Real Findings from Recent Maintenance Visits
Actual issues we caught on Clark County roofs before they turned into leaks. Every one of these was cheap to fix in the moment - and would have been thousands of dollars in repair work if we had missed them.
Real photos from our maintenance visits
Damaged Vent Cap
Found during a routine maintenance visit: a bent vent cap that was letting water seep around the plumbing vent pipe. Caught before it caused an interior leak. We replaced the cap and resealed the base on the spot.
Cracked Vent Boot
The exact component pulled off the roof during a maintenance visit - the rubber is cracked all the way through and would have started leaking within one PNW winter. Replaced same-day with a fresh boot and fresh flashing.
Trim Rot
Water had been seeping behind the trim board and slowly rotting the wood from the backside. By the time homeowners spot trim rot from the ground it has usually spread - we caught this one early during a maintenance visit, flagged the affected boards, and prevented it from cascading into fascia and decking damage.
Why Roof Maintenance Saves You Money
The components most likely to fail on your roof cost very little to fix early - and a fortune to fix late
Boot Collar Failure
The rubber gasket around plumbing vents is the #1 hidden leak source on Pacific Northwest roofs. It cracks and dries out around year 8-12 of a 25-year shingle life.
Caught early: less than $500
Caught after a leak: $2,500-$8,000 in interior + structural repair
Missing Sealant on Flashing
Flashing sealant cracks and shrinks every winter. Once water finds the gap, it travels along the flashing and shows up far from the actual entry point.
Caught early: less than $500
Caught after a leak: $1,500-$5,000 in flashing rework + decking + drywall
Fascia Board Rot
Failed gutter pitch or a small drip edge gap soaks the fascia board. By the time you see paint bubbling, the wood is already structurally compromised.
Caught early: less than $500
Caught after rot sets in: $1,200-$4,000 in fascia replacement + gutter rehang
The Math Is Simple
A single annual maintenance visit costs less than one boot collar leak repair. Catch one problem early and the visit has already paid for itself many times over.
