Medford Premium Roofing provides professional gutters & downspouts in Medford, OR for residential and commercial properties across southern Oregon's interior valleys. A gutter here does two jobs. Most of the year it moves water. In the cold months it also carries weight, because a trough that filled during the afternoon can be a solid bar of ice by seven the next morning and stay that way for days.
Ice is heavy. A five-inch trough holding a frozen slug weighs several times what it was hung to carry, and the failure is always at the fixing rather than at the trough. Spikes back out of the fascia. Screws in a soft, wet board pull through. The run drops at one end, then holds water permanently, and the fascia behind it starts to go.
So we hang for the load rather than for the water. Concealed hangers set at sixteen inches, each with a screw long enough to reach solid rafter tail, rather than the thirty-inch spacing that is common and perfectly adequate almost everywhere else. Stainless or coated fixings, into sound wood. If the fascia is soft we say so and price the board with it, because hanging new metal on rotten timber is simply a repeat visit.
We are also going to talk you out of heat cable in most cases. It is an appliance on your roof drawing power all winter, it does not stop water refreezing past the end of the run, and it hides the real problem, which is nearly always a warm attic melting a plane from underneath. Fix that and the ice mostly goes away.
Where the water goes matters more than most quotes admit. A leader discharging at the footing on ground that is already saturated and frozen at the surface does not soak away, it stands and then finds the crawlspace. We run solid pipe out to daylight or to a dry well set well clear of the building, and on a sloping lot we will point out where it ends up.
Gutter guards get a lukewarm answer here, and the reasoning is worth having. Under fir, needles pass through most screens and settle in the trough anyway. Under oak, the litter mats on top of the screen and you end up cleaning the mat instead of the gutter. Two cleanouts a year, before the wet season and again in late winter, works better and costs less than any product on the market.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — a shaded-plane survey walked once the frost has released, vapor-permeable synthetic underlayment chosen so a cold deck can dry upward, anti-condensation fleece bonded to the underside of a steel panel, counter-battens run vertically to give a metal roof a drying cavity, ceiling-plane air sealing completed before a single vent is cut, copper-bearing granules specified only on the slopes that never see sun — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Medford and nearby communities including Grants Pass, Roseburg, Sutherlin, Green.

Materials, equipment and how we do gutters & downspouts
The difference between gutters & downspouts that lasts and gutters & downspouts that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with a shaded-plane survey walked once the frost has released, vapor-permeable synthetic underlayment chosen so a cold deck can dry upward, anti-condensation fleece bonded to the underside of a steel panel, counter-battens run vertically to give a metal roof a drying cavity, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Medford job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in southern Oregon's interior valleys means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Medford Chooses Medford Premium Roofing
- ✓We grade every plane on your roof separately and give each one a service life in years, because on a valley-floor lot they are rarely within five years of each other
- ✓We survey on frost mornings, when the melt pattern on your roof shows exactly where heat is leaving the ceiling below, and we photograph it before we touch anything
- ✓We will decline the high-wind upgrade on a house sitting in the bottom of a basin where stagnation advisories get issued, and put the money into eave detailing instead
- ✓We diagnose winter drips by the calendar first, and when the answer is attic frost rather than a leak we quote air sealing and turn down the roofing work
