Gresham Roof Pros provides professional wind damage roof repair in Gresham, OR for residential and commercial properties across east Multnomah County. Wind damage here has a compass bearing. In most of the country the damaging wind can arrive from anywhere. In east Multnomah County the one that takes roofs apart comes down the gorge from due east, in winter. That single fact organizes the rest of this page.
Structurally that is a gift. A load that always arrives on one bearing can be defended on one elevation instead of four. It also means the failures repeat: the same east rake, the same east end of the ridge, the same windward gable, on house after house down the same street in the same hour. We have quoted four houses on one block in a morning and written very nearly the same scope four times.
Uplift starts at an edge. Air separates at the rake and at the eave, pressure drops across the first courses, and if the sealant on those courses never bonded the shingle levers up on its nails. Once a course opens the next one is exposed, and the peel runs across the slope until it reaches something that holds. It rarely stops on its own before it reaches the ridge.
So the repair is more than replacing what blew off. We reset the starter course, run starter strip with factory adhesive up the rake as well as along the eave, go to six nails per shingle inside the printed nail zone, and hand-seal the first two courses when the deck is too cold for the strip to bond. Nothing there is exotic, and all of it is cheap while a crew is already on the roof.
On taller and steeper houses the ridge gets looked at separately. Ridge cap is the most exposed material on the building and the cheapest thing on it to upgrade, and a high-profile cap fastened with longer nails through both laps is worth doing before anything has failed. It is the best value upgrade on a Gresham roof and it takes about an hour.
Materials matter less than fastening here, though they are not nothing. Shingles carry a published wind class under ASTM D3161 or ASTM D7158, and that class only holds if the shingle went down exactly the way the wrapper says. A high-rated shingle fastened with four nails is a low-rated shingle wearing a better label. Read the wrapper, then read the scope you were handed, and see whether the two agree.
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 wind damage roof repair
The difference between wind damage roof repair that lasts and wind 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.
