Gresham Roof Pros provides professional roof inspections in Gresham, OR for residential and commercial properties across east Multnomah County. The useful roof inspection in Gresham happens in October, before the first hard east wind, and it is ordered by exposure rather than by convenience. An April inspection tells you what survived. An October one tells you what will. We start booking them in late September.
We start on the east-facing slopes and the east rake, because that is where the load lands. Sealant bond gets tested by hand on the first courses. Ridge cap gets lifted at the east end. Fasteners get checked for back-out. Whatever is already loose in October will be somewhere in your neighbor's yard by February. A tab you can lift with two fingers in autumn is a tab the gorge will lift for you in January.
Then the penetrations, in order of how often they fail: pipe boots, chimney counterflashing, skylight head flashing, sidewall step flashing, and any abandoned mount left behind by a satellite dish or an old antenna. Every one of those leaks under wind-driven rain long before it leaks under a normal winter shower. Boots are the most common single failure we write up and the cheapest item on the list to put right.
Attic time is not optional and it is where the real information is. From underneath you can read nail shiners, damp sheathing, daylight at the ridge, intake blocked by insulation at the eave, and the dark staining that says this attic has been pressurized and emptied by wind through a gable louver for years. A roof can look immaculate from a ladder and tell a completely different story from underneath.
Gutters and the whole drainage path get walked as well, because nearly all of the region's rain falls between the middle of October and the middle of May. A gutter that overflows in November is a fascia problem by March and a soffit problem the winter after that. We check the fall of every run with a level rather than guessing at it from the ground.
What lands in your inbox is a photographed condition note for each slope, a defect list in priority order, and a straight number for remaining life. A sound roof gets reported as sound, with no proposal clipped behind it. Being the firm you ring in four years beats being the one that sold you something last October. That is the whole point of doing this in October instead of in February.
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 roof inspections
The difference between roof inspections that lasts and roof inspections 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.

- ✓Cold-season installs get their rake and ridge courses hand-sealed instead of left to a sealant strip that will not bond until spring.
- ✓We will tell you in writing when a hail claim is not a hail claim, before you file it and put it on your loss history.
