Why Los Angeles roofs fail years early
The roof maintenance Inglewood and Los Angeles homes actually need is small and cheap. Roofs here almost never fail because they were bad. They fail because four small things were left alone until the first big rain found them.
Blocked drains and gutters
Leaves and grit back the water up under the edge of the roof. On a flat roof, a blocked scupper means a pond, and a pond finds every seam.
Sun baked sealant
The caulk around pipe flashings, vents and skylights dries out in a few LA summers. When it cracks, water follows the pipe straight in.
One cracked tile, one lifted shingle
A five minute fix in October. By February it's wet underlayment, and by the year after it's a new roof.
Santa Ana winds
A big blow in the fall lifts what was already loose. A pre rainy season roof check catches it before the first storm does.
What a tune up visit includes
A crew lead, a ladder, a bucket of sealant and about two hours. Here's what gets done while they're up there.
Clear the drainage
Gutters, downspouts, flat roof drains and scuppers cleared so water leaves the roof the way it's supposed to.
Reseal the penetrations
Pipe flashings, vents, skylight edges and exposed fasteners resealed before the old caulk lets go.
Fix the small stuff on the spot
A cracked tile, a lifted shingle, a loose ridge cap. Minor repairs are part of the visit.
Check every piece of flashing
Chimneys, walls, skylights and vents, where most Los Angeles leaks start.
Walk the flat roof for ponding and blisters
Standing water marks, blistered cap sheet and open seams noted and photographed.
Look in the attic
Stains on the decking, daylight through the boards and blocked vents, where there's access.
Clear the debris
Leaves, branches and anything holding water against the roof, removed and bagged.
Photograph and report
Before and after photos, and a short written note on what was done and what to watch.
Tell you what's coming
A straight read on how many years the roof has left, so a replacement is planned, not sprung on you.
Emergency tarp going on
Leak stopped at the source
Storm damage before repair

Maintenance, repair or replacement? Here's the honest line
Preventative roof maintenance is the cheapest thing we do, and the roof maintenance Los Angeles homeowners get from us is meant to put off a new roof, not sell one. But it can't fix everything, so here's where each one belongs.
The roof is sound
It's under 15 years old, or older and well kept, and the problems are drainage, sealant and the odd tile. A tune up a year keeps it that way.
Something has already failed
A leak, a failed flashing, wind damage. Maintenance won't fix it, but the visit will find it and price the repair in writing.
The roof is at the end
Underlayment gone across the roof, repeated leaks, two layers already. We'll tell you, and we'll tell you how long you've got, so you can plan the replacement instead of being surprised by it.
Not sure which you're looking at? A roof inspection answers it, with photos.

Roof maintenance questions we get asked most
What does roof maintenance actually include?
Clearing the drainage, resealing the penetrations, fixing minor damage on the spot, checking every piece of flashing, walking flat roofs for ponding, a look in the attic, clearing debris, photos, and a straight answer on how many years the roof has left. The full checklist is above.
How often should a roof be maintained in Los Angeles?
Once a year for most pitched roofs, before the rainy season. Twice a year for flat roofs and for anything with a lot of trees over it, because drains block faster than you'd think.
When is the best time for a tune up?
September to November, before the first real rain. That's when a pre rainy season roof check pays for itself, and it's also when our calendar fills, so book early.
Can a tune up fix a leak?
A small one, often yes, while we're up there. A failed flashing or a leak that's been running a while is a repair, and the visit will find it, photograph it and price it in writing.
How much does a roof tune up cost?
It's quoted from your roof size and type before you book, so there's no surprise on the day. It's a fraction of what the first ignored leak costs.
Does maintenance affect my warranty?
It helps it. Many manufacturer warranties expect the roof to be looked after, and the photo record from each visit is the proof you'd want if you ever had to make a claim.
Do you maintain flat roofs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flat roofs benefit most from maintenance, because ponding and blocked drains are what kill them. For buildings, see our commercial maintenance programs.
What is an annual roof maintenance plan?
A roof maintenance plan means we come back every year, before the rain, without you having to remember. You get the same crew lead, a growing photo record of your roof, and a call from us when it's time, without you having to think about it. Ask about it when you book.
Get ahead of the rain
Schedule a roof tune up and a crew lead will clear the drains, reseal the weak spots and tell you what's coming, before the first storm tells you instead.
