Short answer: As of October 2026, the two highest-scoring roofing contractors in the Bend, OR metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score are All Concepts Exteriors (66.7), McMurray & Sons Inc (55.2). 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 2 certified roofing contractors serving the Bend metro on a published, reproducible formula, then researched each of the top two individually to confirm its record. Bend is a designated wildfire hazard zone, and that one fact changes how a reroof works here: Oregon’s state code exempts most reroofs from a permit, but carves out structures in wildfire hazard zones, so every reroof in Bend needs a city permit, currently $330, with the final inspection sometimes done by drone. Only two manufacturer-certified firms clear our evidence floor in the metro, both licensed by Oregon’s Construction Contractors Board, so we also name five more CCB-licensed Bend roofers below. One thing worth knowing up front: Oregon’s wildfire roof standard asks for a Class B roof assembly, not Class A.
The conditions a Bend roof has to be specified for
The hail here is real but seasonal and compact. Across 2016 to 2025 Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties logged 38 hail reports, 31 of them at an inch or more and 3 at two inches, with 23 of the 38 falling in May and 10 in August. On 4 May 2017 NOAA logged two inch hail in north west Bend; on 30 May 2020 the National Weather Service described a major severe weather event by Pacific Northwest standards with two inch hail at Sisters; and on 2 July 2022 a slow moving thunderstorm dropped one to one and three quarter inch hail over Bend. Wind is less of a factor, with 15 thunderstorm wind reports in the decade, though on 9 August 2019 wind and hail removed part of a roof on the west side of Redmond.
Snow is the load that has actually collapsed roofs here. In the storm of 22 to 27 February 2019 NOAA recorded totals of 40 inches at Sisters, 33 inches in Bend, 30 at Redmond and 22 at Prineville, and noted that in Bend a few roofs collapsed under the weight of the snow. Bend does not publish a single ground snow load figure; its building safety criteria, revised on 2 September 2026, require site specific values from the ASCE hazard tool or the Oregon Design Criteria Hub, with an 18 inch frost depth and severe frost exposure. Ask any contractor proposing an overlay what load they have assumed.
Oregon licenses every construction contractor through the Construction Contractors Board under ORS 701.021, and the responsible managing individual for each licence must complete 16 hours of pre-licence training and pass the CCB exam. The bond depends on the endorsement: $25,000 for a residential general contractor and $20,000 for a residential specialty contractor under ORS 701.081, with liability insurance of $500,000 and $300,000 per occurrence respectively. Both ranked firms hold the residential general endorsement. The only exemption is for work under $1,000 that is casual, minor or inconsequential, and it never applies to anyone who advertises. A CCB complaint about work on an existing home must be filed within one year of substantial completion.
Bend’s housing is young for an American metro, with a median year built of 2001 in the city and 1998 in Deschutes County, so a large wave of first reroofs on 1990s and 2000s tract homes is arriving now, each one needing that wildfire zone permit. Renters occupy 38.3 percent of homes in the city. And Oregon has no roofing specific statute on insurance deductibles: ORS 746.045 is a general ban on rebating insurance premiums or commissions and is not written about contractors, so the protection to rely on is a written contract and the CCB complaint route.
The 2 best roofers in Bend, OR
Scored 2026-10-04. The metro mean rating used as the Bayesian prior for Bend is 4.3, across a pool of 2 certified contractors.
| Rank | Company | TRB Score | Certification | Rating (reviews) | Adjusted | In business since | Based in |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | All Concepts Exteriors | 66.7 | Master Elite | 4.7 (28) | 4.444 | 2023 | Bend, OR |

1. All Concepts Exteriors — TRB Score 66.7
All Concepts Exteriors is based in Bend, OR, in business since 2023, led by Tucker James Pies, Owner and CCB Responsible Managing Individual, Not accredited; rated A+ on the profile we read, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.
Certifications held: Master Elite (GAF), Oregon CCB licence 248878, residential general endorsement, verified active. Certification by more than one manufacturer is uncommon and requires meeting each programme’s separate standards for insurance, training and track record.

