Preventive roof maintenance · terms published below
Roof Tune-Up in Greater Houston
$199starting price · recommended every 3–5 years
Most roof failures start as something that cost almost nothing to fix — a cracked pipe boot, an unsealed vent, three shingles that came off in a storm and nobody went up to check.
A tune-up deals with those while they are still small, and gives you a photo or video report of what we find. It is preventive maintenance, not a leak repair — and the difference matters, so it is spelled out on this page.

Before you book
Is a tune-up the right thing?
Yes, if
- The roof is sound and you want to keep it that way
- A storm went through and nobody has looked since
- It has been three years or more since the last tune-up
- You are selling, and want the condition documented
No, if
- Water is coming in now — you want emergency repair
- There is a known leak — that is a repair, and repairs start at $150
- The roof is at the end of its life — a tune-up will not change that
Not sure which you have? Say what you are seeing when you call. We would rather send you to the right service than sell you the wrong one.
The service
What the $199 Tune-Up Covers
Everything we find is documented in a photo or video report, whether or not it is something we can fix on the day. Most tune-ups take under two hours.
-
A tune-up in progressResealing and painting a vent stack — this is most of what the $199 buys. -
A vent stack before a tune-upWeathered cap, sealant past its life. Not leaking yet, which is when it is cheap to deal with. -
After: new cap, base resealedSmall work at the details, done before any of it becomes a leak.
Included in the $199
- Vents, flashings and nail holes caulked and sealedWhere the old seal has gone. This is where most leaks start, and it is the core of the service.
- One rubber pipe boot gasket replacedThe collar around vent pipes cracks in Texas sun. The single most common failure we find.
- Up to 3 missing shingle tabs replacedMatched as closely as stock allows. Beyond that, quoted before we touch it.
- Loose shingles tightenedRe-secured before the next storm lifts them further.
- Exposed nail heads repairedNail pops sealed or reset so they stop working through the shingle above.
- Roof surface and valleys cleared of debrisLeaves, branches and litter off the field and out of the valleys.
- Attic, roof, gutter and exterior inspectionEvery slope, plus the attic where there is access. Gutters are inspected and reported on, not cleaned — that is the gutter tune-up.
- Digital photo or video reportSent to you as a link. Yours to keep, whether you book anything else or not.
- $250 toward future repairsCredited to your account when the tune-up is done. Terms below.
Not included
- Active, major leaksA tune-up is preventive. Water coming in now is emergency repair.
- Rotten or corroded flashingResealing a failed flashing does not fix it. Photographed and quoted.
- Extensive broken or missing shinglesDamage beyond three tabs, or across several slopes, is a repair rather than a tune-up.
- Structural damage or rotten deckingReported, photographed and quoted separately.
- Animal damage or infestationUsually needs a specialist before roofing work makes sense.
- Brittle or severely aged roofsSee below — sometimes we will decline the job.
- Gutter cleaningInspected and reported, not cleaned. The gutter tune-up starts at $149.
When we will not do it
On a roof that has gone brittle with age, walking it to perform a tune-up can cause more damage than the tune-up prevents. Old shingles crack underfoot, and sealing a surface that is already failing achieves nothing.
Where that is the case we say so and do not charge you. You get the inspection and the photographs, and an honest conversation about whether the roof needs replacing rather than maintaining.

Terms and conditions
Service Terms, Eligibility and Restrictions
Everything that applies to the $199 roof tune-up, in one place. Please read it before you book — these conditions keep the service safe, keep the price honest, and make sure the tune-up is the right service for your roof.
-
Property type
The $199 tune-up is available for one- and two-story residential buildings only. Three-story buildings are excluded from this promotion for safety reasons and are quoted separately.
-
Home size
The starting price applies to homes up to 3,000 sq ft. Larger homes are quoted separately, and the price is confirmed before we come out.
-
Roof pitch and safety
This promotion applies to safely walkable roofs only. Steep roofs require additional safety equipment and are priced by custom quote. Our technicians’ safety is not negotiable, and a roof we judge unsafe to walk will not be walked.
-
Roof condition
The tune-up is designed for roofs in generally good condition that need preventive maintenance. It is not intended for roofs with extensive existing damage.
Excluded: brittle or severely aged roofs, rotten or corroded flashings, extensive broken or missing shingles, animal damage or infestation, active or major leaks, and structural roof damage. Where we find any of these, we will tell you rather than tune up a roof that cannot benefit from it.
-
Additional damage found during the tune-up
If our inspection reveals damage outside the scope of the tune-up, work stops and we show you the findings with photographs or video. We provide a complimentary, detailed repair estimate, and nothing further is done without your approval.
In some cases an effective repair requires removing the affected flashing, shingles or plywood. Our technicians will assess it, explain it and quote it — you decide.
-
Pricing
$199 is a starting price for a qualifying home and roof as described above. Anything outside it is priced before we start, never after. No deposit, and nothing to pay when you book.
-
100% money-back guarantee
If you are not completely satisfied with the roof tune-up, for any reason, we refund 100% of your $199 payment — without hassle or argument.
-
$250 credit toward future repairs
Applied to your account when the tune-up is complete. Valid toward any future roof repair. No expiration date. May be combined with other promotions where allowed. Transferable to a new owner if you sell your home. It cannot be applied to the $199 tune-up itself.
-
Frequency
We recommend a roof tune-up every three to five years on a roof in good condition — closer to three under mature pine canopy or on an older roof. We will not recommend one more often than the roof needs.
-
Accurate reporting
Inspection reports reflect the actual condition of the roof, without alteration or omission. We reserve the right to decline service where there are attempts to conceal known faults, or pressure to report the roof as better or worse than it is.
-
Service area
Available throughout Greater Houston and our five-county service area, from our Tomball and Spring Branch offices. Not sure we cover you? Call and ask — most homes in the region qualify.

