Roofing in Gresham at a glance
Free inspection, drone-documented, with a written report and estimate emailed to you. Most Gresham re-roofs run one to three days. The city grew from under 4,000 residents in 1960 to over 65,000 by 1990, so the housing shares a construction date and the roofs reach the end of their lives together - the average Gresham-Rockwood home dates to 1978. That means yours is likely on its second or third roof, and what we find on tear-off is usually evidence of the last re-roof rather than the builder: shingles layered over rather than torn off, ventilation adequate for 1978 and not for now, and flashing reworked once without being redone properly. Gresham issues its own permits through the City, not Multnomah County.

Roofing in Gresham, OR
Roofing Gresham, OR: what the last crew left behind.
If your neighbors are all replacing roofs at once, that is not a coincidence. Gresham went from under 4,000 people in 1960 to over 65,000 by 1990, so a very large share of the housing shares a construction date, and roofs installed in the same era reach the end of their rated life in the same era.
What that means for your quote is that we are usually looking at somebody else's work rather than the original. Three things turn up repeatedly. Shingles that were roofed over rather than torn off, which means a full tear-off now and more debris than a single layer. Attic ventilation that met 1970s expectations and does not meet current ones, which is what cooked the last roof early. And flashing at the chimney or the valleys that was reworked once, quickly, and has been the actual leak path ever since.
None of that is unusual and all of it is worth knowing before you accept a number. A quote that does not mention layers or ventilation is a quote that can change once the roof is open. We state the per-sheet decking rate in writing before the tear-off starts so that if we find soft decking, it is a known cost rather than a renegotiation.
Rockwood is the older exception, with a good share of housing from 1940 to 1969. Roofs there are more likely to be on a third replacement and more likely to have original sheathing worth a proper look.

Before you hire anyone
The four things Gresham homeowners actually worry about.
Will the estimate hold, or will it change once the roof is open?
We state the per-sheet decking rate in writing before the tear-off starts, so rot found under the old roof is a known number rather than a renegotiation. On Gresham homes we tell you what we expect to find and why.
Are you actually licensed here?
Washington QUALIML786JF and Oregon CCB 243945, both bonded and insured. Look either up yourself before you sign anything - the numbers are public record, and any contractor who will not give you theirs is telling you something.
Will the manufacturer warranty actually be honored?
Manufacturer system warranties cover materials and workmanship only when a certified installer registers the job. We are CertainTeed ShingleMaster and Malarkey Emerald Pro, and we register every roof. An uncertified crew can only pass on the shingle warranty.
How long will my house be torn open?
One to three days for most single-family re-roofs. We schedule around forecasted dry days, tarp aggressively if weather turns mid-job, protect the landscaping, and run a magnetic sweep for nails before we leave.

Gresham FAQ
Roofing contractor Gresham, OR questions, answered.
Why do so many Gresham roofs need replacing at the same time?
Because the city was built at once. Gresham went from under 4,000 people in 1960 to over 65,000 by 1990, so a very large share of the housing shares a construction date, and roofs installed in the same era reach the end of their rated life in the same era. The average Gresham-Rockwood home dates to 1978, which puts it well into second or third replacement territory.
What do you usually find under a Gresham roof?
Evidence of the last re-roof more often than evidence of the builder. The three recurring findings are layered shingles that were roofed over rather than torn off, attic ventilation that met 1970s expectations and does not meet current ones, and flashing that was reworked once without being redone properly. None is unusual and all three are worth knowing about before the quote rather than after.
Is Rockwood different from the rest of Gresham?
Yes, it is older. A substantial share of Rockwood housing was built between 1940 and 1969, which is a generation ahead of Powell Valley and closer to Portland construction in practice. Roofs there are more likely to be on a third replacement and more likely to have original sheathing that needs a proper look.
Does Gresham permit through Multnomah County?
No, Gresham issues its own building permits through the City. That catches people out because Portland is in the same county and has different rules again, so a Portland reroof answer does not transfer to a Gresham address. We confirm what applies to your specific address on the first visit.
Do you do siding and windows in Gresham as well as roofing?
Yes, and on housing of this age the three often need doing within a few years of each other, because they were installed together and have weathered together. Sequencing them on one mobilization costs less than three separate projects and avoids paying twice for the same access.
Are you licensed in Oregon?
Yes, Oregon CCB 243945, alongside Washington registration QUALIML786JF. Both numbers are public record and checkable through the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and Washington L&I respectively.
