The Real Numbers

What neglect costs vs. what maintenance costs.

Without Maintenance

The expensive approach
Roof lifespan shortened 5–10 years
Small issues become structural failures over time
Hidden damage compounds silently
You won't know until water is already inside
Emergency repairs: $3,000–$8,000+
Crisis repairs cost 10x more than preventive fixes
Insurance exposure increases
Uncertified or neglected roofs can affect premiums or coverage
Energy bills rise
Wet insulation and poor ventilation drive HVAC costs up

With Maintenance

The smart investment
Full manufacturer lifespan achieved
20–25 years for asphalt, 40–70 for metal — as designed
Problems caught small and cheap
A $200 repair today prevents a $5,000 repair next year
Annual cost: a few hundred dollars
Twice-yearly visits that pay for themselves many times over
Insurance sees a lower-risk property
Documented maintenance history supports your claims
Energy efficiency maintained year-round
Proper ventilation and sealed insulation keep bills predictable
The average AR Roofing maintenance visit costs a fraction of one emergency repair call. Most homeowners who start a maintenance program tell us it's the smartest roofing decision they ever made.
What We Inspect

What we check during a maintenance visit.

Every visit covers the same thorough checklist. Nothing is skipped because conditions look fine from the ground — most problems are only visible from the roof.

  • Shingle Condition Cracks, curling, missing pieces, and seal integrity along every row
  • Metal Work & Flashing Around pipes, vents, chimneys, skylights, and all roof penetrations
  • Gutter Condition & Debris Clearance, attachment, slope, and drainage performance end-to-end
  • Moss & Algae Growth Assessment and treatment before root systems damage shingles
  • Attic Ventilation Airflow, moisture levels, and temperature — the hidden driver of early roof failure
  • Wood Deck Condition Soft spots, delamination, and rot — inspected from inside the attic when accessible
  • Drainage Performance Water flow patterns, ponding risk, and drainage capacity for Oregon rain season
  • Overall Structural Integrity Ridge line, fascia, and overall roof shape for signs of settlement or movement

You get a written report.

After every visit, you receive a full inspection report with photos showing exactly what we found, what's in good shape, and what we recommend. No ambiguity. No guessing.

No pressure to act immediately on anything that isn't urgent. You get the information — you make the decision.

Recommended Schedule

When to schedule maintenance in Oregon.

Spring Visit
March – April

Post-winter assessment

Oregon winters are hard on roofs. Freeze-thaw cycles, wind events, and five months of continuous rain create damage that compounds if left unaddressed into the dry season.

  • Check for freeze-thaw damage at seams and valleys
  • Assess impact from winter storm events
  • Inspect for moisture buildup in attic
  • Clear winter debris from gutters and valleys
  • Treat any moss growth before it spreads
Fall Visit
September – October

Pre-winter preparation

Going into Oregon's rain season with unresolved issues means five months of water finding every weakness. A fall visit ensures your roof is ready before the first major storm.

  • Clear summer debris and tree buildup from gutters
  • Check and reseal any compromised flashing
  • Verify drainage is ready for heavy rain volume
  • Inspect shingles for summer heat damage
  • Confirm attic ventilation before cold weather
