Roofing in Damascus, OR
On 13 June 2020 a tornado touched down in Damascus just south of Highway 212 between Southeast Tong Road and Southeast 232nd Drive. The National Weather Service survey found five trees snapped or uprooted, three vehicles crushed by a poplar, and, in its own words, no structural damage to homes, roofs, windows or outbuildings. That is the whole roofing storm history here.
We publish it because it is the single most useful thing an owner in Damascus can know. When a door-knocker tells you a tornado came through and your roof needs replacing, the record he is pointing at is a survey that specifically recorded no roof damage. Ask him for the date. Then ask him what the survey said.
Damascus voted itself out of existence in 2016 and is unincorporated Clackamas County again, which simplifies the paperwork rather than complicating it. The county handles structural, mechanical, plumbing and electrical review here, all four under one roof. Most of our incorporated towns split those between two agencies, so this is the least confusing address in the service area.
The housing tells one very clear story. Nearly 36 percent of homes in Damascus were built in the 1970s, the heaviest single-decade concentration of any town we cover, and 95 percent are single-family detached with no recorded units in buildings of three or more at all. Fifty-year-old roofs and outbuildings on large rural parcels, street after street.
That decade matters for what sits under the shingles. A 1970s deck in this county is often skip sheathing or thin plywood that has taken two roofs already, and Oregon's code will not let you go over a third. Section R907.3 requires a full strip where there are three or more applications, or where the existing roof is water soaked.
Long metal-roofed shops sit beside the houses on most of these parcels, and exposed-fastener panel is most of what we maintain out here. Gasketed screws on the windward run give up first, every time, and the correct answer is usually a re-torque and a gasket schedule rather than the coating somebody quoted you last spring.
Rain out here runs well above the airport figure everyone quotes. Estacada, on the same side of the county, normals at 58 inches a year against 36 at Portland International, and the Oregon Route 212 corridor sits between them. Scope drainage and fastener corrosion first here, and treat wind as the second argument rather than the first.
About Damascus, OR — and why local matters here
Damascus sits in Clackamas County with a population of roughly 11,050, close enough to Gresham that crews move between the two constantly. Local landmarks and corridors residents know well include the Oregon Route 212 corridor, the Southeast Sunnyside Road corridor.
Local knowledge is not a marketing line here. Damascus properties share soil, weather, permit rules and construction eras with the rest of Clackamas 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.

Our roofing scope in Damascus
Gresham Roof Pros covers the same range of work in Damascus that we do in Gresham — nothing is carved out because the address is a few miles up the road:
- Storm Damage Restoration — A gorge wind event does not look like a storm on the news. There is no rain, no thunder, often no cloud at all.
- Tile Roofing — Tile is uncommon in Gresham and we will start by saying it is usually the wrong material for a house here. Where we do work on it, it is almost always concrete tile on a home that was framed to carry the weight.
- Wind Damage Roofing — Wind damage here has a compass bearing. In most of the country the damaging wind can arrive from anywhere.
- Residential Roof Installation — This page is the roof that goes on when there is nothing to remove: new construction, an addition, a second unit, a dormer or a garage conversion, and the deck that returns to bare wood because the plywood is being replaced. Tear-off work sits on our replacement page.
- Commercial Roof Installation — Gresham's commercial roof stock is mostly low-slope: light industrial along the freight corridor, retail strips on the arterials, schools, and a good deal of tilt-up with mechanical equipment sitting on top of it. Almost none of it is shingle and a great deal of it is neglected.
- Roof Replacement — Replacing a roof in Gresham is a scheduling problem before it is a materials problem. The calendar decides how well the new roof survives its first winter, and almost nobody is told that when they collect their three bids.
