Sunshine Roofing Gutter Cleaning and Once Over Service.

We are offering a Roofing Once Over Service where we clean the roof and gutters of debris and give the roof a look. This roofing maintenance should be done at different intervals ranging from every 3 months to every 12 months. Depending on your specific situation, the Roofing Once Over may need to be done more often rather than less often. The following items are included in the basic Roofing Once Over service. Anything we find that is not included in the Roofing Once Over service itself will be listed and quoted with another service proposal. The object of this service is to attend to the obvious and put experienced eyes on the roof periodically to see if anything is needing attention.

1. Remove Roof Debris from roof – this would include leaves, sticks, newspapers, balls, rocks, etc. from the roof covering.
2. Clean Gutters and Downspouts – Remove all debris from gutters, if downspouts are clogged we will attempt to unclog. It may require coming back as extra work. If there is an extra pipe after the downspout reaches ground, and it is clogged, we will quote in extra proposal or recommend others as needed.
3. Check and Clean Roof Drains and/or Scuppers – Debris gets trapped at these areas. We will check to ensure they are clear. The drain pipes themselves may have to be cleared as well, this may end up at our normal time and material rate. Missing strainers will also be listed.
4. Check and Clean Dryer Vent – Unclog the vent on the roof only. Whatever we can easily reach with our hands. If the duct is also clogged, this will need to be handled by an HVAC service or dryer vent cleaning service. They have tools to get the ducts clean.

The items above are the items included in the Basic Roofing Once Over Service.

The following items we check and bring to your attention if needed. If we find anything we’ll send proposal – report for extra work needed. Then it is your choice – our job is to bring it to your attention! We’ll let you know if it is urgent or not.

• Check for Missing Shingles – Check that the roof covering is in tact.
• Check for Broken Tiles – Count all broken tiles and hip caps. This will be quoted in extra proposal.
• (Metal Roofing) – Check for High Screws – a couple of screws can be handled while we are there, otherwise this will be quoted in the extra proposal.
• Check the Attic Vents for Screens – The attic vents are a rodent access point. Any screens or repairs will be quoted in the extra proposal. This will also include ridgevent end plugs, sometimes they work themselves out and are an open hole for rodents.
• Check for anything obvious – Anything that sticks out to us we will be quoted on the proposal. This will include protruding fasteners, special situations, rodent access, tree cutting recommendations, general items that just don’t look good.

• Gutter or Downspout extensions  – May need to extend the gutter a few feet or adjust/add downspouts. Sometimes small gutter repairs from the mower or just general traffic dings up the elbows and downspout tubes. May need to add a downspout to help drain a section of gutter that gets overloaded easily.
• Roof Drain clogs or clogs past the roof line – If we can’t get it unclogged easily, then a plumber or other service contractor may have to be called in with special equipment.
• Rotten Fascia – rotten fascia is a sign of more trouble. We have found rotten fascia in the past and it can be isolated or further water damage up into the roof.

• Soffit – We usually put an eye on the soffit and see if there are missing pieces or holes. Aluminum soffit is very thin sheet metal and will shift and dent very easily. Wood soffit can have rotten areas or fasteners that rusted out. Stucco soffit can also get holes in the screening.
