10 Roof Maintenance Tips from Jaco Contracting

10 Roof Maintenance Tips That Save Money and Unnecessary Headaches

Installing a new roof can be expensive and it’s usually a major disruption for most Homeowners. That’s why inexpensive inspections and maintenance on a regular basis make perfect sense. A well designed roof maintenance program will keep your roof functioning properly, keep your warranties intact, and ensure that you get the maximum useful life from your roof.

  1. Inspect the roof on a regular basis: Inspections are designed to find minor issues before they become major issues. You should schedule inspections before or after seasonal changes and after major storms. A proper inspection will always include looking in the attic for leaks.
  2. Keep your roof free and clear of debris: minor debris such as leaves, small limbs, and sticks can damage your roof, prevent proper drainage, encourage algae & moss growth, and encourage wood rot.
  3. Inspect / repair seals, joints, and flashing: These are the most frequent spots for leaks and should be regularly inspected for damage. Flashing covers entry points into your roof including the vents, exhaust pipe, and chimney, and it’s often a hotspot for leaks. Look for rust, cracks, and dried out or loose sealant.
  4. Repair problems quickly: Roof problems don’t go away, they just get worse with time and more expensive to fix.
  5. Keep your gutters clear: Gutters are a critical, but often overlooked, part of your roofing system. They allow for the proper drainage that’s necessary for the roof to function properly. When gutters back up, serious water damage and ice damming can occur.
  6. Trim trees away from the roof: Tree limbs hanging down over your roof, or even on it can be a serious hazard. Not only do they put you at risk for broken limbs falling on the roof, they can wear down and damage shingles. Tree limbs can also encourage squirrels and raccoons to gain access to your home. Keep in mind that they may be closer to your home than you think: tree limbs are often flexible and can swing several feet during a storm.
  7. Look for signs of animal and insect damage: Rodents, birds, bats, and bees can cause serious damage to your roof if they decide to make it their home. Inspecting for intrusions can prevent major damage and/or infestations.
  8. If you live in area that experience it, clear heavy snow as quickly as possible: Heavy snow accumulation can cause a roof collapse. If your roof is not shedding snow quickly enough, hire a professional to remove it.
  9. Avoid harsh cleaning methods: Roofs throughout 80% of the US experience discoloration due to algae growth. And while a clean roof looks MUCH better than a stained roof, harsh cleaning methods or repeated cleaning often do more harm than good. NEVER allow high-strength chlorine bleach to be used on your roof. Roof Cleaning should always be done by a trained professional and should always be done in conjunction with a proper roof inspection.
  10. Document your repairs and maintenance: This will help you keep track of your expenses as well as provide you with the proper documentation you may need in the case of a warranty or insurance claim.

With proper maintenance, you can maximize the life of your roof while minimizing the overall cost. This will allow you to save money and avoid unexpected emergencies while keeping your home and family protected.

For best results, consider our very affordable Roof Inspection & Tune Up program. Our Roofing Professionals are trained to address all of these items and more. And if you’re in need of major repairs or roof replacement, our team is licensed, insured, & qualified to handle these - and we’re certified to offer the best warranties in the business.

Jaco Contracting - Authorized Roof-A-Cide® Applicator serving the Metro Atlanta Area


I recently had a chance to speak with Corey Womack & Jake Gresham, Owners of Jaco Contracting Solutions, to discuss their business and what they see as the challenges and opportunities for their company in dealing with homeowners and communities in the Metro Atlanta area.


To start off with, here’s a little background information on Jaco Contracting: 
Jaco Contracting is a General Contracting company that specializes in roofing, new home builds, remodels, insurance claims contracting, and now Roof Cleaning & Roof-A-Cide® Stain Prevention. They have 25 years in the contracting field with 1000's of job under their belt. They strive for customer satisfaction and are always going the extra step to make sure the job is completed with quality.

