What maintenance do I need to do to keep my warranty?

Last updated October 28, 2026

Short answer

Three duties: clean the gutters, clear debris off the roof and trim overhanging branches. Add the two deadlines, registration within 30 days of the treatment and a claim within 60 days of noticing a problem, and that is the whole of what the terms ask.

What the warranty asks of you

Three duties, all of them about water: clean the gutters, clear debris off the roof, and trim overhanging branches.

That is the whole list. There is no inspection interval to log and no product to reapply in between. The list is short because a roof that drains properly is the thing the treatment was applied to protect, and blocked water is the fastest way to undermine it.

The deadlines, and the cure window

Registration happens within 30 days of the treatment, and we handle it after the visit. A problem is reported within 60 days of noticing it.

The other timing belongs to the surface: 24 to 48 hours of dry weather to cure, with nobody on the roof during it. We watch the forecast, plan the visit around the window, and return at no charge if rain arrives inside it.

The care that matters in practice

Most roof problems that are not storm damage are water problems, and most water problems start at an edge, a valley or a gutter that is not clearing. A treated surface sheds water properly, which is the best thing you can do for it.

Growth on shaded slopes is worth removing rather than ignoring: it holds moisture against the surface, which is the opposite of what the treatment is for.

  • Keep gutters and downpipes clear so water leaves the roof
  • Fix a leak when it appears rather than at the end of the season
  • Remove growth from shaded slopes
  • Note the date of any repair so the record stays complete

When to call us instead

If water appears inside, or a shingle lifts, that is a report rather than a maintenance task. The remedy starts with a free inspection, and the first question is where the water or the damage is coming from.

If the roof is simply aging again years later, the answer is a re-treatment, and the warranty includes a 20 percent price lock on that future work.

What other trades should know

Anyone working on the roof should be told the surface is treated, so nothing is stripped or scrubbed that does not need it.
