What Gresham Weather Does to Your Roof
Gresham gets about 46 inches of rain a year. December alone averages close to nine inches, while July barely reaches half an inch. That long wet stretch from October to May is what ages a roof here, not the weather in any single storm.
It is also why moss is a fact of life east of Portland. Oregon State University Extension puts it plainly: in the moist Pacific Northwest, moss on roofs is inevitable. The moss itself does not eat your shingles. It traps soil and debris, holds water against the roof, and on asphalt and metal it can lift shingles far enough for water to get underneath. That is the damage you end up paying for.
Two things we tell every Gresham homeowner. First, do not pressure wash it: OSU is explicit that pressure washing damages shingles, and we have replaced roofs that were fine until somebody cleaned them. Second, cleaning alone does not fix it. If the roof stays shaded and damp, the moss comes back. Trimming what overhangs the roof changes the conditions; scrubbing does not.
Do You Need a Permit to Reroof in Gresham?
Often, no. The City of Gresham lists re-roofing among the projects that do not require a permit, “where replacement or repair of roofing does not exceed 30 percent of the required live load design capacity and the roof is not required to be fire-resistive.”
Structural work, a change of roof type, or a fire-resistive requirement changes that answer. We tell you which case you are in before the work starts, and we handle the paperwork when a permit is needed. The city’s Permit Center is at 503-618-2845 if you want to confirm it yourself.

Gresham Roofing Questions We Get Asked
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Gresham?
Usually not. Gresham lists re-roofing as a project that does not require a permit when the work does not exceed 30 percent of the required live load design capacity and the roof is not required to be fire-resistive. If your job falls outside that, we pull the permit for you.
Why does the moss keep coming back on my roof?
Because you took the moss off and left everything that grew it. OSU Extension’s advice is to change the environment rather than the surface. On most Gresham lots that means the branches shading the north slope, which is exactly where it always comes back first.
When is the best time of year to replace a roof in Gresham?
July and August, by a wide margin: under an inch of rain against nearly nine in December. We still reroof through the winter, because a house usually needs a dry day or two rather than a dry season, and Gresham gives you those in every month of the year.
What does a new roof cost in Gresham?
Square footage and pitch set the base, then it moves with how many layers have to come off and what goes back on. We measure the roof and hand you one written number that does not change afterwards. The visit is free and we do not chase you for an answer.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Roofing here is weather-dependent, so we give you a firm schedule with your written estimate rather than a guess up front. We tell you how many days your roof needs once we have measured it, and we do not open up a roof we cannot close again.
Do you do commercial roofs in Gresham?
Yes. Flat and low-slope commercial roofing, repair and full replacement, for businesses across Gresham and the east side of the Portland metro.
Are you licensed and insured?
Oregon CCB#214272 and Washington FOXRORC743JT, both current, bonded and insured, and ShingleMaster certified. Our shop is on SE Ash St in Gresham if you would rather come and look at us in person.
A Simple 3 STEP Process
STEP 1
We come out, get on the roof, and show you photos of what we found. You get a written, fixed price before anything is scheduled.
STEP 2
Our crew does the work: tear-off and haul-away where it is needed, repair where it is not. We protect the landscaping and clean the site every day.
STEP 3
When the job is done, we walk the roof with you and hand over the written warranty. Then you stop thinking about it, which is the whole point.
Our promise to you
When age or storm damage has done its work, a new roof may serve you better than another patch. We take the old roof off and install the one you choose. Our team of Gresham Roofing Contractors will make sure the new feature complements the architectural styling and color of your house structure.
Quality materials, guaranteed, and a written warranty on our workmanship.

Fox Roofing did an outstanding job on our new roof and gutters. The work crews were friendly and efficient. Chris kept us up on progress and what they were doing. I have to say, their prices beat everyone else we checked out.

This is second time (different house) we've used Fox roofing and both times we were very impressed with the work and especially with the crew on our most recent work. Professional, efficient and seemed to really enjoy their work. We couldn't be happier with the roof replacement and would and will recommend Fox Roofing to any and everyone who asks.

I Highly recommend Fox Roofing. After contacting several other companies over, all of which were awful, I came across this company. I needed a small job done on my roof that was caused by wind damage. All the other companies pushed me off or didn’t call me back. Fox Roofing not only answered all my questions, they made me feel just as important as any of their customers with big jobs. I called them, had an appraisal done in a few days and a fixed roof the next week! It was fantastic! They were on time, professional and super quick! I will definitely be having them replace my whole roof when I need that done! Thanks Fox Roofing.

