What You Get Today: Fast Service, Lasting Results

Choosing a full roof installation is a significant investment in your property’s future and value. You are not just purchasing shingles; you are purchasing a fully integrated weather-proofing system. A modern roof installation involves multiple layers of protection working in unison to shed water, ventilate heat, and resist wind uplift. When you authorize a new installation, you receive a complete overhaul of your home’s primary defense system.

This service includes the complete removal of old materials down to the decking. We do not believe in layovers, as they mask underlying rot and void most manufacturer warranties. By stripping the roof, we can inspect the plywood sheathing for water damage, delamination, or mold growth. Any compromised decking is replaced to ensure the new shingles have a solid nailing surface.

Included in your installation is the application of high-grade synthetic underlayment, which performs significantly better than traditional felt paper. We also install ice and water shields in vulnerable valleys and eaves to prevent water damming—a common issue during Oregon's wet season. The scope of work also covers the installation of new drip edge flashing to guide water into gutters, as well as new pipe boots and ventilation systems. You get a cohesive, watertight barrier delivered on a timeline that respects your schedule. Most residential installations in the Medford area are completed efficiently, minimizing disruption to your daily life while maximizing job site safety.

How Installation Works: From Inspection to Installation

Understanding the logistics of a roof replacement helps eliminate uncertainty. We utilize a systematic approach to ensure every aspect of the project is handled with precision. There is no guesswork involved; every step follows a proven protocol designed for quality and safety.

• Site Preparation and Protection: The process begins with securing the perimeter of your home. Tarps and plywood are used to protect your landscaping, siding, and driveway from falling debris. A dump trailer is positioned strategically to accept old shingles immediately, keeping the yard clean throughout the project.
• Tear-Off and Deck Inspection: The crew removes all existing roofing material, including shingles, old felt, and flashing. This reveals the roof deck. We meticulously inspect the wood structure. If any rot or soft spots are detected, those sheets of plywood are removed and replaced with new CDX plywood or OSB to meet code requirements.
• Underlayment and Water Shield Application: Once the deck is clean and nailed down, we install the drip edge along the eaves. This is followed by a self-adhering ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves. This rubberized membrane seals around nails and prevents leaks caused by wind-driven rain. High-performance synthetic underlayment is then rolled out over the remaining deck surface.
• Starter Strip and Shingle Installation: A dedicated starter strip is installed at the eaves and rakes. This crucial component seals the first row of shingles to the roof and prevents wind uplift. The field shingles are then nailed in place using a specific pattern dictated by the manufacturer’s warranty requirements. This precise nailing is essential for wind resistance.
• Flashing and Ventilation: We install new step flashing where the roof meets walls and chimneys, ensuring a watertight seal. Plumbing vents are fitted with new rubber boots. Finally, the ridge vent is cut and installed to ensure proper attic airflow, which is critical for regulating temperature and preventing moisture buildup inside the attic.
• Final Cleanup and Magnet Sweep: The job is not done until the site is pristine. We use high-powered magnets to sweep the entire property for stray nails. Gutters are cleaned out, and all debris is hauled away. A final walkthrough is conducted to verify the installation meets our rigorous quality standards.

Deciding Between Roof Repair and Replacement

Homeowners often struggle to determine whether a repair will suffice or if a full replacement is necessary. While repairs can extend the life of a roof in specific scenarios, there is a tipping point where patching becomes financially wasteful. Understanding when to stop repairing and start replacing is key to managing your home maintenance budget effectively.

If your roof is over 20 years old, the chemical composition of the asphalt shingles has likely degraded. Granule loss, which exposes the fiberglass mat to UV rays, accelerates failure. If you are finding granules in your gutters or noticing bald spots on the shingles, the waterproofing capability is compromised. In this stage, a repair is only a temporary bandage on a systemic failure.

Widespread curling or cupping shingles indicate that the material has dried out and shrunk. This distortion breaks the seal between shingles, allowing wind-driven rain to enter. If more than 30% of the roof plane is showing signs of wear or damage, a total replacement is often more cost-effective than piecemeal repairs. Additionally, if you have experienced multiple leaks in different areas, it signals that the underlayment has failed.

Pressure Point Roofing recommends replacement when the cost of repairs approaches the cost of a new roof installation over a 3-5 year period. A new roof also improves energy efficiency and resets the warranty clock, providing peace of mind that a patch job cannot offer. If the roof deck is sagging, this is a non-negotiable sign of structural issues that require an immediate tear-off and replacement to ensure the safety of the occupants.

Adhering to Medford's Building Codes and Climate Needs

Local knowledge is a critical factor in successful roofing. Medford presents a unique set of challenges due to its specific microclimate. The roof must be able to handle the transition from damp, freezing winters to intense summer heat. Materials that work in milder climates often fail prematurely here due to thermal shock—the rapid expansion and contraction of materials.

• Ventilation Requirements: Local building codes in the Medford area mandate specific ventilation calculations. Proper intake (soffit) and exhaust (ridge) ventilation are required to prevent heat buildup in the summer, which can bake shingles from the inside out. In the winter, this same ventilation prevents condensation that leads to mold and rot in the attic space.
• Wind and Rain Resistance: While Medford is not a hurricane zone, wind gusts can be significant. We ensure that the nailing patterns used meet or exceed the wind uplift resistance required by local code. Furthermore, the valleys—high-flow water areas—require specific flashing techniques to handle the volume of water seen during peak rainy months.
• Permitting and Inspections: Roofing is a permitted activity in our region. Professional installation requires pulling the correct permits from the city or county. This ensures that the work is inspected by a third-party official and meets all safety and structural standards. Unpermitted work can lead to fines and complications when selling the home. We handle all permit acquisition and coordination with local inspectors, ensuring the project is fully compliant with state and local regulations.
