Roof Maintenance
in Chicagoland

Complete Visual Inspection: We walk your roof (or use drones for steep pitches) examining every component: - Shingle condition: granule loss, curling, cracking, lifted tabs - Flashing integrity: rust, separation, failed sealant at chimneys, skylights, dormers - Vent boots: rubber deterioration, cracking - Ridge caps: secure attachment, sealant condition - Valleys: debris accumulation, wear patterns - Gutters: secure mounting, proper slope, downspout function

Attic Inspection: We check from inside as well: - Daylight visibility (indicates gaps) - Water staining on decking - Proper ventilation (soffit intake, ridge exhaust) - Insulation coverage and condition - Signs of animal intrusion

Debris Removal: Leaves, branches, and shingle granules accumulate in valleys, behind chimneys, and around dormers. This debris traps moisture against your roof surface, accelerating deterioration. We clear all debris.

Gutter Cleaning: Clogged gutters force water under shingles at the eave. During freeze-thaw cycles, this creates ice dams that lift shingles and damage underlayment. We clear gutters and verify proper drainage.

Minor Repairs Included: Our maintenance program includes basic repairs at no additional cost: - Resealing exposed nail heads - Reattaching lifted shingles - Caulking minor flashing gaps - Replacing cracked vent boots - Clearing debris from drains

Written Report: You receive a detailed condition report with photographs documenting current state and any concerns. This creates a maintenance history that supports warranty claims and informs future decisions.

Maintenance Frequency:: We recommend annual inspection for most residential roofs, ideally in spring after winter damage and before summer storms. For commercial flat roofs, twice-annual inspection (spring and fall) catches seasonal issues.

Areas We Serve for Maintenance:: We maintain roofs throughout Frankfort, Mokena, New Lenox, Lockport, Joliet, Orland Park, Tinley Park, Palos Heights, Oak Lawn, Homewood, Flossmoor, Matteson, and north through Naperville, Downers Grove, Westmont, and Hinsdale.

Cost vs. Value:: Maintenance costs $300-500 annually for most residential roofs. Compare that to a $1,200 emergency repair when a $50 vent boot failure goes undetected, or $8,000 in decking replacement when minor flashing issues cause years of hidden water intrusion.
