What's Included
Every Roof Maintenance Service Includes
We've built our roof maintenance program around Chicago's unique weather—from polar vortexes to hail storms. Here's exactly what you get when you book with our crew.
- ✓ **Thorough Inspection** – We start by walking every inch of your roof, checking flashings, vents, chimneys, and valleys. No drone-only inspections; we get up there and look close.
✓ **Gutter & Downspout Clearing** – Clogged gutters cause ice dams and water backup. We clear debris and flush downspouts to keep water moving away from your foundation.
✓ **Minor Repair & Sealant Work** – We re-seal around pipe boots, vents, and skylights. If we spot a loose shingle or a small nail pop, we fix it on the spot—no upcharge.
✓ **Flat Roof Detail (TPO/EPDM/Modified Bitumen)** – For flat sections, we check seams, patch any punctures, and apply manufacturer-approved coatings if needed. We're certified for GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed systems.
✓ **Debris Removal & Moss Treatment** – We sweep off leaves, branches, and moss that trap moisture. For heavy moss, we apply a zinc or copper treatment to prevent regrowth.
✓ **Attic & Ventilation Check** – Poor attic airflow shortens roof life. We inspect soffit vents, ridge vents, and insulation levels, then note any issues in your report.
✓ **Documentation & Photo Report** – After every maintenance visit, you'll get a detailed report with photos of key areas, plus a written summary of our findings. No surprises—you see exactly what we saw.
✓ **License & Insurance Proof** – All work is performed by our crew under Illinois Contractor License #104-014892. We're fully insured with general liability and workers' comp—coverage on file at our Division Street shop.
Our Process
Your Roof Maintenance in 4 Simple Steps
From your first call to a healthier roof, we keep it straightforward. Here's how we work — no surprises, just honest maintenance.
**Step 1: Schedule Your Free Inspection**
Call us at (312) 313-3253 or fill out the form. We'll set a time that works for you — often within 48 hours. No obligation, no pressure.
**Step 2: Thorough Roof Assessment**
Our crew arrives, climbs up, and inspects every inch: shingles, flashing, gutters, vents, and decking. We check for hail damage, aging, and weak spots. We use a drone for hard-to-reach areas on steep roofs.
**Step 3: Detailed Report & Custom Plan**
You get a written estimate with photos of what we found. We explain what needs attention now vs. later. For maintenance, we list cleaning, sealant touch-ups, and minor repairs — all itemized with material and labor costs.
**Step 4: Expert Maintenance on Your Schedule**
Once you approve, we schedule the work. We clean gutters, remove debris, re-caulk flashings, replace damaged shingles, and apply protective coating if needed. We're licensed (Illinois #104-014892) and fully insured. After completion, we provide a maintenance checklist for your records.
**Bonus: Seasonal Maintenance Plans**
For customers who want year-round peace of mind, we offer spring and fall clean & inspect plans. We'll remind you when it's time, so you never miss a season. Covers your roof from Chicago's freeze-thaw cycles and hailstorms.

Roof Maintenance FAQ
Common Questions About Roof Maintenance in Chicago
We've been keeping Chicago roofs in top shape since 2008. Here's what homeowners usually ask before booking a maintenance visit.
1. Q: How often should I have my roof inspected in Chicago? A: We recommend at least twice a year—once in spring after freeze-thaw cycles and once in fall before snow season. Our crew sees too many Wicker Park and Pilsen roofs with hidden damage from polar vortexes that a simple check would have caught.
2. Q: What does a roof maintenance service include? A: We do a full inspection of shingles, flashings, vents, and gutters. We'll tighten loose fasteners, reseal exposed nail heads, and clear debris from valleys. If we find rotted decking or lifted shingles, we'll show you photos and explain what needs repair—no upsell pressure, just honest talk.
3. Q: Do you handle minor repairs during maintenance? A: Yes. If we spot a loose flashing or a small leak point, we'll fix it on the spot as part of the service. For larger issues like storm damage, we'll document everything and help you file an insurance claim. We've been navigating claims for 18 years—we know how adjusters in Cook County work.
4. Q: How much does roof maintenance cost? A: For a standard residential roof on a single-family home in neighborhoods like Logan Square or Evanston, our maintenance visit runs $150–$300. That includes the full inspection and any minor repairs we can complete in one trip. We'll always give you a written estimate before any additional work.
5. Q: Can I do roof maintenance myself? A: We get why folks ask—especially on Chicago's three-flats. But we've seen DIY fixes lead to bigger leaks and voided warranties. We're licensed under Illinois #104-014892 and fully insured. Let us handle the ladder work while you focus on what matters. A professional check costs less than one emergency repair.
6. Q: Does maintenance affect my roof warranty? A: Absolutely—it keeps it valid. Manufacturer warranties from GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed require annual professional inspections. We're certified installers for all three, so our maintenance records satisfy their requirements. Plus, we document everything with photos and notes, so you have proof if you ever need to file a claim.
