Gresham Roof Pros provides professional hail damage roof repair in Gresham, OR for residential and commercial properties across east Multnomah County. Most people who reach this page end up being advised not to file. Gresham sits in a basin that produces very little damaging hail, and the honest answer tends to disappoint people who have been told otherwise by somebody knocking on doors.
The weather service summary for Portland is blunt about it. Thunderstorms in this region are not common. The winter and spring ones are weak and produce small hail and brief gusty winds. Bruising hail needs summer heat and instability that this side of the Cascades assembles only rarely. That is a published climate statement rather than an opinion, and anybody can go and read it.
So when someone shows us a roof they were told is hail-struck, it is usually something else. Blistering from moisture trapped in manufacture. Granule loss where an upper downspout discharges onto a lower slope. Mechanical damage from a ladder, a satellite installer or a Christmas light crew. Or east wind, which looks nothing like hail once you know the pattern. Every one of those has a different fix and none of them belongs in a claim.
We still test the roof properly. A ten-by-ten test square on each slope, chalk-marked hits counted, and every mark examined for what a real bruise has: a soft spot under the granule loss, fresh mat exposure, and a random distribution that ignores traffic lanes and drip lines. Counting marks without checking what sits under them is how a roof gets condemned for weathering it was always going to do.
If the marks are genuine we document them the way an adjuster needs them documented, including the collateral evidence on soft metals. Gutter faces, vent caps, furnace flue caps and the chimney flashing all dent before a shingle bruises, and a roof with hits and untouched soft metal is a difficult claim to defend. We would rather hand an adjuster a file that survives scrutiny than one that reads well and falls apart on the roof.
If they are not genuine we say so in writing, and we price whatever the roof actually needs instead. A denied claim costs you time. A claim filed on a roof that was never struck can cost you a mark on your loss history and sometimes your renewal, in exchange for nothing at all. That is a bad trade and we are not going to help you make it.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ASTM D7158 wind class printed on the shingle wrapper, six-nail fastening inside the printed nail zone, starter strip with factory adhesive carried up the rake, hand-sealed first courses set in asphalt roof cement, externally baffled ridge vent with a weather filter, synthetic underlayment cap-nailed against wind lift — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Gresham and nearby communities including Troutdale, Fairview, Wood Village, Corbett.

Materials, equipment and how we do hail damage roof repair
The difference between hail damage roof repair that lasts and hail damage roof repair that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with ASTM D7158 wind class printed on the shingle wrapper, six-nail fastening inside the printed nail zone, starter strip with factory adhesive carried up the rake, hand-sealed first courses set in asphalt roof cement, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Gresham job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in east Multnomah County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
