Structures built to last generations. Homes designed for energy independence. Exteriors engineered to never be the reason something fails.
Stumpfire was founded to deliver genuine value to families and businesses across our region. With over 20 years of hands-on construction management experience, we saw the need for a more unified, thoughtful approach to building — one that combines proven craftsmanship with responsible, forward-looking construction practices.
We build with longevity at the center of every decision. Sustainable materials, sound envelope systems, and energy-independent design aren't upsells — they're the standard. Our time at Solterra deepened our conviction: a well-built home should generate its own power, reduce its footprint, and stand strong for the next hundred years.
We build structures meant to outlast us — chosen materials, proven systems, no shortcuts.
Green isn't a feature. It's how responsible builders have always worked.
Every home we touch is an opportunity to reduce grid dependence and future utility costs.
Roofs and exteriors are where buildings win or lose. We treat them accordingly.
"Most buildings fail from the outside in. We obsess over roofing, siding, and the building envelope because that's where durability is either earned or lost — long before anyone notices."— Stumpfire Founder, McMinnville OR
Every Stumpfire project starts with one question: will this still be standing — and working — in 100 years? From sustainable material selection to energy-independent systems, we build structures that earn their place on the land they occupy.
Comprehensive planning, budgeting, and feasibility — including sustainable material strategy and longevity analysis — before a single nail is driven. The decisions made here determine whether a building lasts 30 years or 130.
Longevity · SustainabilityEnergy-sovereign homes at a fair price — not a luxury premium. Every custom home we build is designed for independence from the grid, built from materials chosen for longevity, and priced for the families who will actually live in them.
Energy Sovereignty · Fair PriceDurable, resource-efficient structures built for businesses and organizations that want lasting value — not just the lowest bid. We design for operational efficiency, reduced overhead, and minimal long-term maintenance.
Longevity · Low OverheadThe roof is the first line of defense — and the most common reason structures fail prematurely. We install high-performance systems engineered for the Pacific Northwest's rain, wind, and temperature swings, with materials selected for 50-year manufacturer-backed warranty options.
RoofingWhen a building's envelope fails, everything inside follows. We specify and install siding systems that seal, breathe, and insulate correctly — protecting structural integrity while dramatically improving thermal performance and reducing energy demand for decades.
ExteriorsA well-built structure still needs a partner. Our maintenance programs are designed around the systems we install — proactive care that catches small issues before they become structural ones, and keeps your energy systems running at peak performance.
OngoingAdvanced systems for energy independence and resilience — solar, storage, backup, and smart integration — designed so your home or business operates on your terms, regardless of external grid conditions. In an era when reliable power can no longer be taken for granted, this is where Stumpfire's expertise truly sets us apart.
The vast majority of structural failures — rot, mold, water intrusion, insulation breakdown, and premature deterioration — trace back to one root cause: a compromised building envelope. Roofing. Siding. Flashing. Drainage planes. These are the trades most often rushed, most often value-engineered, and most often responsible when a building fails well before its time.
This is why Stumpfire operates dedicated roofing and exteriors divisions — not as add-ons to a contracting business, but as specialized crafts in their own right. When we build a home, we control the envelope. When we don't build it, we'll still fix it — correctly, completely, and built to last.
All three divisions operate under one licensed operating company: Stumpfire Construction LLC, Oregon CCB #263177. General contracting runs under that license directly, and Stumpfire Roofing and Stumpfire Exteriors operate as DBAs of the same company — held to the same standard of longevity, sustainability, and client partnership, with each craft treated as a specialty rather than a sideline.
Full-service construction management for custom homes and small commercial projects. Every build guided by longevity-first principles and sustainable material selection.
Specialized roofing systems installed as a dedicated craft — not a subcontracted afterthought. The roof is the structure's first defense, and we treat it that way.
Siding, cladding, and building envelope systems installed with precision. When the exterior is right, everything inside lasts longer — including your energy systems.
Stumpfire is based at 1271 NE Hwy 99 W, Unit 147, McMinnville, OR 97128 — and serves the greater region within approximately one hour in any direction.
