South Florida roofs take a beating that roofs in other climates simply don't face. Year-round UV exposure degrades shingle granules and sealant compounds. Tropical humidity feeds algae and mold growth that eats into roofing materials. Hurricane season brings wind-driven rain that finds every weak point in flashing and sealant. And clogged gutters from constant palm frond and leaf debris cause water to back up under the roof edge, rotting fascia boards and decking.
Our maintenance plans catch these problems when they're $50 fixes — not $5,000 emergencies. Every visit includes a 42-point roof inspection covering shingles/tiles, flashing, penetrations, ridge caps, gutters, downspouts, soffit venting, and attic conditions. We photograph every finding and deliver a written report within 48 hours. Minor repairs — resealing a pipe boot, replacing a cracked tile, re-bedding a lifted ridge cap — are included at no additional charge up to $250 per visit.
Gutter and downspout cleaning is performed at each visit, critical in South Florida where a single royal palm can fill a gutter section in weeks. We flush all downspouts to confirm drainage and flag any sections that need repair or replacement.
