How much does a roof maintenance plan cost in Houston?
Three tiers: Basic Care runs $910 for one year, Standard Protection $2,535 over three years, and Premium Guard $5,200 over five years. Each includes scheduled inspections, a repair coverage cap, and priority scheduling. Call (832) 888-1666 for a plan recommendation.
Which maintenance plan fits my roof’s age?
Basic Care suits newer roofs needing routine monitoring, not active repair. Standard Protection is the balance point for roofs entering their second decade under Houston heat and storm cycles. Premium Guard covers older roofs or homeowners planning to stay long-term.
What does the repair coverage cap actually pay for?
The cap — $500, $2,000, or $5,000 depending on tier — applies toward covered repair work identified during your scheduled inspections. It’s a ceiling on repair spend, not a blanket policy, and it doesn’t extend to unrelated storm claims filed through insurance.
Is a maintenance plan the same thing as roof insurance?
No. It’s a prepaid service relationship, not an insurance product. The plan catches deterioration like cracked pipe boots, loose flashing, or granule loss while it’s still a repair rather than a full replacement. Insurance handles sudden events; this handles gradual failure.
How many inspections do I get per year?
Basic Care and Standard Protection include two bi-annual inspections annually. Premium Guard steps up to three quarterly visits per year. Frequency is matched to how fast your specific roof deteriorates, not applied as a flat rule across every Houston home.
Why would my neighbor’s roof need more visits than mine?
Orientation and tree cover. A north-facing slope under heavy canopy holds moisture and collects debris far faster than a south-facing slope in full Houston sun. Your initial assessment factors in material, age, and pitch before any inspection schedule gets set.
What actually happens during a scheduled visit?
Certified technicians perform detailed cleaning and complete minor preventive repairs on the spot — not just a walkthrough. Small issues get resolved during the visit rather than becoming a separate service call. Larger findings are documented with a recommendation.
Do I get a written report after each inspection?
Yes. Every visit ends with a comprehensive digital report including photos and specific next-step recommendations, never a verbal summary at the driveway. That documentation also builds a dated maintenance history, which matters when an insurer questions roof upkeep later.
What if a repair costs more than my coverage cap?
Exclusive member discounts apply to any repair work that falls outside your plan’s coverage cap. You’re not paying standard rates once the cap is reached. See completed roof projects for examples of the repair work covered.
Do plan members get faster service after a storm?
Yes. Priority scheduling is included on every tier and moves your service call ahead of non-member appointments, plus active members get priority emergency response scheduling during severe weather. That gap widens sharply when a named storm fills every Houston roofer’s calendar.
What happens to my plan if I sell my house?
Plans transfer with proof of purchase if you sell your Houston-area home during the coverage term. A documented maintenance history and transferable plan are both selling points during inspection negotiations rather than sunk costs you leave behind.
Are maintenance plans available in The Woodlands and Cypress?
Yes. Achilles serves Houston, The Woodlands, and Cypress from three locations — West Sam Houston Parkway North, a supply yard on Cypress Bend Drive, and an office at Timberloch Place. Start a plan or ask about coverage.
