Benson and Sons Roofing

Jon Purvis owns and operates Benson and Sons Roofing out of Mount Shasta, bringing over 40 years of combined experience to residential and commercial projects throughout Siskiyou County. The company maintains DIR registration for commercial work and partners with major manufacturers including CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Metal Sales, Taylor Metal Products, and Malarkey Roofing for material supply. Siskiyou County presents roofing conditions unlike anywhere else in California. Mount Shasta itself sits at 3,500 feet elevation, with surrounding communities reaching higher. Snow loads during winter require structural assessment and appropriate material selection. Fire risk intensifies during dry season, demanding Class A rated assemblies in many areas. Summer brings moderate temperatures compared to the valleys below, but UV exposure at elevation accelerates material degradation. The swing between winter wet and summer dry creates thermal cycling that stresses every connection. Services cover the full range of systems appropriate for mountain communities. Composition and asphalt shingle installations serve standard residential needs. Metal roofing provides durability and fire resistance for properties where those attributes matter most. Flat roof systems using TPO, PVC, and self-adhered granulated membranes address commercial and low-slope residential applications. Specialty materials including slate, cedar shakes, and concrete tile serve homeowners wanting specific aesthetics or historic accuracy. Real estate inspections and certifications support property transactions throughout the county. The operation runs lean and local, with crews familiar to repeat customers and accountable to the community. Customer reviews consistently cite professionalism, transparency, and workmanship quality. Most business comes from referrals, the natural result of doing good work in a region where everyone knows their neighbors.