Independently corroborated:
- Licence 248878, ALL CONCEPTS ROOFING LLC, residential general and commercial general level 2 endorsements, first licensed 29 November 2023, expiring 29 November 2027, $25,000 bond and $1,000,000 liability insurance.. Oregon Construction Contractors Board
- All Concepts Roofing LLC registered 30 October 2023; assumed business name All Concepts Exteriors filed 3 March 2026 by Tucker Pies.. Oregon Secretary of State
What they actually do. Roofing, with siding, windows and decks.
Why it ranks here. The top score in the metro, on Master Elite certification and a 4.7 across 28 reviews, from a Bend firm whose legal name is All Concepts Roofing, so roofing is the core trade. Its published service area covers the whole metro.
Best fit for: A Bend reroof from a local, roofing-led firm.
What we would want clarified. It is very young: the LLC was formed in October 2023 and licensed in November 2023, so its record is under three years long and its 28 reviews are a small base. Master Elite status after under three years of licensing is unusual, and we could not confirm the tier because the manufacturer’s directory refused our requests. The name on the manufacturer’s listing, All Concepts Exteriors, is an assumed business name filed in March 2026 for the licensed entity, so search the CCB register under All Concepts Roofing LLC. We could not search CCB complaint history, which sits behind a captcha. 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) 693-1475, 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. McMurray & Sons Inc — TRB Score 55.2
McMurray & Sons Inc is based in Bend, OR, led by David Wesley McMurray II, CCB Responsible Managing Individual and President, Not accredited; A+ rating, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.
Certifications held: Master Elite (GAF), Oregon CCB licence 75780, verified active since 1991. Certification by more than one manufacturer is uncommon and requires meeting each programme’s separate standards for insurance, training and track record.

Independently corroborated:
- Licence 75780, MCMURRAY & SONS INC, residential general and commercial general level 2 endorsements, first licensed 8 August 1991, expiring 8 August 2027, with an address of record in Eureka, California.. Oregon Construction Contractors Board
- The parent company’s California licence 249538 dates from 1968.. California Contractors State License Board
What they actually do. Residential and commercial roofing.
Why it ranks here. The longest Oregon licence in the pool by three decades, held since August 1991, by a California roofing company based in Eureka with a long-standing Bend branch. It holds Master Elite certification.
Best fit for: A comparison quote from a long-licensed branch operation.
What we would want clarified. Its 3.9 rating across 25 reviews is the weakest consumer record in the pool. We tried to read the reviews behind it and could not, as the review site refused our requests, so we make no claim about what they say. It is a branch of a California company rather than a local business, and its addresses do not agree across sources, with the CCB using an Eureka post office box. The 1919 founding year appears only on the company’s own materials and BBB’s copy of them. We could not search CCB complaint history, and the certification tier is 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) 385-0695, 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.
Other CCB-licensed Bend roofers our ranking cannot see
Only two manufacturer-certified firms clear our evidence floor here. These five Bend roofers are licensed by Oregon’s Construction Contractors Board and sit in Owens Corning’s contractor network instead. They are not scored and we are not recommending them. We left out one further firm whose bond is double the statutory minimum for a reason we could not establish.
| Company | Verified credential |
|---|---|
| Northwest Quality Roofing LLC | CCB 187751, residential and commercial general endorsements, since 18 August 2009, with a $25,000 bond and $1,000,000 liability; BBB accredited since 23 May 2013 at A+; Owens Corning Preferred Contractor. |

