Your Roof Doesn’t Need to Leak to Need Attention

For many homeowners, roof maintenance only becomes a concern when there’s a leak. But waiting for damage to show up is like skipping oil changes and hoping your engine lasts forever. At Planchon Roofing Inc., we help homeowners and businesses across San Pablo, CA, and the greater East Bay take a proactive approach that extends roof life, protects property, and saves serious money over time.


Routine roof maintenance is one of the smartest investments you can make in your home or building. With over 70 years of experience behind us, we know how to spot the small issues before they become costly problems.

Why Routine Roof Maintenance Matters

A well-maintained roof can last 5 to 10 years longer than a neglected one. More importantly, it protects everything underneath—from your drywall and electrical to your family or tenants.

Here’s what regular maintenance helps prevent:

What’s Included in a Roof Maintenance Service

Our Routine Maintenance Checklist

We offer seasonal and annual roof maintenance packages tailored to each property’s unique needs. Every visit includes:

  • Full Roof Inspection
    We examine flashing, shingles, tiles, vents, skylights, sealant, and more.
  • Debris Removal
    We clean off leaves, branches, and any blockages that can trap moisture or add weight.
  • Gutter & Downspout Cleaning
    Ensure rainwater flows freely and doesn’t back up onto the roof or foundation.
  • Flashing & Sealant Check
    We reseal around vents, chimneys, and joints where water tends to sneak in.
  • Shingle/Tile Repairs
    Minor fixes were made on the spot to prevent worsening damage.
  • Silicone Coating Inspections (Flat Roofs)
    For clients using silicone roof coatings, we check for wear, bubbling, or weak spots and recommend re-coating as needed.
  • Photo Documentation & Estimate (if repairs needed)
    You’ll always know the condition of your roof and what (if anything) we recommend next.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Maintenance in the East Bay

  • Does Roof Maintenance Actually Extend the Life of My Roof?

    Regular roof maintenance service can add meaningful years to a roof's lifespan by catching minor issues before they compound. Cracked sealant or lifted shingles are inexpensive to address when caught early but can escalate into structural damage after a wet season. Consistent upkeep is one of the most cost-effective decisions a property owner can make.

  • Is Planchon Roofing Licensed to Perform Maintenance in California?

    We hold an active CA State Contractor's License, No. 421131, with Class C39 (Roofing) and Class B (General Building) designations, and are fully bonded and insured. Operating continuously since 1949, we are one of the longest-established family-owned roofing companies in the East Bay, with every maintenance visit backed by decades of hands-on experience with local roof types and building codes.

  • What Roof Types Does Planchon Service During a Maintenance Visit?

    We service asphalt shingles, concrete and clay tile, flat and low-slope systems, cedar shake, and silicone-coated roofs. Our team has direct experience with the diverse housing stock across the East Bay, from post-war tract homes in Richmond to mid-century flat-roof properties in El Cerrito and custom hillside builds in Orinda and Lafayette.

  • Can a Maintenance Visit Catch Dry Rot Before It Becomes a Bigger Problem?

    Dry rot is one of the most underdiagnosed issues in older East Bay homes. Our trained eye during a roof maintenance inspection can catch early-stage wood deterioration before it compromises the roof deck, allowing for targeted repairs rather than costly structural remediation.

  • Does Planchon Roofing Serve Orinda and Contra Costa County?

    We serve Orinda, Lafayette, Martinez, Concord, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, and communities throughout Contra Costa County from our San Pablo, CA base.
