Roof Inspection & Maintenance
Catch problems early and extend your roof's life with professional inspections.
Why Regular Inspections Matter
Most roof problems start small. A few loose shingles here, a small crack in the flashing there. These minor issues are easy and cheap to fix when you catch them early. But if you ignore them, they turn into major leaks, water damage, and expensive repairs.
That's why regular roof inspections are so important. We recommend having your roof professionally inspected at least once a year, and always after major storms. These checkups help you stay ahead of problems and protect your biggest investment.
Think of roof inspections like oil changes for your car. They're routine maintenance that prevents breakdowns and saves you money in the long run. For Berkeley, CA homeowners, this is especially important given our climate and weather patterns.
What We Check During an Inspection
Our inspections are thorough. We don't just look at your roof from the ground. We climb up there and examine everything up close. Here's what we inspect:
- Shingles or roofing material for cracks, curling, or missing pieces
- Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights for gaps or rust
- Gutters and downspouts for clogs and proper drainage
- Attic and interior for signs of water damage or leaks
- Ventilation systems to ensure proper airflow
- Overall structural integrity and any signs of sagging
After the inspection, we provide you with a detailed report and photos. We'll explain what we found, what needs attention now, and what you should keep an eye on for the future. If we find issues that need immediate roof repair, we'll let you know right away.
Preventative Maintenance Services
Inspections are just one part of keeping your roof in great shape. We also offer preventative maintenance services that extend your roof's lifespan and help you avoid costly surprises.
Minor Repairs
We fix small problems before they become big ones. Replacing a few shingles or sealing a small leak takes minutes and costs very little compared to major water damage repairs.
Gutter Cleaning
Clogged gutters cause water to back up under your shingles, leading to leaks and rot. We clean your gutters and make sure water flows away from your home properly.
Moss and Debris Removal
Moss, algae, and accumulated debris can damage your roof over time. We carefully remove these materials without harming your shingles or tiles.
Many of our customers sign up for annual maintenance plans. We come out once or twice a year, inspect your roof, perform basic maintenance, and keep detailed records. This proactive approach can add years to your roof's life and help you budget for future roof replacement projects.
When to Schedule an Inspection
You should schedule an inspection at least once a year, but there are also specific times when you definitely need one:
After any major storm or high winds, even if you don't see obvious damage. Problems might be hiding up there.
Before buying or selling a home. A roof inspection gives buyers peace of mind and helps sellers price their property accurately.
If your roof is more than 10 years old. Older roofs need more frequent checkups to catch age-related wear and tear.
If you notice anything unusual like water stains on your ceiling, missing shingles, or increased energy bills, call us right away for an inspection.
