Wheel Stop Installation in Gresham, Oregon: Cojo's 2026 Service Guide

Gresham wheel-stop work splits roughly 60-40 between retail strip centers and multi-family or HOA condo associations, with a smaller share going to school and church lots. Each segment has a different anchor preference, a different aesthetic constraint, and a different budget posture. Cojo handles all three with one crew, reinforced-concrete and recycled-rubber units, and same-week scheduling on most replacement jobs.

What makes Gresham a steady wheel-stop market?

Gresham's east-Multnomah County retail strip-mall stock was largely built between the late 1980s and early 2000s, and the original wheel stops are at end-of-life. Multi-family construction along the Springwater Corridor and the Rockwood-Gresham revitalization zone brings new install demand on top of replacement work. Federal ADA compliance (ada.gov, 2010 ADA Standards Section 502) requires accessible stall geometry to be preserved through the life of the lot, which is why we see most Gresham property managers replacing wheel stops on a fixed maintenance cycle rather than only when something breaks.

Which Gresham neighborhoods does Cojo cover?

The full Gresham service area, with the highest project density in:

• Downtown Gresham — older retail strips, mixed-use, MAX-station retail
• Rockwood — community shopping centers, multi-family, revitalization properties
• Centennial and Powellhurst-Gilbert — retail along Powell Boulevard, multi-family
• North Gresham (Wood Village and Fairview border) — big-box retail, fleet yards
• South Gresham (Pleasant Valley) — newer multi-family, HOA condo associations
• Boring and Damascus extended-service area — small commercial, schools, churches

If your address is inside the City of Gresham, the Wood Village or Fairview borders, or the Boring-Damascus extended-service area, the same crew covers you.

Which wheel-stop materials work in Gresham?

Material	Lifespan	Best for
Reinforced concrete (6x6x72)	20 to 30 years	Retail, ADA stalls, school lots
Recycled rubber durometer 70	12 to 15 years	HOA, multi-family, LEED-targeted projects
Plastic	5 to 8 years	Temporary striping, low-priority lots

Multi-family and HOA boards in Gresham increasingly request recycled rubber for the post-consumer-tire content, the lower freight cost on bulk orders, and the integral ADA-friendly ramp profile that lets the unit double as a wheel-stop and a low-rise transition.

How does Cojo anchor wheel stops on Gresham parking lots?

Substrate dictates anchor:

• Asphalt substrate (most Gresham lots) — 18-inch galvanized steel spike with surface sleeve. We use Pl Premium adhesive backup on units in heavy bumper-contact zones.
• Concrete substrate (newer Pleasant Valley lots and some MAX-station retail) — 5/8-inch rebar pin in a hammer-drilled hole with two-part epoxy. Twenty-four hour cure at 50 degrees F.
• Asphalt over concrete (older downtown Gresham) — core through asphalt to the concrete below, set rebar pin, patch the asphalt around the unit.

OSHA's general industry walking-working surfaces standard (OSHA 1910.22) requires fixed barriers in parking environments to handle their specified loads through their service life. A walking wheel stop is a problem you fix once or every spring.

What are Gresham's local code requirements for wheel stops?

Gresham follows Multnomah County and ODOT roadway standards for off-street parking:

• Gresham Municipal Code Article 9.0500 (development code, off-street parking) — accessible-stall provisions follow the Oregon Structural Specialty Code, which adopts federal ADA Standards by reference.
• ODOT roadway design specs — required where the lot interfaces with a state-controlled right-of-way like Powell Boulevard or Burnside (oregon.gov/odot/engineering).
• Federal ADA Standards Section 502.3 — access aisle geometry that wheel-stop placement must respect (access-board.gov).

Gresham building permits are pulled through the Department of Urban Design and Planning when wheel-stop layouts trigger an ADA-stall reconfiguration. Replacement-in-kind work does not require a permit.

How much does wheel stop installation cost in Gresham?

Industry Baseline Range

Scope	Per-unit installed
Single rubber wheel stop, asphalt anchor	$80 to $160
Single concrete wheel stop, asphalt anchor	$90 to $180
Single concrete wheel stop, concrete substrate	$110 to $220
Bulk job (50+ units)	$65 to $140 per unit
HOA / multi-family lot (rubber, ramp profile)	$90 to $185 per unit

These figures reflect published industry averages. Current market pricing varies significantly and actual quotes may fall well outside these ranges based on site-specific conditions, material costs, and project complexity.

Current Market Reality

Gresham 2026 install pricing sits at or just below Beaverton-Hillsboro baselines because mobilization distance from the Cojo Hood River yard is shorter and disposal-site routing is simpler. The factors pushing prices above baseline elsewhere in the metro - fuel, labor, and disposal fees - apply here too, but the smaller per-job freight cost cushions some of it. Bulk jobs in the 50-plus-unit range still produce the best per-unit pricing, especially on multi-building HOA portfolios that bundle multiple parking lots into one mobilization.

What does a Cojo wheel stop install look like in Gresham?

Three recent reference jobs:

• Powell Boulevard retail strip, March 2026 — 90-stall older retail center, replaced 24 cracked concrete units with 6x6x72 reinforced concrete on rebar-pin anchors over the original asphalt-on-concrete substrate. Restriped the ADA stalls in the same mobilization.
• Pleasant Valley HOA condo association, February 2026 — 110-stall residential lot, installed recycled-rubber units on the asphalt substrate. Board approved a five-year replacement cycle aligned with the recycled-rubber lifespan curve.
• Rockwood community shopping center, January 2026 — 75-stall lot, full replacement of 32 broken units. Coordinated with the property manager to clear half the lot at a time during a Sunday-Monday window.

For commercial striping in Gresham on the same job, the wheel-stop and striping crews coordinate so stall lines and ADA aisles are square against the new units. Lots that need bollard installation in Gresham can bundle into the same mobilization.
