Roof Inspection & Maintenance

Why Regular Roof Inspections Matter

Your roof works hard every single day to protect your home from sun, rain, wind, and hail. Over time, even the best roofs develop small problems that can turn into expensive repairs if you ignore them. That is where regular inspections come in.

A professional roof inspection catches issues while they are still small and affordable to fix. A few missing shingles today could turn into a major leak tomorrow. A small crack in flashing could allow water to damage your roof deck and insulation. These problems do not fix themselves, they only get worse and more expensive over time.

We recommend having your roof inspected at least once a year, ideally before storm season. You should also have it inspected after any major weather event like a hailstorm or hurricane. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that their roof has damage they cannot see from the ground. Our free roof inspection gives you peace of mind and catches problems before they become disasters.

What We Check During a Roof Inspection

When we inspect your roof, we look at everything from top to bottom. Here is what we check:

• Shingle condition - We look for missing, cracked, curling, or damaged shingles that need replacement.
• Flashing integrity - We check all flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights, and roof edges for cracks or separation.
• Gutters and downspouts - We inspect your drainage system for clogs, damage, or improper slope that could cause water backup.
• Roof penetrations - We examine vents, pipes, and other penetrations to ensure seals are intact and watertight.
• Attic ventilation - We check that your attic has proper ventilation to prevent heat and moisture buildup that shortens roof life.
• Interior signs - We look in your attic for water stains, mold, or other signs of leaks that may not be visible outside.
• Structural issues - We check for sagging, uneven areas, or other signs of structural problems that need attention.

After the inspection, we sit down with you and explain everything we found. We show you photos of any issues and give you honest recommendations on what needs to be done now versus what can wait. You will never feel pressured to make immediate decisions.

Preventive Maintenance That Extends Roof Life

Regular maintenance is one of the smartest investments you can make in your home. Just like your car needs oil changes, your roof needs occasional care to perform its best. Here is what our maintenance services include:

Cleaning

We remove leaves, branches, and other debris from your roof and gutters. Debris traps moisture against your roof, accelerating deterioration and creating conditions for mold and algae growth. Clean gutters also prevent water backup that can damage your roof edges and fascia.

Minor Repairs

Our maintenance visits include fixing small issues before they become big problems. We replace a few missing shingles, reseal loose flashing, or make other minor repairs as part of the service. These small fixes now prevent expensive emergency repairs later.

Sealant and Caulk Checks

Sealants around roof penetrations break down over time from sun exposure. We check and refresh sealants around vents, pipes, and other openings to keep them watertight.

Documentation

After each maintenance visit, you get a detailed report with photos showing your roof's condition. This documentation is valuable if you ever need to file an insurance claim or when you sell your home. It shows that you have taken good care of your roof.

Our Maintenance Programs

We offer annual and biannual maintenance programs designed for San Juan's climate. When you sign up for a maintenance program, you get priority scheduling, discounted service rates, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing a professional is watching over your roof.

Our programs include scheduled inspections and cleaning, plus we are just a phone call away if you notice any problems between visits. Many of our maintenance customers have extended their roof's life by 5 to 10 years through regular care, saving thousands of dollars compared to premature replacement.

We also work with both homeowners and business owners. If you own rental properties or commercial buildings, our maintenance programs help you protect your investment and avoid surprise repair bills. We keep detailed records for all your properties and notify you immediately if we find anything that needs attention.
