Unless you’re a properly trained roofing professional, the majority of roofing tasks should not be carried out yourself. Additionally bear in mind that almost all manufacturers of products used in the roof repair won’t warranty those products unless a licensed 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 jeopardizing your health so you can save money?

It would be fantastic if we were able to give you a simple response to that question! However there actually is no single answer fits all for each question like that. There are so many different products available and each has its own advantages and faults. To determine which is the best roof for you, you really should have a contractor come and take a look at your roof and they can make suggestions according to what they find, the type of roof you have, the environment you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely is dependent on the kind of roof you have and exactly what surveys are mandated. Also, remember that we will be working outside in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we can’t work on a number of days then this will certainly add more time to the task. A small home could take around a week or so, whereas much larger commercial projects can be anything from a few weeks to a few months. Just ensure that your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Since your roof is always subjected to the weather, this means your roof is will break down with time. The speed at which it degrades will be dependent on a variety of variables. These include; the grade of the initial components that were used as well as the workmanship, the level of abuse it will have to take from the weather, how well the roof is preserved and the style of the roof. Most roofing contractors will quote around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but that can never be guaranteed because of the above issues. Our advice is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular roof inspections to be sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure wash your roof, as you run the risk of getting rid of any protective materials that have been added to provide shielding from the weather. Also, you really should avoid chlorine-based bleach cleaning products since they can also cut down the life-span of your roof. When you speak with your roof cleaning specialist, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will eliminate the aesthetically displeasing algae and discoloration without destroying the tile or shingles.
