was the worst hailstorm in Medford in the last ten years?
The largest hailstone logged by the National Weather Service in the Medford, OR statistical area between 2016 and 2025 measured 1.75 inches, reported near Union Creek on 4 May 2017. That is ping-pong-ball sized, enough to bruise asphalt shingles and shorten a roof’s life without necessarily looking dramatic from the ground. Across the decade the metro recorded 9 hail reports. Reported property damage from hail, severe wind and tornado over that decade totalled $342,000; flood and winter-storm losses are counted separately and are not included.
When is the worst time of year for roof damage in Medford?
Severe-weather reports in the Medford, OR statistical area cluster in May, July, August, on the NOAA record for 2016 to 2025. Scheduling discretionary work away from that window tends to get you a better crew and a faster start, because nobody is juggling emergency callouts.
Do roofers need a licence in OR?
Oregon requires every construction contractor, including roofers, to be licensed by the Construction Contractors Board before doing any construction work for pay. A roofer may hold a residential general or a residential specialty endorsement, so check which one the firm actually has rather than assuming. Licensure requires pre-licence training and an examination for the responsible managing individual, a CCB surety bond and general liability insurance naming the Board as certificate holder. A residential specialty endorsement limits the scope of work the licensee can take on; a residential general endorsement does not carry that limit.
What should I check before hiring a roofer in Medford?
The CCB record publishes complaints, disciplinary actions and enforcement measures alongside licence status, which makes it one of the more informative state lookups in the country.
After Almeda: what Oregon’s wildfire code does and does not require?
The Almeda Drive Fire started on 8 September 2020 and burned through a greenway and the neighbourhoods beside it, from Ashland through Talent and Phoenix toward Medford. NOAA’s record lists 2,482 residential structures, 173 commercial buildings and four public buildings destroyed, three deaths and 3,200 acres, with cleanup alone estimated at $170 million. Oregon’s housing agency puts it at more than 2,500 homes. The same day the South Obenchain Fire near Butte Falls destroyed 33 more homes.
Is Medford a hard market to find a good roofer in?
Medford’s defining roof event was fire, not hail: on 8 September 2020 the Almeda Drive Fire destroyed about 2,500 homes along the Bear Creek greenway between Ashland and Medford. Oregon licenses every roofer through its Construction Contractors Board, with an exam, a bond and a public register, but its wildfire roofing standard applies only to new buildings in places that adopt it, not to a reroof. Five certified firms appear in the directory for the metro and all five serve Medford, so all five are ranked, with one adverse safety record disclosed.
