Shingle Roof Maintenance.

Most shingle-roof leaks don’t start out in the open part of the roof. They start at the trouble spots: the metal that seals roof edges and joints, the spots where pipes come through, and the seals around skylights and chimneys.

Finished architectural asphalt shingle roof by Paramount Roofing

Overview

Shingles get the attention, but the open field of the roof is the part doing the least work. Water finds the interruptions: where a pipe comes through, where the roof meets a wall, where a skylight or a chimney sits, and anywhere the flashing (the metal that seals roof edges and joints) has been baking and moving for a decade.

A maintenance visit works that list end to end. We clean and prep so sealant bonds to a sound surface, re-seal the openings and wall seams, encase flashing that has worn out, secure or replace fasteners, seal around the skylights and chimneys, then paint the sealed spots to match. The point is to close the small gaps before monsoon season finds them, and the work carries a 3-year Paramount workmanship warranty.

What’s included

What every maintenance visit includes.


01

Clean & prep

We clean and prep the roof surface before any sealant or repair work begins.


02

Seal roof openings & wall seams

Fresh sealant applied to roof openings (the spots where pipes and vents come through) and the seams where the roof meets a wall.

Encase failed or worn flashing

Any failed or worn flashing is fully sealed over to restore a watertight seal.

Secure backed-out fasteners & replace missing screws

We secure backed-out fasteners, replace missing screws, and close every exposed entry point.


05

Replace badly damaged screw washers

The rubber washers under the screws (neoprene washers) that have cracked or failed are replaced so each screw hole stays sealed.

Paint sealed spots to match

The sealed spots are painted to match the surrounding roof for a clean, finished result.

FAQ

Common questions.

What parts of a shingle roof does a maintenance visit cover?
We focus on the details where leaks actually start: the flashing (the metal that seals roof edges and joints), the spots where pipes and vents come through, the seams where the roof meets a wall, skylights, and chimneys, plus screws and the rubber washers under them. We clean, re-seal, seal over any failed flashing, and paint every sealed spot to match.
What is fibered silicone mastic, and should I upgrade to it?
It replaces standard roofing cement at the flashing, the rubber boots around pipes, and the spots where pipes and vents come through with a permanently flexible, sun-resistant sealant. In New Mexico’s desert heat and direct sun, it outlasts conventional products, worth it for spots that see full sun all day.
How long is the workmanship warranty on a maintenance visit?
3 years. For ongoing, annually documented protection (visits that also build the maintenance record manufacturers expect), ask about Paramount Care.
