Gutter repair and clearing, skylight resealing, and pre-purchase or annual inspections — the small jobs that keep a Martinez roof out of trouble.
The small work is what keeps a Martinez roof out of expensive trouble. Gutters that actually move water away from the foundation, skylights that don't seep at the curb, and a documented annual inspection that catches a lifted shingle or a tired boot before it becomes a leak. We clear and repair gutters, reseal and reflash skylights, and hand you a written, photographed inspection report you can actually use.
On Martinez roofs the conditions that matter most — Sheltered location generally mild, but winter storms can bring significant rainfall. Historic homes often have original wood shingles or early asphalt shingles past their lifespan. — are what we plan the work around, not an afterthought.
Every roof in Martinez answers to the same forces: a Sheltered inland bay, 20" annual rainfall, mild year-round, and an aging housing stock dominated by Victorian, Craftsman, county seat historic downtown. The specific local stressors that decide how long a roof actually lasts here: Sheltered location generally mild, but winter storms can bring significant rainfall. Historic homes often have original wood shingles or early asphalt shingles past their lifespan. We've spent enough time on Martinez roofs to know which failure modes show up first, and we plan gutters, skylights & roof inspections around them rather than discovering them halfway through the job.
Once a year, plus after any major Martinez storm. An annual inspection is the cheapest thing you can do to keep a roof on the long end of its lifespan — most of what we find at that stage is a minor fix instead of a five-figure one.
Both. Most Martinez skylight leaks aren't the glass — they're the curb flashing and seal around it, which is roofing work. We reseal and reflash; if the unit itself is failed we'll tell you.
Often, yes. Re-pitching, resealing joints, and rehanging a sagging section solves most Martinez gutter problems. We replace only when the metal itself is shot.
