Call NEMA Roofing at 866-631-3366." url: "https://nemaroofing.com/our-services/roof-maintenance/" updated: "2026-09-28" --- # Roof Maintenance in Santa Barbara & Southern California **Roof maintenance in Santa Barbara** is a scheduled visit that finds and fixes the small things before winter rain turns them into leaks: clogged drains and gutters, loose or cracked tiles and shingles, worn sealant, and flashing that has started to lift. NEMA Roofing provides professional roof repair and maintenance for residential and commercial roofs in Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, from five Google-verified locations in Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Woodland Hills, Tarzana and Downey, and handles roof maintenance and repairs as one plan. Call [866-631-3366](tel:866-631-3366) to set up a visit. We have the proper license and resources to provide professional maintenance services. Our certified experts will visit your location, inspect your roof, and document the issues that need prompt attention in a detailed report with photos. Depending on the needs of your roofing project, we can set up semi-annual or annual agreements for your convenience. Roof Maintenance ## Why regular roof maintenance pays Most roof leaks start small: a drain half-blocked by leaves, a pipe boot that has cracked in the sun, a single slipped tile. Each one is cheap to fix on a dry day and expensive once water has soaked the underlayment, the insulation or the ceiling. A properly maintained roof can last 25 to 50 years, and our experts can make it happen. Whether your roof is suffering from clogged drains or needs a metal sheet replacement or repairs for tears, open joints, or punctures, we will respond within 24 hours. Image for post 28152 ## What a maintenance visit covers Our roof maintenance services include the following: - Inspection for roof structural integrity. - Clearing clogged drains and gutters. - Replacing blown-off shingles and cracked tiles. - Repairing minor deficiencies in vents, skylights, pipes, and chimney flashings. - Resealing pitch pans. - Tightening drain bolts if needed. - Replacing metal sheet if required. - Slope and leakage repairs. - Roof coatings. - Trim back landscaping and trees. We use electrical mapping and thermal imaging to find minor issues in roofs that are otherwise hidden. Our maintenance is in accordance with major roofing manufacturers’ specifications and carries a warranty. We use only high-quality materials for repairs that won’t ruin your roof manufacturer’s warranty. ## A roof maintenance program for the local climate | When | What to do, and why | | --- | --- | | Late summer to early fall | The main visit. Clear gutters, valleys and drains after the dry months, reseal flashing and pipe boots, replace broken tiles and lifted shingles before the first storm tests them. | | After a major storm or wind event | Check ridges, edges and flat-roof drains; look in the attic for fresh stains. | | Spring | On commercial and flat roofs, a second visit: drains, seams, rooftop equipment areas, and any damage from winter. | | Every visit near the coast | Look at fasteners, flashing and metal edges, which corrode sooner in salt air. | ## Maintenance by roof type - **Tile:** keep off it, clear debris packed under tiles and in valleys, replace broken pieces, and watch for leaks that point to worn underlayment. See [tile roofing](https://nemaroofing.com/our-services/tile-roofing/). - **Asphalt shingle:** watch for granules in the gutters, lifted tabs after wind and cracked pipe boots. - **Metal:** tighten or replace backed-out fasteners and renew sealant at laps and trim. See [metal roofing](https://nemaroofing.com/our-services/metal-roofing/). - **Flat and low-slope:** keep drains and scuppers clear, and treat water standing 48 hours after rain as a problem to fix, since the California Building Code uses that as the test of proper drainage. See [flat roof repair](https://nemaroofing.com/our-services/flat-roofing/). Metal roofing maintenance ## Comparing roof maintenance services When you compare the best roof maintenance services for your home or building, ask three things: what each visit covers (roof surface, flashing, penetrations, gutters and drains), how the findings are reported to you, and how roof repairs & maintenance items found during a visit are quoted and approved. A good program gives you photos, a short list of what was done and what needs attention next, and a record you can compare from one year to the next. For buildings with tenants, see [commercial roofing](https://nemaroofing.com/our-services/commercial-roofing/). ## Roof maintenance questions ### How often should a roof be maintained? Once a year before the rainy season suits most homes; twice a year suits flat roofs, commercial roofs and homes under trees. ### Can I clean my own gutters and roof? Gutters from a ladder, carefully, yes. Walking on the roof is a different matter: tile breaks underfoot, and any roof is dangerous when damp. ### What if the visit finds a bigger problem? Ask for photos and a separate quote for the repair before approving anything beyond the agreed maintenance. If the roof is near the end of its life, a [full inspection](https://nemaroofing.com/our-services/roof-inspection/) helps decide between repair and replacement.