- Spring
- Tomball
- Conroe

- Missouri City

Why these conditions exist: they keep our crews safe, keep the $199 price honest for the roofs it is designed for, and make sure nobody pays for a tune-up on a roof that needs something else. If your roof falls outside them, you still get a straight answer and a quote.
Who books these
Homeowners, Agents and Property Managers
Three different reasons for the same service, and one policy that matters more to two of them than they might expect.
-
Homeowners
Keeping a sound roof sound. Most book one after a storm, or when they realize nobody has been up there since they moved in.
The photo or video report is worth as much as the work — a dated record of the roof’s condition, which matters for a warranty or insurance claim.
-
Real estate professionals
A documented roof condition before listing, so the roof is not the thing that derails a sale at inspection.
A tune-up with a report before listing is a stronger position than an unknown roof and a nervous buyer.
-
Property management
Scheduled preventive maintenance across a portfolio, with a paper trail for each property and each visit.
Managing several properties? Ask about scheduling them together — it keeps the records consistent.
Our integrity and accuracy policy
What we write down is what we found
- Accurate condition reportingEvery inspection report reflects the actual condition of the roof, without alteration or omission.
- Service denial protectionWe reserve the right to decline service where there are attempts to conceal known faults, or pressure for inaccurate reporting.
- Professional standardsThe same standard of service for every client, regardless of circumstance or the tone of the conversation.
- Acting in good faithAll services are provided on a mutual understanding of transparency and honesty about the property’s condition.
It works in the other direction too: we do not invent damage to justify a bigger job. A roof in good condition is reported as a roof in good condition, even when that means no further work for us.
Why this is in your favor
If you are buying, or managing a property for someone else, a report is only worth what the person writing it is prepared to stand behind.
A contractor who will shade a report for one client will shade it for another — and one day that other client is you.
Thirteen years, and no complaint filed with the BBB since 2013. This policy is part of why.
Common questions
Roof Tune-Up Questions, Answered
What homeowners across Greater Houston ask us before they book one.
What is a roof tune-up?
A roof tune-up is preventive maintenance for a roof that is still sound. We reseal the vents, flashings and nail holes where the old sealant has gone, replace a cracked pipe boot gasket and up to three missing shingle tabs, tighten loose shingles, fix exposed nail heads, clear debris, and inspect the attic, roof, gutters and exterior.
You get a photo or video report of what we find. The point is to deal with the small failures that turn into leaks, before they do.
Will a tune-up fix my leak?
No, and that is the most important thing on this page. A tune-up is preventive — it seals what has not failed yet. An active leak needs finding and repairing, which is different work.
If you have water coming in, book emergency repair. If you have a stain but no active drip, a roof repair is the right service, and repairs start at $150.
How often should I have a roof tune-up?
Every three to five years for most roofs in Greater Houston. The sealant and the fixes a tune-up renews do not wear out in twelve months, and selling you one every year would be selling you something you do not need.
Closer to three years under mature pine canopy, on an older roof, or after a run of hail seasons. Closer to five on a newer roof in the open. Gutters and pine needles are different — those need clearing twice a year. More on maintenance timing.
What is included in the $199 roof tune-up?
Caulking and sealing of vents, flashings and nail holes; replacement of one rubber pipe boot gasket; replacement of up to three missing shingle tabs; tightening of loose shingles; repair of exposed nail heads; debris cleared from the roof surface and valleys; an attic, roof, gutter and exterior inspection; and a digital photo or video report.
You also receive a $250 credit toward future repairs. Gutter cleaning is a separate service, the gutter tune-up from $149.
How long does a roof tune-up take?
Most take under two hours on an average-sized home, including the hands-on work and the photographed inspection.
You do not need to be on the roof with us, though attic access helps where there is a hatch. Most people like to be there at the end to go through the findings, but we send the report either way.
What happens if you find something serious?
Work stops and we show you, with photographs or video. You get a complimentary, detailed repair estimate, and you choose whether to go ahead with the repair or just finish the tune-up. No obligation and no hidden fees.
If the honest answer is that the roof needs replacing rather than maintaining, we say so, and we do not charge for the visit that told us.
How does the $250 credit work?
A $250 credit is applied to your account as soon as the tune-up is complete. It can be applied toward any future roof repair, and it has no expiration date.
It can be combined with other promotions where allowed, and it transfers to the new owner if you sell your home. It cannot be applied to the $199 tune-up itself.
What is your satisfaction guarantee?
A 100% money-back guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your roof tune-up, for any reason, we refund 100% of your $199 payment — without hassle or argument.
Is my roof eligible for the $199 tune-up?
It is designed for residential roofs in generally good condition that need preventive maintenance. The home needs to be one or two stories and up to 3,000 sq ft, with a safely walkable roof pitch, no active or major leaks or structural damage, no widespread rot, brittle shingles or animal damage, and it needs to be within our Greater Houston service area.
Steep roofs, larger homes and three-story buildings are quoted separately. If you are unsure, book the inspection and we will give you an honest answer.
Is a tune-up worth it on a newer roof?
On a roof only a few years old with good ventilation, a free inspection is usually plenty and a tune-up may be more than you need yet. On a roof past ten years, it is often the difference between a repair and a replacement.
Tell us how old the roof is when you call and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth booking.
Does a tune-up help with my manufacturer warranty?
It can. Most manufacturer warranties, GAF included, require the roof to be maintained, and a claim can be reduced or refused where neglect contributed to the failure.
A documented inspection report gives you the documented maintenance record a manufacturer or insurer asks for.