  1. What separates Jaco Contracting from other Roofing Contractors in your area and who is your ideal customer? 
    Jaco Contracting is a state of Georgia Licensed General Contractor, so in addition to Roofing, our company is licensed, insured, and qualified to handle many other jobs that other Contractors are not- such as gutters, siding, remodeling, water & fire mitigation – in addition to building homes from start to finish. We have a clear reporting structure in place and we have a supervisor on site from start to finish on every job. Our Ideal Customer is someone who appreciates quality and results. Our Ideal Customer also looks for Contractors that value education and are Certified by major manufactures.
  2. What Certifications or Endorsement do you have from Roofing Manufacturers?
    Jaco Contracting is a CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster™ which allows us to offer extended and enhanced warranties. Only 1% of contractors carry this certification. Jaco Contracting is also Certified Shingle Specialist with Owens Corning.
  3. What do you see as your biggest challenges in bringing your services to the people you're trying to serve? In addition to educating Customers to the need for hiring Contractors that are Licensed and Insured, getting Customers to understand the benefits of Roof Cleaning and Maintenance. Many people think that once the roof is installed, they don’t have to do anything anymore and that they’re covered by a warranty if anything happens. But this is not the case. In most instances, the roof warranty REQUIRES periodic inspections and necessary maintenance in order for the warranty to remain intact.
  4. What are the most common problems you see when you’re inspecting roofs?
    Algae moss algae, flashing issues, debris in the valleys which leads to roof rot, as well as cracked & brittle shingles.
  5. Why are these areas more of a problem?
    These are the areas most prone to leaks, so they require regular attention – but most Homeowners don’t realize this. So when we get a call, it’s usually an advanced problem that really could have been headed off a long time ago.
  6. What inspection schedule would you recommend for homeowners and community managers? The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends a yearly inspection, but we find that most homes in the Metro Atlanta area are fine with a two-year inspection cycle.
  7. Why did you choose to offer Roof-A-Cide?
    At first it was because our Customers kept asking what they could do about the dark streaks and stains appearing on their roofs. We tried to educate them on Roof Cleaning, but there weren't a lot of good options and people were justifiably concerned about possible damage associated with roof cleaning. Roof-A-Cide seemed to be the perfect alternative. It’s a long-term preventative product that eliminates the need for repeated cleaning. As long as we apply a light spray to the roof every couple of years, the roof looks great year after year and we never need to worry about pressure cleaning or using harsh chemicals - GUARANTEED. It also eliminates a lot of the concerns people had with regards to landscaping and it’s approved by the largest manufacturers of shingle, concrete & clay tile, and stone-coated metal roofs.
  8. What is your vision for the company – where do you see it in 10-15 years? Our goal is to continue to grow throughout the Metro Atlanta area working Homeowners, Communities, and Businesses to become THE Roofing Contractor that people look for when they expect Quality, Service, & Value.
  9. What areas does your company serve?
    We service all of Metro Atlanta.
  10. How is the best way for a customer to reach you?
    Customers can reach via phone at 770-385-5788 they can reach us through our website: JacoContracting.com

Integrity Pressure Cleaning – A Roof to Curb Service Company


I recently had a chance to speak with Micah Valladares, Owner of Integrity Pressure Cleaning, to discuss his business and what he sees as the challenges and opportunities for homeowners and communities in Central & West Central Florida.

To start off with, here’s a little background on Integrity Pressure Cleaning:
In 1996, after years of working for other pressure cleaning companies, Micah started Integrity Pressure Washing. Determined to create a company that was unique in its focus on Customer Service & Results, Micah began slowly, servicing individual homes and being VERY selective about what type of employees he would hire. Over the last 20 years, this approach has been paying off as they’ve increased their customer base to include HOA & Condo Communities, Apartment Communities, and Commercial Properties.

Can you give me a brief description of your company & what it does?
Integrity is a roof to curb service company helping maintain the value and integrity of the property with a preventative approach that saves money in the long run. We take the headaches away from our customers that are usually associated with cleaning & maintenance. We offer them solutions that not only clean the property, but ones that also extend the life of the roof, paint, and their concrete surfaces.

What are the two main differences that set your company apart from your competition & how do these benefit your customers?
Aside from our 20 years of experience, we’re a full service pressure cleaning company with established Trade Partnerships. This allows us to not only bundle the services we offer (saving our customers time & money), but also allows us to coordinate these services with trusted professionals in related trades such as painting & roofing.

Tell us about your crews.
Integrity Pressure Cleaning has three separate crews servicing West Central Florida from Davenport to Wesley chapel to Sarasota. We Our crews are supervised, uniformed, and bilingual. Each of our employees are trained & tested in four separate areas: Proper equipment use, proper cleaning techniques for various surfaces, safety, and our company philosophy on Customer Service. All of our employees are also covered by Workers’ Comp insurance so our Customers are protected.

