Serving East Multnomah County · Licensed OR CCB #221810 · WA #JOBINRL824MZ
Roofing Contractor in Gresham, Oregon
East county gets a harder winter than the rest of the metro. When the January 2024 storm hit, Gresham stayed locked in ice while Portland thawed — and that gap isn’t imagination. Ice loading and wind-driven limb strikes are what define roofing out here, across a housing stock that’s mostly 1960s through 1990s and largely on its second or third covering.
Jobin Roofing works Gresham and east Multnomah County regularly, fully licensed in Oregon (CCB #221810) and backed by 150+ five-star reviews. Most roofers quote Gresham like it’s generic Portland. It isn’t — and a roof spec’d for a calm neighborhood is a roof that finds out the hard way in January.

Gresham Roof Repair
Roof Repair in Gresham, Oregon
A leaking roof does not automatically mean you need a new one. We handle roof repair throughout Gresham, from isolated shingle and flashing problems to storm damage, leaking valleys, damaged ridge caps, and sections opened up by wind or falling limbs.
We find where the water is actually getting in
Roof leaks are rarely as simple as the stain on the ceiling makes them look. Water can enter around a vent, chimney, valley, flashing detail, or damaged shingle and travel along the roof deck before it ever reaches the drywall.
Our first job is to trace the problem back to its source. If the surrounding roof still has useful life left, we would rather repair the failed area than sell you a roof you do not need.
In Gresham, we pay particularly close attention to wind-exposed edges, ridge caps, gutter lines, flashing, and areas hit by branches during winter weather.

Gresham’s mix of mid-century tract homes, 1990s subdivisions, and rural properties out toward Pleasant Valley means we repair and replace across the full range of roofs in east county:
- Architectural & composite shingles. The workhorse roof on most Gresham homes. Shingle roof repair for wind-damaged and limb-struck areas, through to full replacement with a six-nail pattern and proper starter course at the rakes.
- Metal roofing. Standing-seam and metal panel roofs that shed ice instead of holding it. We handle metal roof repair — re-sealing failed fasteners and flashing — plus new installs and metal roof replacement.
- Tile roofing. Concrete and clay tile roof repair: replacing cracked or slipped tiles and repairing the underlayment beneath, which is what actually keeps the water out.
- Cedar shake. Repair and honest assessment for cedar roofs, which need careful attention where freeze-thaw cycling works at the fasteners.
- Flat & low-slope. Membrane systems for additions, shops, and commercial buildings, where standing water and open seams are the usual failure points. Flat roof repair and replacement both covered.
Wind · Ice · Falling Limbs
Emergency & Storm Roof Repair in Gresham
Gresham gets its share of wind, freezing rain, ice, and falling branches. Some storm damage is obvious. A tree comes down, shingles are missing, or water is actively entering the house. Other damage is easy to miss until the next heavy rain.
If the roof has been opened to the weather, we can protect the affected area and document what happened before the permanent repair is completed. We photograph what we find so you have a clear record of the damage and the work that is actually needed.
We also inspect roofs after major weather events when there is no obvious leak. Lifted shingles, bruised shingles, damaged ridge caps, and loose flashing can all exist without being visible from the ground.
Why east county roofs fail differently
Ice and wind don’t damage a roof the way rain and moss do. Ice loading works at the gutter runs and lifts ridge caps; wind finds the starter course and the rakes; a limb strike bruises shingles without breaking them. Almost none of that is visible from the ground. A homeowner walks the yard after a storm, sees nothing out of place, and finds out in February when a stain shows up on the drywall. On a roof that’s already on its second or third covering, the question isn’t whether the last install was competent — it’s whether it was spec’d for this microclimate or for a Portland average. That’s what we’re actually checking when we get up there.
Gresham roof conditions
Local Climate & Roofing Conditions in Gresham
Gresham sits where cold air draining west out of the Columbia Gorge meets valley moisture. That collision is why east county ices over when the rest of the metro is merely wet, and why freezing rain events here run longer and heavier than they do closer to the river.
Add wind exposure across large stretches of open suburban development, and the two forces that shape a Gresham roof are ice and uplift — not the moss and canopy debris that define roofing further west.
What ice and wind do to a roof
Ice accumulates in gutter runs faster than the fasteners were designed for. An inch of it is enough weight to pull a run off the fascia, taking trim and sometimes sheathing with it.
Wind works from the edges inward. The starter course at the rakes and the ridge cap are the first places uplift finds purchase, and once a few shingles lift, the field above them is exposed.
Limb strikes are the most common emergency call we take in Gresham. A falling branch rarely punches through — it bruises and fractures shingles, which then fail quietly over the following months.
What protects a Gresham roof
- Gutters sized and hung for ice. Heavier gauge, tighter hanger spacing, and downspout routing that clears volume fast instead of holding it.
- Fastening spec’d for uplift. Six-nail patterns, proper starter course at the rakes, and correct ridge fastening — the details that decide whether wind gets under.
- Post-storm inspection. A free check after an ice or wind event catches bruised shingles and lifted caps while they’re still cheap to fix.
- Balanced attic ventilation. Proper intake and exhaust reduces the warm-deck conditions that make ice damming at the eaves worse.

Commercial & Low-Slope
Commercial Roof Repair in Gresham
We also repair commercial and low-slope roofs in Gresham. These systems fail differently than a residential shingle roof, with leaks commonly developing around seams, penetrations, flashing, drains, and areas where water is allowed to sit.
For a leaking shop, office, multifamily building, or other low-slope roof, we start by identifying the failed detail and determining whether a focused repair is reasonable before talking about replacement.

Gresham roofing FAQs
Do you offer free roof estimates in Gresham?
Yes — all of our roofing estimates in Gresham and across east county are free. We’ll get on the roof, photograph what we find, walk you through the options, and give you honest pricing with no pressure to commit.
My roof looks fine after the last storm. Should I still get it checked?
Usually yes. Ice and limb-strike damage is often invisible from the ground — bruised shingles, a lifted ridge cap, a gutter hanger that pulled loose. A post-storm inspection is free, and it’s how you avoid finding out in February when a leak shows up in the drywall.
Do you do roof leak repair in Gresham?
Yes — roof leak repair is one of our most common east county calls, and out here leaks usually start where ice and wind did their work: the gutter line, the ridge, and the flashing. We trace the leak to its real source instead of patching the stain. If the roof is open to the weather, we’ll tarp it to stop the water while we schedule the permanent repair.
Can you repair my roof instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. We do real repairs, not just replacements. If your roof has life left in it, that’s the answer you’ll get from us — in writing, with photos of what we found.
Do you handle storm damage insurance claims?
We document damage thoroughly with photographs and a written assessment, which is what your insurer will need. We can’t file the claim on your behalf, but we’ll make sure you have the documentation to support it.
You’re based in Washington — do you serve Gresham?
Yes — we’re fully licensed in Oregon (CCB #221810) and work Gresham and east Multnomah County regularly.
