What Does Hurricane Roof Maintenance Cover?
Wind doesn’t push on a roof evenly. It pulls hardest at the corners, then along the perimeter, and least across the field, which is why storm damage so often starts at a piece of metal a few inches wide and works inward from there. So our maintenance visits go there first. Our crew inspects and tests the corners, the perimeter, every penetration, and the drainage paths, fixes what you authorize on the spot, and photographs all of it. You can picture the whole visit before the truck arrives.
Corners And Edges First
Our crew checks the edge metal attachment and fastening at every corner and along the perimeter. Where a section has corroded, the crew bends the replacement drip edge on the brake we carry on the truck.
Hands On Every Seal
The crew lifts tabs at the roof plane and hand-seals any course that comes up loose. They check the sealant at every chimney, skylight, and pipe and look for sun damage on the flashings, because a seal that looks fine from the driveway is the one that lets the first rain in.
Valleys And Gutters Cleared
We clear the organic buildup out of valleys and gutters that backs rain water up under the covering, and we check that water sitting on a lap has somewhere to go.
Salt Air Corrosion Check
On coastal homes we inspect fasteners and metal components for salt mist corrosion, because a corroded fastener holds less than the day it went in.
Small Fixes On The Spot
A lifted flashing edge or a loose fastener gets resealed or refastened during the visit when you authorize it. Anything that takes material goes on a repair or replacement plan with the photos attached.
Once wind gets past the covering, the underlayment and the peel and stick barrier over the deck seams are all that stand between the rain and your decking. Storm wind forces rain under laps and past lifted edges, so a small gap at a flashing puts rain water into the underlayment on the first bad afternoon. None of that shows from the driveway. All of it shows from the roof, which is where the visit happens.
Every visit produces a CompanyCam photo report of what we found and what we corrected, timed and located on your roof, with the pin moisture meter readings beside the pictures and an arrow on each failure point. Manufacturers ask for maintenance records when a warranty claim comes in for a material failure, and this report is that record. Your roof’s condition on a given date becomes something you can show instead of something you describe.