What is your experience in the Condo, HOA, & Apartment markets?
We’ve been working with these types of communities since 2004 and we understand the different needs of each type and we strive to learn the unique needs of each specific community. Some of the more notable communities we’ve had the pleasure of working with include Valhalla, Edgewater, Kings Mill, & River Hills Country Club.

Why did you choose to offer Roof-A-Cide?
At first it was because our Customers kept asking for a better alternative to traditional cleaning. When it comes to their roof, people are justifiably concerned about possible damage with repeated roof cleaning. Roof-A-Cide is the perfect alternative. It’s a long-term preventative product that eliminates the need for repeated cleaning. As long as we apply a light spray to the roof every couple of years, the roof looks great year after year and we never need to worry about pressure cleaning or using harsh chemicals - GUARANTEED. It also eliminates a lot of the concerns people had with regards to landscaping and it’s approved by the largest manufacturers of shingle, concrete & clay tile, and stone-coated metal roofs.



What is your vision for the company – where do you see it in 10-15 years?
Our goal is to continue to grow throughout Central Florida working Homeowners, Communities, and Businesses to become THE Premier Cleaning & Maintenance that people look for when they expect Quality, Service, & Value.

Saving Money on Community Maintenance

Are you responsible for the maintenance or replacement of the roofs for a community?  Learn how to best protect the community’s property values and resources.

Roof repairs and maintenance are significant expense items for most Florida communities. Understanding the maintenance requirements and the realistic life expectancy of your roofs (and planning appropriately) will help you and your community with both operating budgets and long-range planning. Being proactive about the repairs and maintenance of your roofs can significantly increase their life expectancy and reduce the overall costs to the Homeowners and Residents. It will minimize disruptions throughout the community, help avoid unnecessary surprises, and it should be considered a “Best Practice” in a well-run community.

Board Members and Community Managers taking this course will learn the basics of roofing and roof maintenance in order to properly plan and allocate a community’s resources effectively.

This is a State Certified CEU Course - 1 Hour Operations or Elecctive

How Can Your HOA Save Money?

If your Homeowner Association is mandating that you and your neighbors keep your roofs clean, but they are not hiring a Professional to service the whole community at the same time, your community is more than likely spending much more than it needs to. 

Group discounts and standardization of services are extremely important in effective management of a community, maintaining property values, and maximizing limited resources.

Example: An HOA with 300 homes that can secure a $100 discount for each of its Residents by coordinating services for the Community has effectively saved its Residents $30,000. This is money that can be better used to offset other expenses or to keep Assessment Increases down.

Many HOA Board Members and Property Managers are reluctant to deal with this issue because they assume that if the Community hires a company to do the work, the Community is then responsible for ANY problems that might be perceived to be related to that work. This is not the case.  
Board Members and Property Managers can help maintain the aesthetics of the community and do their residents a great service, while saving the community significant expense, by hiring a company with the following verifiable qualifications:

  • Licensing
  • Insurance, both Liability and Workers Comp
  • Experience with processes and/or solutions that are safe for the roof and surrounding property 
  • References from properties of similar size and structure 
  • Approval from Manufacturers

Communities can also save significant expense by eliminating the Roof Cleaning altogether. Roof-A-Cide offers the ONLY stain prevention process that has a 20+ year proven track record, is Safe for the Roof and Landscaping, EPA Approved, and Approved by every major Roof Manufacturer.

Roof Cleaning and Maintenance in Orlando & Central Florida

Why do experienced Contractors and Community Managers choose Roof-A-Cide®? Safety, Proven Effectiveness, and GUARANTEED Results!


Example: Coastal Painting Company was contracted to perform the Painting along with the Roof Cleaning & Roof-A-Cide® treatment of the concrete tile roofs of this upscale Orlando community, with 18 large multi-family buildings and a clubhouse in June of 2014.

Work was completed on schedule by Coastal Painting's professionally trained and equipped staff with minimal disruption to the Resort Guests and Staff.

