What Is an Annual Roof Checkup?

An annual roof checkup isn’t just a glance. It’s a thorough inspection by a licensed professional. Every shingle. Every vent. Every nook.

Think of it like a doctor’s visit for your roof. Small problems get spotted early. Big disasters avoided.

Components Checked

• Shingles: Curling, cracking, missing pieces.

• Flashing: Around chimneys, vents, skylights. Needs to seal tight.

• Gutters & Downspouts: Clear of debris, flowing freely.

• Roof Decking: No sagging. No hidden water damage.

• Attic: Signs of leaks, mold, or poor insulation.
  
  

Why You Need It

1. Spot Problems Early

A missing shingle? Looks tiny. But it can let water in. Water leads to rot. Mold grows fast. Emergency repairs. Expensive. Catch it early with a checkup.

2. Extend Roof Life

A roof in shape lasts longer. Inspections keep shingles, flashing, and vents working right. One little fix today can buy years of life.

3. Save Money

Routine checkups cost hundreds. Emergency fixes? Thousands. Easy math. Prevention wins every time.

4. Energy Efficiency

Leaks or gaps let heat escape in winter. Cool air escapes in summer. HVAC works overtime. Bills climb. Regular maintenance keeps your roof sealed. Saves energy.

5. Peace of Mind

Storm season? You’re ready. Roof checked. Minor repairs done. No surprises. Sleep better.

What Is Preventative Roof Service?

Preventative roof service is all about stopping problems before they start. It’s the proactive side of care. Not reactive.

Key Services

• Shingle Replacement: Curling or missing shingles? Replace before leaks.

• Gutter Cleaning: Water flows where it should, not your foundation.

• Flashing Repairs: Seal gaps around chimneys, vents, skylights.

• Roof Cleaning: Remove moss, algae, debris. Stop deterioration.

• Minor Leak Repairs: Fix leaks immediately. Prevent bigger damage.
  
  

Combine this with an annual roof checkup. That’s the real power.

What a Roof Maintenance Program Includes

A roof maintenance program takes checkups and preventative service to the next level.

1. Scheduled Inspections: Once a year, at minimum.

2. Seasonal Maintenance: Spring and fall are ideal. Prepare for weather swings.

3. Debris Removal & Cleaning: Keep gutters and roof clear.

4. Minor Repairs: Small fixes before they get big.

5. Documentation: Track repairs, inspections, and warranties.

6. Emergency Support: Priority help when urgent issues pop up.
   
   

It’s peace of mind packaged in a plan.

Common Roof Problems Found

1. Damaged Shingles

Shingles protect your home. Missing or cracked ones let water in. Leads to leaks.

2. Flashing Problems

Flashing directs water around roof penetrations. If it’s bad, leaks happen.

3. Clogged Gutters

Overflow damages siding and foundation. Cleaning gutters prevents a cascade of issues.

4. Roof Leaks

Moisture leads to mold and wood rot. Early detection is key.

5. Moss & Algae

Hold water, damage shingles. Cleaning and maintenance stops it.
