Annual roof inspection and maintenance, documented. It keeps a dated record of your roof condition for warranty and resale, and it catches the small failures that turn into decking and drywall jobs.
Keeping the warranty paperwork straight
This is the reason most people call us about maintenance. The warranties on a roof, the manufacturer system warranty on the materials and the workmanship warranty from whoever installed it, both assume the roof is being looked after. The part nobody mentions is that showing it falls to you, years later, when a problem is being reviewed. A documented annual inspection gives you a dated photo record of the roof condition, year over year. That is what gets asked for when a warranty claim is questioned, and it is what a buyer inspector wants to see at closing. If Allstar installed the roof, we keep that record on file alongside your five-year Allstar labor warranty.
What is included
- Annual roof inspection with documented photos
- Minor repair credit toward any issues found
- Priority scheduling for emergency response
Most asphalt roofs in Florida run 15 to 25 years. Where yours lands inside that has a lot to do with how it was installed, how well it is ventilated, and whether small problems get caught while they are still small. That last one is what this program is for, and it costs a tiny fraction of a replacement.
What we actually look at
An inspection that is just a walk-around is not worth paying for. Ours covers the things that actually fail on Tampa Bay roofs, in the order they tend to fail:
- Pipe boots and rubber collars, which dry-rot in Florida sun long before the shingles wear out
- Flashing at chimneys, skylights, walls, and valleys
- Ridge cap and any lifted or wind-creased shingles
- Sealant at every penetration and rooftop fastener
- Soffit and ridge ventilation, since trapped attic heat ages a roof from underneath
- Gutter flow and drip edge condition
Commercial, HOA, and multi-family
On a low-slope commercial roof, maintenance is the difference between a membrane that reaches its service life and one that does not. Low-slope systems fail at the details first, the seams, the flashing at HVAC curbs and parapet walls, the drains and scuppers, and they fail quietly: the water shows up inside the building long after it started getting in. We inspect and document commercial roofs for churches and schools, retail and auto, offices, and multi-family and HOA properties across Tampa Bay and Pinellas. For a property manager or an HOA board the documented record does double duty, it is what you take to the board or the owner, and it is what backs up the manufacturer system warranty on a roof that has to last a full term.
When to call outside the schedule
Book a look after any named storm, after a nearby tree comes down, and any time you see a stain on a ceiling — even a small dry one. Small problems on a roof are cheap. The same problem eighteen months later is a decking and drywall job. If we find something serious, we will quote the repair honestly rather than upselling you.
