Unless you are a trained roofing professional, most roofing jobs should never be carried out yourself. Additionally keep in mind that most manufacturers of products utilized in the repair of the roof will not warranty those products unless a certified roofing contractor performs the job. The other thing to keep in mind is that working on a roof could be very risky, so is it really worth risking your health so you can save money?

It would be great if we were able to give you a simple response to this question! However there actually is no single answer that fits all for every question like that. There are so many unique products readily available and each and every one has its own benefits and disadvantages. To know which is the ideal roof for you, you really should have an expert come and take a look at your roof and they can make recommendations based on what they find, your roof design, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It actually depends on the kind of roof you have and what surveys are mandated. Also, keep in mind that we’re working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we just can’t work on particular days then this will definitely add more time to the task. A smaller home might take around a week or so, whereas much larger industrial jobs might be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just ensure that your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Since your roof is constantly subjected to the outside elements, it means your roof is going to degrade over time. The rate at which it degrades will be dependent on a variety of factors. These include; the grade of the initial components used and the workmanship, the level of abuse it will have to take from the elements, how well the roof is maintained and the style of the roof. Most roofing companies will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but obviously that can never be guaranteed because of the above factors. Our advice is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular roof inspections to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure wash your roof, as you run the risk of washing away any protective materials that have been included to give shielding from the weather. On top of that, you should stay clear of chlorine-based bleach cleaning products since they could also lower the lifespan of your roof. When you speak with your roof cleaning specialist, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. This will clear away the aesthetically displeasing algae and discoloration without destroying the tile or shingles.
