Roof Inspection, Maintenance & Minor Repairs
Your roof is your home’s first line of defense and regular inspections help ensure it lasts as long as possible. At Trademark Roofing & Gutter, we recommend a professional roof inspection every 5 years to catch small issues early, prevent leaks, and avoid costly interior damage.
Our roof inspection and maintenance services are designed to extend the life of your roof, protect your investment, and give you peace of mind.
What’s Included in Our Roof Inspection Process
When you schedule a roof inspection with Trademark Roofing & Gutter, our experienced team conducts a hands‑on, comprehensive evaluation of your entire roofing system. We get on the roof and inspect:
- Every shingle
- Flashing and sealants
- Pipe boots and roof penetrations
- Valleys, crickets, and drainage areas
As part of our standard inspection and maintenance service, we may also:
- Replace up to one bundle of shingles if needed
- Repair or replace damaged pipe boots (or upgrade to Perma‑Boots for a small additional cost)
- Re‑seal seams and exposed fasteners
- Adjust or correct flashing issues
- Clear debris from valleys and crickets
- Paint all roof penetrations black for a clean, finished look
If we discover any significant issues outside the standard inspection scope (which is rare), we’ll review everything with you and discuss next steps — no surprises.
Why Roof Inspections & Maintenance Matter
It’s easy to forget about your roof when there’s no visible problem, but roofing issues often start small and worsen over time. A minor leak or loose shingle can lead to major damage if left unaddressed.
Routine roof inspections help:
- Prevent water intrusion and mold growth
- Extend the overall life of your roof
- Identify storm or wear‑related damage early
- Avoid unexpected repair costs
To get the full lifespan out of your roofing system, we recommend scheduling a roof inspection every five years, or sooner after severe weather.
A Common Cause of Roof Leaks: Pipe Boots
Those small PVC or galvanized pipes that extend through your roof may not look important, but they’re one of the leading causes of roof leaks. Traditional pipe boots are exposed to sun, temperature changes, and animals, causing them to dry rot or crack over time.
In fact, significant pipe boot deterioration often occurs within 5 years.
During your next roof inspection, ask about upgrading to Perma‑Boots. This is a permanent solution designed to seal roof penetrations for the life of your roof and reduce the risk of leaks.

Roof Inspection FAQs
How often should I have my roof inspected?
We recommend a professional roof inspection every 5 years to help extend the life of your roof and catch small issues before they turn into costly repairs. You may also want an inspection after severe weather, such as heavy storms or high winds.
What does a professional roof inspection include?
A roof inspection from Trademark Roofing & Gutter includes a hands‑on evaluation of your entire roofing system. We inspect shingles, flashing, sealants, pipe boots, roof penetrations, valleys, and drainage areas, and address minor maintenance items as needed.
Do you get on the roof during the inspection?
Yes. Our inspections are performed on the roof, not just from the ground. This allows us to closely examine shingles, flashing, seams, and penetrations to identify wear or damage that may not be visible otherwise.
Can a roof inspection help prevent leaks?
Absolutely. Many roof leaks start as small, hidden issues — like cracked pipe boots or failing sealant. Routine roof inspections help identify these problem areas early, reducing the risk of water damage to your home.
Is a roof inspection worth it if my roof isn’t leaking?
Yes. Many roofing issues develop long before leaks are visible inside the home. Regular roof inspections help protect your investment, prevent unexpected problems, and ensure your roof reaches its full expected lifespan.
