Short answer: As of September 2026, the five highest-scoring roofing contractors in the Eugene-Springfield, OR metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score are Expert Roofing Services (91.6), Pressure Point Roofing Eugene, LLC (77.5), Father & Son Roofing LLC (65.8), Grace Roofing and Construction (64.2), Roger Anderson Roofing LLC (58.5). 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 Eugene metro on a published, reproducible formula, then researched each of the top five individually to confirm its record. Eugene is the metro on this site where storms are irrelevant. Lane County logged two hail reports of an inch or more and five severe wind reports in ten years. What kills a roof here is water and what grows in it: a normal 40.83 inches of rain a year spread across 146 days of measurable precipitation, and the moss that coats Willamette Valley roofs. Oregon State University’s finding on that moss is the useful one, because the moss itself does not damage the roof; it traps soil and debris that retain water and keep the roof wet for longer. So an Eugene roof fails from staying damp, not from being hit, and the right contractor conversation here is about ventilation, moss and underlayment rather than impact ratings. Oregon also runs the most informative contractor register in the country, and every licence below is recorded with its bond and its insurer.
Why an Eugene roof fails slowly rather than suddenly
The severe-weather record barely exists. Across 2016 to 2025 Lane County logged two hail reports, both an inch or larger, five severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and no tornadoes, with $26,500 in reported property damage across the decade. There is effectively no hail season and no wind season to specify a roof against. What there is instead is rain: the National Weather Service annual climatological report for Eugene gives a normal annual precipitation of 40.83 inches, with normals of 146 days of measurable precipitation, 90 days of 0.10 inch or more, 26 days of 0.50 inch or more and 7 days of an inch or more. That is a climate of persistent wetting rather than heavy events, and it is the reason nothing on this page talks about impact-resistant shingles.
Moss is the local failure mode and it is worth understanding precisely. Oregon State University reports that the mosses colonising Pacific Northwest roofs are typically Dicranoweisia cirrata and Bryum capillare, and makes the key point that the moss does not directly damage the roof; rather it traps soil and debris, which retain water and keep the roof wet for a longer period. A roof that stays wet longer is a roof whose organic components degrade faster and whose deck is at greater risk. OSU Extension’s publication PNW 733 on wood shingle and shake roofs adds that there is no single answer to a roof’s life span, but that durability is closely related to temperature and rainfall, with wood degrading more rapidly under higher rainfall and warmer conditions. Practically, that makes moss treatment and removal, roof cleaning, ventilation and the choice of an algae-resistant product the substance of an Eugene roofing decision, and it makes maintenance a real service line rather than an upsell.
Oregon’s Construction Contractors Board is the best consumer tool of any state in this programme, and using it is the single most valuable thing an Eugene homeowner can do. The CCB licenses all construction contractors, and its own consumer guidance directs the public to the licence search where complaint history, civil penalties and disciplinary actions from the past ten years appear on the licence record. No other state register in this programme publishes that. The bond is set by endorsement: $25,000 for a Residential General Contractor, $20,000 for a Residential Specialty Contractor, $15,000 for a Residential Limited Contractor and $80,000 for a Commercial General Contractor at Level 1. Every contractor below is listed with its CCB number, its endorsement, its bond and its insurer, all taken from the CCB record. One honest limitation: the official CCB search is protected against automated access, so we could not read the complaint and discipline history ourselves for any of the five. We are telling you that rather than implying a clean record we did not see. Open search.ccb.state.or.us, type the number we have given you, and read it yourself; it takes a minute and it is the most informative minute available to you.
