Unless you’re a trained contractor, the majority of roofing jobs should not be undertaken yourself. Additionally bear in mind that a lot of manufacturers of products used in the roof repair won’t warranty those products unless a licensed professional carries out the task. Something else to bear in mind is that working on a roof could be very dangerous, so is it really worth endangering your health in order to save money?

It would be great if we could give you a simple answer to that question! However, there actually is no one answer that fits all for each question like that. There are a lot of different products available and each and every one has its own advantages and disadvantages. To determine 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 climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends on the type of roof and what evaluations are required. Also, keep in mind that we will be 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 job. A smaller home may take about a week or so, while much larger commercial jobs might be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just be sure your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you really should be fine.

Considering that your roof is consistently exposed to the weather, it means your roof is going to break down with time. The pace at which it deteriorates will depend on a range of variables. Those include; the quality of the original materials that were used as well as the workmanship, the amount of abuse it has to take from the weather, how well the roof is maintained and the design of the roof. Most roofing professionals will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but that can never be promised due to the above issues. Our advice is to consistently keep your roof well maintained and get regular checkups to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure-wash your roof, as you run the risk of removing any protective minerals that have been included to offer protection from the weather. On top of that, you really should avoid chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they may also cut down the life of your roof. When you communicate with your roof cleaning specialist, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will remove the unsightly algae and discoloration without ruining the tile or shingles.