The crew was amazing! They were friendly, considerate, and very hard working. When we discovered a leak in our ceiling they came over quickly, found the leak, and patched the roof until they could start their repairs. Couldn’t ask for a better company!

Fox Roofing had a great price, easy financing and got my roof completed sooner than I ever expected. Cris met with me twice to answer my questions. Sandra helped me get the paperwork in order. The materials they use are superior to what other companies use and at a better price. Local, knowledgeable, affordable, win, win, win.

We got a new roof and it’s beautiful - our house still needs to be painted but the new roof alone made it feel like an entirely new place. They were super responsive and communicative the entire process. They drove out samples of the roofing multiple times and always showed up and worked a long hard day. The whole team was super nice and great to work with. I would recommend and work with them again.

No communication, tried to hire them for a decking repair and roof repair for my rental property. They said they would show up on three different occasions and I don’t even know if they showed up once because for a whole week and a half they never provided me with a quote. They delayed my whole repair process my two weeks and now they won’t even respond to my calls. Wouldn’t use them if you need a reliable repair company.
***A whole year later they respond to my review and my renter works a stay at home job and never denied them access, all lies!(As if I don't communicate with my renters). They only called me right after I left the review, after a week of no response, and said they would give me a quote if I took down the review. Dishonest company! I obviously didn't hire them because of their lies! I would give them zero stars if i could. All excuses to cover the lies

Had a tree branch go through my roof through the ceiling and into my house. I called Fox Roofing and Construction the next morning and they were there within an hour to put a patch on it until I could deal with insurance. Skip forward, I now have a new roof that looks great. Fox Roofing and Construction was the lowest bid with the highest quality roofing products, their workers were professional, courteous and did a great job! Highly recommend.

Christian, Sandra, and others were great! I got an honest professional opinion on the condition of my roof and a fair proposal. I went ahead with a roof replacement and they did an excellent job and paid a lot of attention to detail. Great work at a fair price. I would definitely work with them again!

Our chimney repair contractor discovered extensive water damage to our roof (due to bad flashing) which needed repaired before chimney could be completed. He recommended Fox Roofing and Repair. I contacted Fox, and explained my situation. They sent a crew out the very next morning and immediately went to work. They had repairs completed (replaced plywood, weather sheeting, shingles, and flashing) in less than 3 hours). Super reasonable price on extremely short notice. They were awesome and we couldn’t have been happier. Highly recommend.

My wife and I have got 3 quotes for a roof replacement. 2 were close to the same bid and one was twice the bid amount. We then did comparisons for cost, quality of materials and quality of work performed. FOX Roofing and Construction gave the best results in all categories. During our replacement there were two workers, Jaime and Javier, who did an excellent job completing the whole replacement. They were also very friendly and knowledgeable and did not take any shortcuts. Because of their professional abilities my wife and I have a strong feeling and peace of mind that FOX Roofing and Construction was the best decision we made and highly recommend them for any job needed.

From the first response, they handle the business really well, they will be my company to use for my next projects with my chimney business.

I want to thank Fox Roofing for helping me learn about the process of roof repair. I contacted Fox to help me with a repair. Cris was so professional and informative in explaining the process of my repair. But more importantly he helped me understand about warranties and workmanship that lead me to the original installer. Even though Fox didn’t do the repair it was their knowledge that helped me understand the process, locate the original installer and have the repair done at no cost to me. Thank you for all your help.

My neighbor referred Fox Roofing to me. After canvassing three roofing companies, I went with them, since they gave me the best quote.
I’m very pleased with the work they’ve done. Highly recommend them for your roofing project!

Fox Roofing and Construction did a fantastic job on my roof job!! They were very competitive in their pricing and very detailed in their work. They even had to hand load 265 bundles onto the roof because of the steepness of the road. They squeezed me in to their busy schedule and finished in a couple of days. Always answered all my questions and were prompt in their response.I would definitely refer them to my family and friends!!!

Fox Roofing did a fantastic job on our new roof. The team protected around the base of our house well and did a thorough clean up each day when they were done. I would recommend Fox Roofing to anyone looking to replace their roof.

I highly recommend Fox Roofing and Construction/Gresham, OR Team did an excellent job replacing the roof on our house. (Not to be confused with "Fox Roofing" in Vancouver.) They were speedy to look at my roof and share a quote. They were professional, responsive, experienced, knowledgeable and honest. An unexpected bonus - the jobsite was cleaned at the end of each day. Hard working crew that produced quality work. Thanks to Fox Roofing ~ our home has improved in value and curb appeal.