Two code points are worth knowing before you get quotes. The code in force is the 2023 Oregon Residential Specialty Code, based on the 2021 International Residential Code, whose administrative provisions took effect on 1 October 2023 and whose construction provisions became mandatory on 1 April 2024. Reroofing is governed by section R908, which covers replacement and recovering, and includes the provision that where existing self-adhered underlayment cannot be removed without damaging the deck and the buildup does not exceed two layers, removal is not required. That is the clause a contractor will cite when proposing to leave material in place, so it is worth asking about directly. On cost, the City of Eugene prices building permits on total construction value under the schedule effective 1 July 2026, with a minimum fee of $114.50 for work valued between $1 and $2,000, then $114.50 plus $12.30 per additional $1,000 up to $25,000. We were unable to find an explicit city statement on whether a residential reroof requires a permit, so ask the city rather than relying on a contractor’s answer. The median year built in Lane County is 1977, so most roofs here sit on decks nearly fifty years old, which is exactly the situation the underlayment clause is about.
The 5 best roofers in Eugene, OR
Scored 2026-09-29. The metro mean rating used as the Bayesian prior for Eugene is 4.76, across a pool of 5 certified contractors.
| Rank | Company | TRB Score | Certification | Rating (reviews) | Adjusted | In business since | Based in |

1. Expert Roofing Services — TRB Score 91.6
Expert Roofing Services is based in Eugene, OR, in business since 2010, led by James Lawrence Renfro, Not accredited, A+ rating on the related entity Expert Roofing and Siding LLC at the same address; one complaint closed in the last three years, and holds President’s Club standing on the GAF certification registry.
Certifications held: President’s Club (GAF), James Hardie Preferred Contractor, Lead Based Paint Renovation Contractor endorsement (on the CCB licence record). Certification by more than one manufacturer is uncommon and requires meeting each programme’s separate standards for insurance, training and track record.

Independently corroborated:
- CCB licence #203361 active since 23 June 2014 and valid through 23 June 2028, carrying Residential Specialty Contractor, Commercial Specialty Contractor Level 2 and Lead Based Paint Renovation Contractor endorsements, with a $20,000 bond and $1,000,000 liability cover, responsible managing individual James Lawrence Renfro.. Oregon Construction Contractors Board licence record
- BBB rates the related entity Expert Roofing and Siding LLC, at the same address and with the same principal, A+ though not accredited, and records one complaint closed in the last three years.. BBB business profile
What they actually do. Roof replacement, siding, window replacement, gutters and skylights across Lane, Marion, Linn and Benton counties.
Why it ranks here. The top score in Lane County on President’s Club certification and 4.8 across 174 reviews. It is the only contractor here carrying a Lead Based Paint Renovation endorsement on its CCB licence, which matters directly in a county whose median house dates from 1977 and where pre-1978 paint is common on the fascia and trim a roofer disturbs. It also holds both residential and commercial specialty endorsements and a James Hardie credential alongside GAF.
Best fit for: An older Eugene house where the roof work will disturb pre-1978 paint, and roof-with-siding jobs.
What we would want clarified. It carries the only BBB complaint recorded against any of the five, one closed in the last three years, and that BBB record sits under a related entity name, Expert Roofing and Siding LLC, rather than the trading name. Its own site claims a 2010 founding while the CCB licence dates from June 2014 and the BBB from 2009, so the three records disagree. Its site displays a GAF Master Elite badge where the registry records President’s Club, and its bond is $20,000 rather than the $25,000 a general contractor endorsement requires, reflecting the specialty endorsement it holds. 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) 607-2889, 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. Pressure Point Roofing Eugene, LLC — TRB Score 77.5
Pressure Point Roofing Eugene, LLC is based in Springfield, OR, led by Thomas James Jordan on the CCB record; the BBB lists Matthew Stone, Not accredited, A+ rating; business dated to 9 January 2017, zero complaints closed in the last three years, and holds Master Elite standing on the GAF certification registry.
Certifications held: Master Elite (GAF), Duro-Last Roofing Master Contractor, Member, Eugene Builders Exchange. Certification by more than one manufacturer is uncommon and requires meeting each programme’s separate standards for insurance, training and track record.

