Homeowners today recognize the importance of the investment they have made in protecting their home and its contents from damage, both in terms of the roofs cost and its replacement value.

Owners should routinely implement scheduled roof inspections and maintenance programs.  Extending the life of your roof saves you money and eliminates dealing with leakage and other roofing problems.  A roof maintenance program is a preventative or corrective procedure taken to restore a roofing system to a water-tight condition.

As part of the roof maintenance agreement, bi-annual inspections are performed by Avondale Roofing, Inc. and minor problems are corrected before they become troublesome.

Every Spring and Fall, we will inspect your roofing system.  The Spring inspection can detect winter related roof damage and the Fall inspection will assure that your roof is ready for winter.  Special inspections are recommended following extraordinary situations such as:

  • New construction or equipment installed on roof;
  • Unusual weather conditions, such as hail, high wind, unusually heavy snows or other weather phenomenon;
  • Vandalism or any other known damage to your roof.

Avondale Roofing Inc. will provide a report of the general roof condition after each inspections, with recommendations for immediate and future action needed, if necessary.

Each bi-annual maintenance will include the following:

  1. Gutter or drain cleaning
  2. We will carefully check all flashings at walls, chimney and skylights.  A variety of problems may occur at these vulnerable locations.
  3. We will inspect all roof penetrations.  These are pipes, vents or stacks that penetrate the roofing system.  These must be flashed properly to assure a problem free roof.
  4. We will inspect the roof system for:
  • wrinkled, ridged or curling shingles or non-adhered roofing;
  • worn spots, holes or deteriorated areas of the roof;
  • areas around roof-top equipment (satellite dish, antenna, etc.) that may have been degraded or punctured by dropped equipment parts.

Choosing a roof maintenance program performed by professionals
 can offer you a sound roof at a sound price
