Deck Building in Gresham, OR — Pacific Northwest Quality for East County Homes

Gresham is Multnomah County’s second-largest city, located at the eastern edge of the Portland metro along the Sandy River basin. The community is known for its strong neighborhood character, working-class roots, and proximity to the Columbia River Gorge and Mount Hood — one of the most dramatic natural backdrops in the Pacific Northwest.

Homes in Gresham range from mid-century ranch houses in the west side of town to newer construction in the Rockwood, Pleasant Valley, and Centennial neighborhoods. Many properties have generous lot sizes compared to inner Portland, giving homeowners real opportunity to build meaningful outdoor living spaces. LGC Remodeling helps Gresham homeowners take advantage of that space with well-built, properly permitted decks.

Why Gresham Homeowners Choose LGC Remodeling

LGC Remodeling has been building decks across the east Portland metro area including Gresham, Troutdale, Wood Village, and Fairview. We understand Multnomah County’s permitting process, the soil conditions common in Gresham’s river basin neighborhoods, and the weather patterns that affect deck durability here — including the wet winters and the occasional ice and snow events that Gresham experiences more often than inner Portland due to its elevation and Gorge exposure.

Every project is run by Larry, the owner, who is directly involved in design, material selection, and construction. Gresham homeowners who have hired large regional contractors often tell us the same story: a sales rep came out, a crew showed up without the owner, and the finished product didn’t match what was discussed. LGC operates differently — direct, accountable, and personally invested in every project.

Deck Materials That Work in Gresham’s Climate

Gresham receives similar rainfall to Portland but faces additional weather stress from its Gorge exposure — east winds in winter bring cold, dry air that can cause thermal cracking in wood, and ice events occur more frequently here than in inner Portland. Material choices need to account for both moisture and temperature swings.

• Trex Composite — The best choice for Gresham’s climate variation. Handles freeze-thaw cycles without cracking, resists Gorge wind moisture, and maintains appearance through hot dry summers. Zero maintenance beyond occasional cleaning.
• Western Red Cedar — Works well when properly maintained. Cedar’s natural oils help it handle temperature changes, but annual sealing is critical in Gresham’s climate to prevent moisture absorption during the wet season.
• Pressure-Treated Lumber — Affordable and widely used in Gresham. Good for framing, and usable for decking surfaces with regular maintenance and sealing.

Deck Permits in Gresham, OR

Deck permits in Gresham are handled through the City of Gresham Development Services Division. Most attached decks, elevated decks, and decks over 200 square feet require a permit. Permit requirements follow the Oregon Residential Specialty Code. LGC Remodeling prepares all documentation, submits applications, coordinates inspections, and handles any code questions that arise during the process.