Independently corroborated:
- CCB licence #213322 active since 9 January 2017 and valid through 9 January 2027, with Residential General Contractor and Commercial General Contractor Level 2 endorsements, a $25,000 bond with Western Surety Company and $1,000,000 liability cover, responsible managing individual Thomas James Jordan.. Oregon Construction Contractors Board licence record
- BBB rates the company A+ though not accredited, dates the business to 9 January 2017 and records zero complaints in the last three years.. BBB business profile
- A Pressure Point Roofing company record appears in the Eugene Builders Exchange member directory.. Eugene Builders Exchange
What they actually do. Roof replacement and repair, residential roofing, and commercial and low-slope roofing from a Springfield base serving Lane and Douglas counties.
Why it ranks here. Master Elite certification with 4.8 across 113 reviews, zero BBB complaints, and the strongest low-slope credentials in the metro: it holds Duro-Last Master Contractor status and both residential and commercial general contractor endorsements with a $25,000 bond. It is also a member of the Eugene Builders Exchange, confirmed on the exchange’s own directory. For a flat porch, addition or small commercial roof in a wet climate, single-ply is often the right answer and this is the firm credentialed for it.
Best fit for: Flat and low-slope roofs, and commercial or mixed-use work.
What we would want clarified. Its history and its leadership are both unclear from public records. The site references origins in 1989 and nearly 30 years of service, while the CCB register and the BBB both date this limited liability company to January 2017, which is consistent with a re-registration of an older business but is not the same thing as 30 years of continuous licensure. Two different individuals are named as the principal across sources, Thomas James Jordan on the CCB record and Matthew Stone on the BBB. Its BBB profile is not accredited and is filed under roofing consultants rather than roofing contractors. 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) 688-7663, 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.
3. Father & Son Roofing LLC — TRB Score 65.8
Father & Son Roofing LLC is based in Eugene, OR, in business since 2016, led by Angelica Eva Mora Rivera is the CCB responsible managing individual and BBB-listed owner; the company credits founders Jose Luis Mora and his son Luis Mora, Not accredited, A+ rating; business dated to 10 January 2017, and holds Certified standing on the GAF certification registry.
Certifications held: Certified (GAF), CertainTeed ShingleMaster Certified, Duro-Last Commercial Certified Installer, Member, Eugene Builders Exchange.

Oregon Construction Contractors Board licence record
- BBB rates the company A+ though not accredited, dates the business to 10 January 2017 and lists Angelica E. Mora-Rivera as owner.. BBB business profile
- Father & Son Roofing LLC appears in the Eugene Builders Exchange member directory.. Eugene Builders Exchange
What they actually do. New construction roofing, re-roofing, roof repair, dry rot replacement, gutters, skylights and sun tunnels across Lane, Linn, Douglas and Benton counties.
Why it ranks here. The best-credentialed contractor on this page outside GAF: CertainTeed ShingleMaster and Duro-Last commercial installer, plus Eugene Builders Exchange membership, both residential and commercial general contractor endorsements and a $25,000 bond. Crucially for this climate, it is the only one of the five that lists dry rot replacement as a distinct service. In a county with 146 rain days a year and moss holding moisture against the deck, dry rot is the thing a tear-off actually finds, and a contractor who prices for it up front is less likely to surprise you mid-job.
Best fit for: A tear-off on an older Eugene house where you expect to find rot in the deck or fascia.
What we would want clarified. It holds base-tier GAF Certified status rather than Master Elite, which is why it ranks third despite the strongest non-GAF credentials here, and its 73 reviews are a moderate record. Its founding year is given as 2016 on its own site while the CCB licence and BBB record both date from January 2017. The person named as responsible on the CCB and BBB records is not one of the two founders the company’s own narrative credits, and published phone numbers differ between the CCB record and some directory listings. Its BBB profile is not accredited. We publish this because a ranking that only prints the flattering findings is an advertisement, not an assessment.

