Oregon's oldest city has some of its most interesting exterior work.
Gladstone is compact, historic, and packed with character — a small city of about 12,000 people tucked between Oregon City and Milwaukie where the Clackamas River meets the Willamette. The housing here is genuinely old by Oregon standards, with a significant number of homes dating to the 1920s, 30s, and 40s that have seen multiple owners, multiple paint jobs, and layers of deferred exterior maintenance.
What makes Gladstone work interesting is the terrain. This is not a flat city. Spring Valley, Holcomb Heights, and the streets off Portland Avenue roll up and down with mature Douglas firs shading lots in ways that create micro-climates — shaded north-facing siding stays damp longer, fence posts on slopes need different footing calculations, and decks on hillside lots require engineered designs that flat-lot builds don't.
We've built decks on Gladstone hillside lots that needed cantilevered framing to account for the grade change. We've replaced siding on 1930s cottages where the original wood had been painted over so many times that stripping wasn't viable — full replacement with fiber cement was the right call. We know how to read these older properties and give honest assessments.
Gladstone's river proximity also means persistent humidity during fall and winter — the Clackamas River corridor catches moisture that doesn't affect drier inland communities at the same elevation. We factor that into every material recommendation we make for Gladstone homeowners.

FAQ
Questions about exterior work in Gladstone, OR.
Yes — Gladstone is an incorporated city with its own permit process through the City of Gladstone. Decks over 30 inches above grade require a building permit. Fence permits depend on height and location. We handle all City of Gladstone permit applications and inspection scheduling as part of every project — it's included in your written estimate, no surprises.
Yes — hillside deck builds are something we do regularly in Gladstone and nearby Oregon City. Sloped lots require deeper footings, taller posts, and in some cases cantilevered framing to level the deck surface. We assess the grade during the estimate, design the structure to match your specific terrain, and pull the appropriate permits for the design. You'll get a deck that's engineered for your lot, not a generic plan shoehorned into it.
Not at all — older homes are some of our most satisfying projects. A 1940s Gladstone home with solid framing and good bones is absolutely worth investing in. We'll assess what's structurally sound and what needs attention, give you an honest picture at the free estimate, and recommend upgrades that make sense for the property's age and value. We don't oversell replacement on things that can be repaired.
Yes, meaningfully. Properties near the Clackamas and Willamette corridors experience higher ambient humidity, especially in fall and winter. This accelerates degradation of wood siding, wood window frames, and pressure-treated lumber. For Gladstone properties we generally recommend fiber cement siding (specifically James Hardie, which is rated for high-moisture environments), double-pane vinyl windows, and composite decking. We'll give you specific recommendations based on your property's exposure at the estimate.
