Unless you’re a certified roofing professional, most roofing jobs should not be performed yourself. Also remember that almost all manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof will not warranty those items unless a certified professional carries out the task. Something else to keep in mind is that working on a roof can be very risky, so is it really worth jeopardizing your health in order to save money?

It would be really good if we could give you a simple answer to this question! But there actually is no single answer that fits all for every question like that. There are plenty of unique products readily available and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. To know which is the ideal roof for your home, you should have a contractor come and examine your roof and they can make suggestions according to what they find, the type of roof you have, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely is dependent on the kind of roof and exactly what evaluations are mandated. Also, keep in mind that we will be working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we can’t work on particular days then this will definitely add more time to the task. A smaller home could take about a week or so, while much larger industrial projects can be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just make sure your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Due to the fact that your roof is continually subjected to the outside elements, this means your roof is going to break down gradually. The pace at which it breaks down will depend upon a variety of variables. These include; the grade of the initial components that were used along with the workmanship, the amount of abuse it will have to take from the weather, how well the roof is taken care of and the style of the roof. Most roofing companies will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-maintained 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 shouldn’t ever pressure wash your roof, as you run the risk of washing away any protective materials that have been added to provide cover from the elements. In addition, you really should stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they may also reduce the lifespan of your roof. When you communicate with your roof cleaning specialist, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will clear away the unsightly algae and yellowing without destroying the tile or shingles.