4. Grace Roofing and Construction — TRB Score 64.2
Grace Roofing and Construction is based in Eugene, OR, in business since 2011, led by Jason Robert Miller and Samantha Miller, BBB accredited since 23 January 2012, A+ rating; business dated to 1 February 2011, and holds Certified standing on the GAF certification registry.
Certifications held: Certified (GAF), Malarkey, Owens Corning, CertainTeed. Certification by more than one manufacturer is uncommon and requires meeting each programme’s separate standards for insurance, training and track record.

Independently corroborated:
- BBB accredited business since 23 January 2012 with an A+ rating, dating the business to 1 February 2011 and naming Jason R. Miller as member and Samantha A. Miller as secretary.. BBB business profile
- CCB licence #192965 active as a Residential General Contractor continuously since 1 February 2011 and valid through 1 February 2027, with a $25,000 bond, $1,000,000 liability cover and workers’ compensation through SAIF Corporation, responsible managing individual Jason Robert Miller.. Oregon Construction Contractors Board licence record
What they actually do. Roof replacement, repair and re-roofing, skylights, siding, decks, small commercial roofing and solar roofing.
Why it ranks here. The only BBB Accredited business among the five, accredited since January 2012, and licensed by the CCB continuously since February 2011, which makes it the second-longest-licensed firm here. It lists three manufacturers alongside GAF, including Malarkey, which is a Portland company whose products are widely specified in this climate, and it is the only contractor on this page offering solar roofing.
Best fit for: Homeowners who want BBB accreditation and continuous Oregon licensure, or who are considering solar at the same time as a roof.
What we would want clarified. It holds base-tier GAF Certified status, and its own site describes itself as GAF Certified Plus offering the Silver Pledge warranty where the registry records the base level, so confirm which warranty is actually on offer. Its 44 reviews are the second-thinnest record here. The BBB and the CCB publish different street addresses, in Springfield and in Eugene, and it trades under a domain that does not match its registered name, which makes it harder to search than it should be. 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) 505-0706, 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.
5. Roger Anderson Roofing LLC — TRB Score 58.5

Oregon Construction Contractors Board licence record
- BBB rates the company A+ though not accredited and dates the business to 11 August 2004, naming Roger Anderson as principal.. BBB business profile
What they actually do. Roof installation and tear-off, roof repair, and continuous aluminium 5-inch K-style gutters.
Why it ranks here. The longest continuously licensed contractor in the metro by a wide margin: CCB #161308 has been active without interruption since 21 September 2004, twenty-two years, with the same named individual responsible throughout and the licence already renewed to 2028. That is the most meaningful thing any Oregon contractor can show you. It is a small operation working Eugene, Springfield, Cottage Grove, Junction City and Veneta, and it makes its own continuous aluminium gutters, which matters more here than in most metros given how much water an Eugene roof sheds.
Best fit for: Straightforward repair and re-roof work with gutters, from an owner-run business with the longest clean licence history in the county.
What we would want clarified. Its 11 reviews at 4.6 are by far the thinnest customer record on this page, so the rating rests on very little. It publishes no manufacturer certifications at all beyond its base GAF listing and states no founding year on its own site. It is a one to ten employee business on the CCB record, so capacity is limited and scheduling may be slower than with the larger firms above. Claims elsewhere that the business dates to 1979 could not be substantiated: both the CCB and the BBB place it in 2004, and the company itself gives no date. 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) 343-0182, 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.
7 severe weather reports in a decade, and why that matters in Eugene
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 Eugene-Springfield, OR statistical area over ten years, with the dates, the stone sizes and the towns they landed on. Over that decade the metro logged 2 hail reports, 5 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports and 0 tornadoes. 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 Eugene in a decade
| Date | Stone size | Reported near | County |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9 August 2022 | 1.25 in | Willakenzie | Lane |
| 17 August 2024 | 1.0 in | Fields | Lane |
The largest stone on record for this metro fell on 9 August 2022 near Willakenzie, measured at 1.25 inches. One inch is the point at which hail starts bruising asphalt shingles, which is damage an adjuster can find even when a homeowner cannot.
