Roof maintenance — San Jose, CA

When a pro inspects your roof in San Jose, they'll first check for loose or missing shingles, which are common issues. They'll examine the condition of the flashing around any penetrations like vents or chimneys, as this is a frequent leak point. Clogged gutters are also a priority, as they can lead to water pooling and damaging the roof deck. They also look for signs of algae or moss growth. This thorough check helps determine the overall health of your roof.

While less common, some older homes might still have tile roofs, particularly in specific neighborhoods. Understanding your shingle type is key to proper maintenance and repair.

Flashing is installed around vents, chimneys, and valleys to ensure watertightness. Finally, the roof edges are finished with drip edges, and the roof is cleaned.
