The Roof That Lasted 38 Years
Robert Chen bought his house on Oakland Avenue in 1986. The roof was new. His real estate agent told him it would last 20-25 years.
Robert called us in 1988 for a small repair. We fixed it. Then we asked if he wanted to join our maintenance program. Twice a year, we'd come check his roof. Clear the gutters. Fix small issues. $180 per visit.
That roof lasted until 2024. Thirty-eight years.
Robert spent about $6,500 on maintenance over those years. His neighbors replaced their roofs twice. At $18,000 each time. They spent $36,000 on roofs while Robert spent $6,500.
This is what maintenance does. It turns a 25-year roof into a 35-year roof. It catches small problems before they become expensive disasters. It's the cheapest thing you can do for your house.
What's Included in Roof Maintenance
Comprehensive Inspection
Complete roof examination. We check every shingle, every flashing detail, every potential problem area.
Gutter Cleaning
Clear gutters and downspouts. Clogged gutters cause water damage and ice dams. We keep them flowing.
Minor Repairs
Small issues fixed on the spot. Loose shingles. Popped nails. Small flashing problems. Before they get worse.
Debris Removal
Clear leaves, branches, and debris that trap moisture and cause premature aging of your roof materials.
Ventilation Check
Ensure proper attic ventilation. Poor airflow causes ice dams in winter and heat damage in summer.
Photo Documentation
Complete photo record of your roof's condition. Track changes over time. Valuable for insurance claims.
How Often Should You Maintain Your Roof?
- Spring Inspection (April-May)
After winter damage. Check for ice dam damage, loose shingles, and winter wear before summer storms
- Fall Inspection (September-October)
Before winter arrives. Clear gutters, check for summer storm damage, prepare for snow and ice
- After Major Storms
High winds, hail, or severe weather can cause damage. Check immediately to prevent further issues
The Real Cost of Skipping Maintenance
Small Problems Become Big Ones
A loose shingle costs $15 to fix. That same shingle, left alone for two years, lets water damage your decking. Now it's a $2,500 repair.
Shortened Roof Lifespan
Unmaintained roofs fail 5-10 years earlier than maintained ones. Replace your roof at year 15 instead of year 25? That's a $20,000 mistake.
Voided Warranties
Many roofing warranties require regular maintenance. Skip it, and your warranty might be worthless when you need it.
