Source: Census ACS (Eugene city), 2019–2023What weather does to a Eugene roof
- Freeze-thaw days. Water gets under shingles at night and expands as ice.
- Days at 90F or hotter. Heat bakes the oils out of asphalt and loosens sealant strips.
- Days with an inch of rain. Heavy rain tests flashing, valleys and gutters.
- Yearly precipitation. More water means more years of wet decking.

Repair or replace in Eugene
The median Eugene home was built in 1979, so an original roof would be 47 years old, past the 25–30 years architectural shingles are rated for. Here a repair mostly buys time. 51.7% of Eugene homes predate 1980, so some roofs on the street are second or third generation.
| Job | Cost | Weeks of pay |
|---|---|---|
| Small repair in Eugene | $700 | 0.57 |
| Larger repair in Eugene | $3,250 | 2.6 |
| Half of a new roof (50% rule) in Eugene | $6,100 | 5.0 |
| One year of roof life in Eugene | $442 | 0.36 |
The last row prices one year of roof life in Eugene: a typical architectural roof divided by its rated 25–30 years. A repair is worth paying for when it buys at least as many years as its cost divided by that figure. The 50% rule is a common rule of thumb, not a law.
