Roofing in Selma, OR
Sixty-eight percent of households in Selma heat with wood. More than two thirds, on a valley floor where no household in the survey has piped gas and only fifteen percent rely on electricity, which is the highest wood-heat share on this entire site and the single most useful fact about roofing here.
That share puts a working flue, a stovepipe or a masonry chimney on most of the roofs in this community, in constant use from October to March. Creosote, heat cycling at the collar, and a flashing detail that has been resealed by three different people over twenty years is what we actually find when we open one up.
On 13 April 2016 a spotter near Selma reported winds of forty-five to fifty-five miles an hour, branches two to three inches thick broken off, and the power out, while the Illinois Valley Fire Department logged trees down from Cave Junction through to Selma. The Illinois Valley is the wind exception to what this site says elsewhere.
Snow is a routine load rather than an event. Observers here have recorded seven inches in twenty-four hours in January 2002, seven inches in nine hours in January 2005, eight inches in twelve hours in March 2006, eight inches in 2008 and again in 2009, and eight more in both 2017 and 2018.
We will not print a median build year for Selma. The survey returns it with a margin of plus or minus twenty-nine years, which is not a measurement, it is a shrug. Ninety-eight percent of the units are owner-occupied and eighty-seven percent are single-family detached, and those figures are solid enough to work from.
Josephine County issues the permits, from Grants Pass, twenty-odd miles north. Selma has no city government at all, which means nobody local sets a fee, staffs a counter or writes an amendment. What applies here applies across the whole unincorporated county, and that is not the same set of rules that applies inside the city limits.
The Deer Creek bottom is where fog settles first in the Illinois Valley, and roof planes facing away from the sun barely dry at all in January. Along Draper Valley Road we survey on a frost morning while the melt pattern is still readable, and we start leak work with the calendar rather than the ladder.
About Selma, OR — and why local matters here
Selma sits in Josephine County with a population of roughly 661, close enough to Medford that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Deer Creek valley floor, Draper Valley Road.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Selma properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Josephine County, and a roofing contractor who works the area weekly already knows what fails locally and what holds up. That is the difference between a bid and an accurate bid.

Roofing work we do in Selma, OR
Medford Premium Roofing covers the same range of work in Selma that we do in Medford — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Asphalt Shingle Roofs — Laminated asphalt is the right covering for nearly every house in this valley, and the choice that matters is not the brand on the wrapper. It is whether you buy the same shingle for all four slopes when the four slopes are not living in the same climate.
- Metal Roofing — Steel is a genuinely good covering here and it is also the one most often installed wrong, in a way that does not show up until the first hard inversion week. The failure is not water from above.
- Tile Roofing — Concrete tile does well in this climate for eight months of the year and then meets the one condition it does not enjoy. The lower courses on a shaded slope stay saturated through a cold stretch, and saturated concrete that freezes overnight and thaws by noon spalls.
- Flat & Low-Slope Roofing — There is a default in this trade that we push back on for shaded buildings on the valley floor: white membrane everywhere, because reflectivity is always good. On a low-slope roof that sits in the pool and gets sun for four hours in January, it is not always good.
- Roof Coatings & Sealing — This page talks you out of more work than it sells. Coating is maintenance for a metal or low-slope roof that is still sound.
- Roof Ventilation — Most ventilation advice assumes the problem is a hot attic. On a valley-floor lot through the winter, the attic is a cold attic, and adding vents to a cold attic without doing anything else can make the situation you are trying to fix measurably worse.
