WHY ROOF MAINTENANCE PAYS
Roofs rarely fail all at once. They fail at a clogged gutter, a cracked sealant joint, a slipped tile or a drain full of leaves. A tune-up before the rainy season finds those spots while they're cheap to fix, and it adds years to the whole roof.
WHAT A TUNE-UP INCLUDES
- Clearing gutters, downspouts, drains and scuppers
- Roof cleaning to remove debris, leaves and buildup
- Checking and resetting slipped or cracked tiles
- Resealing flashing, vents and penetrations where needed
- Checking flat roof seams and surfaces
- A photo report after every visit

ROOF MAINTENANCE QUESTIONS
HOW OFTEN SHOULD MY ROOF BE MAINTAINED?
Once a year before the rainy season is a good baseline, with a check after major storms. Flat roofs and roofs under trees benefit from twice a year.
DO YOU OFFER ROOF CLEANING?
Yes. Roof cleaning is part of every tune-up, and we offer it on its own as well.
WHAT IF YOU FIND A PROBLEM?
Small items can often be fixed during the visit with your approval. Larger repairs are photographed and quoted separately. See roof repair.
