Maintenance Services
Your roof helps protect your investment. We are here to help you maximize the potential life of your roof and keep you dry! Your roof starts to wear from the date of install. On top of natural aging, your roof wears from the harsh weather conditions, such as: Sun, Snow, Rain, Hail, Wind and Hot/Cold cycles. On top of this, grease fans on the roof can spill and increase deterioration. Poor tenant installs on leased space can also cause premature failure and water to ingress into your roof system. Drains can clog and back up - flooding the roof, and causing excess weight. In worst cases, a roof system can collapse if preventable issues are left alone too long.
How can you help prevent these issues?
It is helpful to set up a regular roof maintenance schedule to help maximize the life of your roof and protect your investment.
What happens is we will provide you a First Time Maintenance Inspection. During this inspection, all issues in the roof (If any) will be documented and quoted for. Once that quote is approved, a First Time Maintenance will be performed to bring the roof up to a standard that can be maintained with a few visits a year. Once the roof is brought up to a standard, the maintenances will be split into two: Dry Weather and Wet Weather.
Dry Weather Maintenances address tasks that can only be performed in dry weather. These tasks are usually related to painting, sealing and waterproofing of the roof. Dry Weather visits are usually only required once a year.
Wet Weather Maintenances address tasks like debris removal, and drain clearing and can be performed multiple times per year as required.
Listed below are some of the items addressed during our maintenance visits:
Drains (Dry/Wet Weather)
Clogged
Flooding
Failed
Cleared
Draining
Repaired
Drains are inspected during visits!
During each maintenance visit, we check and clear your drains. If the drain is clogged with debris, we use many techniques to clear them. Keep in mind, we do not replace plumbers. If there is a drain that cannot be cleared, we will advise a plumber is required. This being said, our company has a very high success rate for drain clearing, and we will inspect the roofing around the drain to ensure it is well sealed. We clear all drain screens and clear up to 5 clogged drains per maintenance visit, and will notify you immediately if more are required. Drains are one of the most important parts of the roof system as ponding water can flood into the building, if not kept in check. The worst clogged drain can cave in an entire ceiling, so it's important that they get checked regularly. How often do the drains need clearing? It depends on how much debris the roof gets, and the size of the drains. Ensuring a clear drain is a shared responsibility, as the roofs that get the most debris can clog a drain within a month. Need them cleared again? Don't hesitate to contact us and we can provide drain clearing outside of regularly scheduled maintenance visits.
Gutters in excess of 25' will require additional quoting to be cleared.
Rust Proofing (Dry Weather Only)

Rusted B Vents

We paint your galvanized metal!
Rust paint is not just for aesthetics - Although that is a bonus! Rust paint helps inhibit, slow down, and prevent rust. Galvanized metal that we paint lasts a lot longer than untreated metal. What ends up happening is overtime, galvanized metal (Like on a B vent) will rust and corrode. At some point, holes start forming, which can cause a leak in the roof system or building. Not only will we keep the rust at bay - we will inspect the B vents and inform you when a heating contractor will have to replace them. We will paint and touch up 5 items that are galvanized each dry maintenance service. We will not paint AC Units or Mechanical Units that are supposed to be serviced by another contractor.
B Vents & Penetrations (Dry Weather Only)
B Vent Failing
Vent Needs Sealant
Opening in curb
B Vent Sealed

Opening sealed
We will seal your vents and penetrations!
We will seal up to 5 penetrations and 5 B Vents per visit, if required! If the roof is TPO or EPDM, 5 plumbing vents will be sealed per visit only, instead of 5 penetrations. We take pride in doing work that performs as good as it looks! Penetration sealing doesn't apply to sloped roofs. Large penetrations that require extra time will be sealed temporarily and quoted for.
Debris (Dry or Wet Weather)
Leaf Debris can clog drain
Leaf Debris can clog gutters
Vegetation build up

We clear your debris!
Every maintenance visit, we will clear up to 5 bags worth of debris. The purpose of debris clearing is to ensure the roof system and drains can properly function as intended. With this in mind, our priority focus starts with debris within a 10' radius of drains and gutters (if applicable). If debris on the roof exceeds 5 bags, and removal is recommended, we will provide a quote to remove the remainder. We also clean up and treat loose excess moss to prevent buildup. If a "spotless" look is desired for debris cleaning or moss removal, we recommend a soft washing company that specializes in cleaning and treating roof systems.
We also do not remove the following:
-Snow
-Needles
-Debris contaminated with bird feces
-Grease
-Hazardous chemicals
-Debris contaminated with hazardous chemicals
-Dead animals
-Birds nests with eggs
-Feces