Wind. The strongest thunderstorm gust logged in the metro was 57 knots, about 66 mph, near Abernethy on 4 May 2017. 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 16 January 2016 event near Eugene, reproduced verbatim:
Strong winds from a band of thunderstorms brought around 8 large trees down. Some of these trees damaged power poles or took down power lines as they fell, and resulted in power outages. A stop sign was blown down, part of a roof blew off, as well as two chicken coup roofs. Part of a chain link fence form a construction site blew onto 5th Street and blocked the southbound lanes.
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 August (2), April (1), January (1). The worst years on record were 2016 (2), 2024 (2), 2017 (1). If you are scheduling non-urgent work in Eugene, 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 Eugene. Weight your decision toward wind rating, ventilation and flashing detail rather than paying extra for impact-rated shingles.
What to verify before an Eugene 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.
The Eugene market behind this ranking
5 certified roofing contractors serve the principal cities of the Eugene-Springfield, OR statistical area, of which 1 hold the top President’s Club tier. The pool carries 415 customer reviews between them at a mean rating of 4.76. The statistical area had a 2024 population of 382,396, a change of -0.15% against the 2020 census base, per the U.S. Census Bureau Vintage 2024 estimates.
How these Eugene rankings were produced
Every contractor in the Eugene-Springfield, 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 1 hold President’s Club standing and 1 Master Elite, against a metro mean rating of 4.76. 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: September 2026. Scoring run: 2026-09-29. Corrections go to the editor and are actioned on verification.
Questions Eugene homeowners ask
Who is the best roofer in Eugene, OR?
Expert Roofing Services of Eugene, OR scores highest in the Eugene metro on The Roofing Brief Contractor Score, at 91.6 out of 100 as of September 2026. It holds President’s Club certification with a 4.8 rating across 174 reviews. Highest-scoring is not the same as best fit for your specific job, and the four companies behind it score within 33.1 points.
How many certified roofing contractors serve Eugene?
5 contractors on the GAF certification registry serve the principal cities of the Eugene-Springfield, OR statistical area as of September 2026, of which 1 hold President’s Club status.
How much damaging hail does Eugene get?
The Eugene-Springfield, OR statistical area recorded 2 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 1.25 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 Eugene in the last ten years?
The largest hailstone logged by the National Weather Service in the Eugene-Springfield, OR statistical area between 2016 and 2025 measured 1.25 inches, reported near Willakenzie on 9 August 2022. One inch is the point at which hail starts bruising asphalt shingles, which is damage an adjuster can find even when a homeowner cannot. Across the decade the metro recorded 2 hail reports. 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.
When is the worst time of year for roof damage in Eugene?
Severe-weather reports in the Eugene-Springfield, OR statistical area cluster in August, April, January, 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 Eugene?
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.
Is Eugene a hard market to find a good roofer in?
Eugene is the metro on this site where storms are irrelevant. Lane County logged two hail reports of an inch or more and five severe wind reports in ten years. What kills a roof here is water and what grows in it: a normal 40.83 inches of rain a year spread across 146 days of measurable precipitation, and the moss that coats Willamette Valley roofs. Oregon State University’s finding on that moss is the useful one, because the moss itself does not damage the roof; it traps soil and debris that retain water and keep the roof wet for longer. So an Eugene roof fails from staying damp, not from being hit, and the right contractor conversation here is about ventilation, moss and underlayment rather than impact ratings. Oregon also runs the most informative contractor register in the country, and every licence below is recorded with its bond and its insurer.
Is wind or hail the bigger risk to a roof in Eugene?
Wind, by a wide margin. The Eugene-Springfield, OR statistical area logged 5 severe thunderstorm and high wind reports against 2 hail reports of an inch or more between 2016 and 2025. Wind damage shows up at the rake, ridge and edge rather than across the field of the roof, so the fastening schedule and edge detail matter more here than the impact rating of the shingle.
