Unless you are a trained roofing professional, most roofing work really should not be carried out yourself. Also bear in mind that a large number of manufacturers of products used in the roof repair will not warranty those products unless a certified professional performs the job. The other thing to bear in mind is that working on a roof could be very hazardous, so is it really worth jeopardizing your health in order to save money?

It would be fantastic if we were able to give you a simple answer to this question! However there actually is no one answer that fits all for each question like that. There are so many different products available and each will have its own merits and faults. To know which is the best roof for your home, you should have an expert come and examine your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they have seen, the type of roof you have, the environment you live in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely is dependent on the type of roof you currently have and exactly what evaluations are mandated. Also, keep in mind that we will be working outside in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we cannot work on certain days then this will add time to the task. A smaller home might take around a week or so, whereas larger industrial projects could be anything from a few weeks to a few months. Just ensure that your roofing company keeps you updated and you really should be fine.

Considering that your roof is constantly exposed to the outside elements, this means your roof is going to deteriorate with time. The rate at which it breaks down will be dependent on a variety of variables. Those include; the quality of the original components used as well as the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it will have to take from the weather, how well the roof is maintained and the design of the roof. Most roofing contractors will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and well-maintained roof, but that can never be promised as a result of the above variables. Our suggestion is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular roof inspections to be sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should not ever pressure-wash your roof, as you take the risk of getting rid of any protective materials that have been added to provide shielding from the weather. Additionally, you should steer clear of chlorine-based bleach cleaning products since they can easily also diminish the lifespan of your roof. When you talk to your roof cleaning expert, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. This will remove the unattractive algae and yellowing without damaging the tile or shingles.
