Unless you’re a certified roofing professional, the majority of roofing jobs really should not be performed yourself. Also keep in mind that a large number of manufacturers of products utilized in the repair of the roof will not warranty those products unless a certified professional carries out the job. Something else to keep in mind is that working on a roof is going to be very hazardous, so is it really worth endangering your health for you to save money?

It would be great if we were able to give you a straight forward answer to this question! However there really 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 will have its own benefits and disadvantages. To determine which is the right roof for your home, you should have a professional come and examine your roof and they can make recommendations based on what they have seen, the type of roof you have, the environment you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It really is dependent on the type of roof and what inspections are required. Also, remember that we will be working outside in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we cannot work on certain days then this is going to add more time to the task. A smaller home may take around a week or so, while much larger industrial projects may be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just be sure your roofing company keeps you updated and you really should be fine.

Given that your roof is constantly subjected to the weather, this means your roof is going to break down with time. The speed at which it degrades will be dependent on a number of factors. These include; the grade of the original materials used as well as the craftsmanship, the level of abuse it will have to take from the elements, how well the roof is maintained and the type of roof. Most roofing companies will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but obviously that can never be promised because of the above factors. Our suggestion is to consistently 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 take the risk of taking off any protective minerals that have been added to give cover from the elements. Furthermore, you should avoid chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they can also cut down the life of your roof. When you talk to your roof cleaning professional, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will get rid of the unappealing algae and staining without damaging the tile or shingles.