| Greenlee Construction Incorporated | CCB 224186, residential general endorsement; Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, the network’s top tier. Its own site claims establishment in 1993, which does not match a licence of this recent a number, so ask about the firm’s history. |
31 hail reports and 15 wind reports over Bend
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 3 counties of the Bend, OR statistical area over ten years, with the dates, the stone sizes and the towns they landed on. Over that decade the metro logged 38 hail reports, 15 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and 1 tornado. The database’s property-damage fields are left blank for most of these reports, so it carries no usable loss total for this metro and we do not quote one.
The biggest hail to fall on Bend in a decade
| Date | Stone size | Reported near | County |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 May 2017 | 2.0 in | Bend | Deschutes |
| 4 May 2017 | 2.0 in | Cloverdale | Deschutes |
| 30 May 2020 | 2.0 in | Sisters | Deschutes |
| 2 July 2022 | 1.75 in | Bend | Deschutes |
| 4 May 2017 | 1.75 in | Jefferson | Jefferson |
| 4 May 2017 | 1.75 in | Madras | Jefferson |
The largest stone on record for this metro fell on 4 May 2017 near Bend, measured at 2.0 inches. That is hen-egg sized. Two inches is the threshold at which insurers expect functional damage and full replacement claims.
Wind. The strongest thunderstorm gust logged in the metro was 87 knots, about 100 mph, near Culver on 30 May 2020. Asphalt shingles begin lifting at roughly 67 mph when they are correctly nailed, and considerably below that when they are not.
Tornadoes. 1 tornado touched down in these counties over the decade, the strongest rated EF0 near Bend on 13 April 2017.
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 30 May 2020 event near Culver, reproduced verbatim:
A concentrated swath of destructive straight line winds affected the Culver and Metolius areas of Jefferson County. Within this swath there were numerous large trees uprooted and snapped, hundreds of yards of irrigation line dislodged and/or mangled, and several snapped power poles. Some of the most significant damage included destruction of a handful of agricultural out buildings and partial or total roof removals of at least two manufactured homes.
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 (28), August (18), July (4). The worst years on record were 2020 (17), 2017 (8), 2019 (8). If you are scheduling non-urgent work in Bend, 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 Bend. Weight your decision toward wind rating, ventilation and flashing detail rather than paying extra for impact-rated shingles.
Wildfire, permits and the Class B question on a Bend roof
Bend’s status as a wildfire hazard zone is not new. A city notice of 22 October 2013 already stated that Bend is located within a legally determined wildfire hazard zone, that reroofing materials shall be asphalt, slate, tile, clay or concrete shingles or metal roofing, and that untreated wood shingles were not allowed. Because Oregon’s residential code exempts most reroofs from a permit but excepts structures in wildfire hazard zones, every Bend reroof needs a city permit. That is the one inspection a Bend homeowner can count on, and at $330 it is cheap insurance.
The standard behind it is Oregon’s section R327, and here a widely repeated assumption is wrong. R327 asks for a minimum Class B rated roof assembly, not Class A: asphalt, slate, metal, tile, clay or concrete shingles or other approved roofing deemed equivalent to a Class B assembly, with untreated wood shingle and shake excluded. Most mainstream asphalt shingles exceed that, so the rule bites on material choice rather than on cost.
The statewide picture changed underneath Bend in 2025. The legislature passed SB 83, which repealed ORS 477.490, the statute that created the statewide wildfire hazard map, and the Department of Forestry began repealing the implementing rules that September. Oregon’s Building Codes Division then amended the code so that R327 is available for local adoption and applies to new construction, by temporary rule from 5 August 2025 and permanently from 1 January 2026. Where a city adopts it, replacing an existing exterior element in its entirety must meet the section.
Bend adopted R327 home hardening on 15 April 2026, effective for new residential permit applications from 15 May 2026, and states that it does not apply to additions or renovations of existing buildings. So for an existing house the binding rule remains the long-standing wildfire zone reroof requirement and its material list, enforced through the permit. The new checklist for new dwellings is still worth reading for a reroof, because its items are cheapest to adopt when the roof is off: noncombustible gutters with a leaf guard and ember resistant vents.
The fire risk behind all this is current, not historical. FEMA has issued 14 Fire Management Assistance declarations covering Deschutes, Crook or Jefferson County since 2016, including the Darlene 3 fire in June 2024, the Flat fire in August 2025, and two further fires in July 2026. In a metro where most homes are under thirty years old and reaching their first replacement now, the reroof is the natural moment to move from the minimum to something better.

What to verify before a Bend contractor starts
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 these Bend rankings were produced
Every contractor in the Bend, 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 2 certified contractors, of whom 0 hold President’s Club standing and 2 Master Elite, against a metro mean rating of 4.3. The top two 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.

When is the worst time of year for roof damage in Bend?
Severe-weather reports in the Bend, OR statistical area cluster in May, August, July, 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 Bend?
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.