As with all Roof-A-Cide® Treatments, these roofs were GUARANTEED to stay clean for AT LEAST 2 Full Years. And if the property chooses to have the Roof-A-Cide® reapplied every couple of years, these roofs will STAY clean and they'll NEVER need cleaning again!

One year later, in June of 2015, as part of the Roof-A-Cide® inspection & quality control, we inspected and documented the property - which is recorded below.

Professional Roof Cleaning for HOA and Condo Communities

Protect Your Property by learning about your choices in different cleaning methods.

Most Roof Cleaning contractors here in Florida are using high-strength Chlorine Bleach (Pool Chlorine) for Roof Cleaning because it is cheap, fast, and easy. And while some roofing manufacturers recommend using some bleach when cleaning a roof, NONE of them recommend the extremely high strength concentrations that are commonly used throughout Florida and increasingly throughout the US.  There are much safer and more effective ways to maintain your roof.  

Extremely High-Strength Chlorine Bleach solutions usually will not do noticeable damage to actual asphalt roof shingles or concrete roof tiles, but they will do irreversible damage to almost everything else that comprises a roof system – fixtures, flashings, fasteners, gutters, and most importantly the underlayment that covers the roof and serves as the actual waterproofing. This damage usually goes unnoticed for years before the problem is discovered.

This is why you do not see reputable Roofing Professionals using or advocating this dangerous method – but you will find them using other methods that are safer for the roof, safer for the environment, and APPROVED by Roofing Manufacturers.
  • FACT: Both Bleach and TSP will corrode metal (even in weak concentrations) and High-Strength Chlorine Bleach (Pool Chlorine) will accelerate the damage – especially when the roof is not rinsed properly.
  • FACT: Not One Roofing Manufacturer in the US recommends the High-Strength Chlorine Bleach solutions that are being used all over Florida and increasingly throughout the US.
  • FACT: Roofing Manufacturers have approved safer alternatives to Chlorine Bleach for cleaning roofs.
  • Roof-A-Cide® has been approved by the largest manufacturers of Asphalt Shingles, Concrete Tiles, Clay Tiles, Stone-Coated Metal and Slate.
  • Roof-A-Cide® has over 20 years of PROVEN results in HOA & Condo Communities.

Protect yourself and your property by learning why knowledgeable Roofing Professionals, Property Maintenance Professionals, and Community Management Professionals choose Roof-A-Cide® to eliminate the need for Roof Cleaning.

Roof Cleaning on the Treasure Coast



This is an example of what Professional Roof Cleaning can do for a community. This upscale Treasure Coast community was cleaned and treated with Roof-A-Cide® by Coastal Painting Company.

We'll continue to monitor & post their progress. And if they're like most Roof-A-Cide® customers, they'll have these roofs treated every few years, the roofs will look great year after year, they'll NEVER need to be cleaned again, and Roof Cleaning will no longer be the contentious issue it is in many other communities!

No More Roof Cleaning - What does this mean for the Community?
  • Aesthetics - The roofs will look great year after year
  • Costs - Coordinating maintenance lowers overall costs to individual Homeowners
  • Less Disruption - Keeping the roofs clean will only require 2 days every couple of years
  • Water Conservation - Preventing the roofs from getting dirty will require a small fraction of the water needed to clean them
  • Environmentally Safe - Roof-A-Cide® is EPA Approved, safe for the roof, and safe for the environment. It does not contain harsh chemicals like Chlorine Bleach.
  • Longevity - Eliminating any unnecessary wear & tear will help to maximize the life of these roofs

Native Roofing Enterprises, Davie FL

I recently had a chance to speak with Rick Burton, a partner with Jim Anderson in Native Roofing Enterprises, to discuss his business and what he sees as the challenges and opportunities for homeowners and communities in Southeast Florida.



To start off with, here’s a little background information on Native Roofing Enterprises: 
Native Roofing is a licensed Florida Roofing Contractor based in Davie, FL. The company was started in 1996 by Jim Anderson, who began roofing with his father before he was legally able to drive. They are a full-service Roofing Company offering everything Homeowners and Communities might need to install and maintain a quality shingle, tile, or flat roof that will last as long as it was designed to.


