Roofing in Salem, Oregon & the Willamette Valley

Roofs in this part of Oregon work hard from October through May. We install, repair and replace shingle and metal roofs so the water goes where it should.

Crew installing shingle roofing on a single-story home in Gervais, OR

The Willamette Valley collects roughly 40 inches of rain a year, and most of it arrives between fall and late spring. That is a long season of standing moisture on a roof, and it is why shaded slopes under Douglas fir and oak so often grow moss, hold debris and wear out ahead of schedule.

Most houses around Gervais, Salem and Woodburn wear asphalt shingles, while shops, barns and an increasing number of homes carry metal. Frank General Contractor installs both. Our crews have re-framed and re-roofed single-story ranch homes and have worked metal roofing on farm-style outbuildings, so the decking, ventilation and flashing details are familiar territory.

Pick the service that matches where you are: a leak you need found, a roof near the end of its life, or a new roof for an addition. If you are not sure, call and describe what you are seeing and we will tell you which direction makes sense.

Why Oregon homeowners choose us for roofing

Shingle and metal under one roof

You do not have to hire two companies to compare materials. We will talk through cost, lifespan and look for each option on your specific house.

We look under the surface

Soft or stained sheathing gets replaced instead of covered. A roof is only as sound as the deck, rafters and trusses holding it up.

Rain-first detailing

Valleys, chimney and wall flashing, and ventilation are where leaks usually start in a wet climate, so that is where we slow down.

Roofing questions, answered

Should I choose shingle or metal for a Willamette Valley home?
Asphalt shingles cost less up front and suit most houses. Metal costs more but sheds rain, moss and debris well and tends to last longer, which makes sense for a home you plan to keep. We will compare both for your roof pitch, budget and the look you want.
How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement?
A few isolated leaks or missing shingles on an otherwise solid roof are usually repair territory. Widespread granule loss, curling shingles, soft decking or repeated leaks in different spots point toward replacement. An in-person look settles it.
Do you work on barns, shops and outbuildings?
Yes. Metal roofing on farm-style buildings is part of the work we do, and the same installation principles apply: solid framing, correct fasteners and sealed edges.
Does re-roofing need a permit in Oregon?
Permit rules depend on your city or county and on how much structure the job touches. We check with your local building department before work starts so you are not surprised later.
When is the best time of year to replace a roof here?
Late spring through early fall gives the most dry days, so it is the busiest window. Active leaks should not wait for it. We can make a roof watertight in the wet season and schedule the full replacement for drier weather.