What separates Native Roofing Enterprises from other Roofing Contractors in your area?
Aside from being able to offer everything a customer might need with regards to their roof, we strive to develop honest, long-lasting relationships with our customers – we want to be their Contractor For Life. When we assess a roofing project, we tell people the truth – which might not be exactly what they want to hear. And while our prices are very competitive, we earn our customers based on Competence, Quality, and Service. 

Our ideal customer is one that expects quality products and services at a fair price. So we’re not the type of company you’ll see advertising that “We’ll Beat Any Price”. The structural integrity and performance of a roof that protects someone’s family or business here in South Florida is too important to make decisions based solely on the lowest price.


What do you see as your biggest challenges in bringing your services to the people you're trying to serve? 
Getting people to understand the benefits of regular inspection / preventive maintenance and making sure that the roof is in good condition prior to storms. A lot of people don’t seem to want to spend money on these things. But what they don’t realize is that many problems can be detected (and corrected) while they’re relatively minor. If they wait until an issue becomes a Problem, then it’s usually a lot more inconvenient and expensive to fix.


What are the most common problems you see when you’re inspecting roofs?
When people have problems with their roofs, the most common problems they have are with the valleys, flashings, vents, and fascia. Most of these can be avoided with proper installation, which includes using the right products, and a lot more can be avoided with proper maintenance. 

Why are these areas more of a problem?
A lot of these problems are “built in”. When we deal with roofs in planned communities, a lot of times, these roofs were not installed by the developer. They were installed by a subcontractor that was competing on price. And since these subcontractors know that MOST of these roofs will never be properly inspected, shortcuts are taken with the quality of the materials used and the way they’re installed. FYI – When these larger communities are being developed, typically only one out of ten homes are actually inspected properly. 
The other main reason is lack of maintenance or improper maintenance. If you’re not going to maintain your roof at all, you should expect it to fail and need major repairs or replacement up to 10 years earlier than the typical life expectancy of a roof in South Florida - which is 20-25 years. And if you are doing maintenance, but you’re not doing it properly, you could be doing more harm than good. 


Roof cleaning is an example. We see a lot of roofs that are damaged because
the contractors hired to clean them really don’t know how to clean a roof properly. Many use way too much pressure or they use very high-strength chemicals. Both of these methods can be destructive to the very areas of the roof that are already at risk. Note: Roof Cleaning should only be done by Contractors that are licensed, trained, and equipped to do it properly.

What inspection schedule would you recommend for homeowners and community managers?
The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends yearly inspections and in some cases the manufacturer’s warranty requires this as well. But most roofs in South Florida are fine for the first five years. So we recommend an inspection after the first five and then yearly after that.

What areas does your company serve? 
Native Roofing Enterprises currently focuses on Broward and Palm Beach Counties. But we also have customers in Martin and St. Lucie Counties and plan to expand our services in these areas as well.

How is the best way for a customer to reach you?
Our office number is 954-236-9986, our website is NativeRoofing.com, and our customer service email address is CS@NativeRoofing.com. Customers can find a lot more about us and our services on our website as well as on Facebook and LinkedIn.

Is Living in Your HOA or Condo Association More Expensive than it Should Be?

If your Homeowner Association is mandating that you and your neighbors keep your roofs clean, but they are not hiring a Professional to service the whole community at the same time, your community is more than likely spending much more than it needs to. 

Group discounts and standardization of services are extremely important to the effective management of a community, maintaining property values, and maximizing the impact of limited resources.

Example: 
An HOA with 300 homes that can secure a $100 discount for each of its Residents by coordinating services for the Community has effectively saved its Residents $30,000. This is money that can be better used to either offset other expenses or to keep Association Fees down.


Many HOA Board Members and Property Managers are reluctant to deal with this issue because they assume that if the Community hires a company to do the work, the Community is then responsible for ANY problems that might be perceived to be related to that work. This is not the case.  

Board Members and Property Managers can help maintain the aesthetics of the community and do their residents a great service, while saving the community significant expense, by hiring a company with the following verifiable qualifications:

  • Licensing
  • Insurance
  • Experience with processes and/or solutions that are safe for the roof and surrounding property
  • References from properties of similar size and structure
Communities can also save significant expense by eliminating the Roof Cleaning altogether. Roof-A-Cide offers the ONLY stain prevention process that has a 20+ year proven track record, is Safe for the Roof and Landscaping, EPA Approved, and Approved by every major Roof Manufacturer.
