Unless you’re a qualified contractor, most roofing work should never be performed yourself. Additionally remember that most manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof will not warranty those products unless a licensed roofing contractor performs the work. The other thing to always remember is that working on a roof could be very hazardous, so is it really worth jeopardizing your health for you to save money?

It would be fantastic if we were able to give you a simple answer to this question! But there actually is no one answer that fits all for each question like that. There are a lot of different products readily available and each and every one will have its own benefits and disadvantages. To determine which is the ideal roof for you, you ought to have a professional come and take a look at your roof and they can make recommendations based on what they have seen, the type of roof you have, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends upon the type of roof and exactly what evaluations are needed. Also, keep in mind that we’re working outside in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we can’t work on certain days then this will add more time to the job. A smaller home could take around a week or so, whereas more substantial commercial projects might be anything from a few weeks to a few months. Just make sure your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Considering that your roof is consistently subjected to the weather, it means your roof is going to break down gradually. The speed at which it breaks down will depend on a number of variables. Those include; the quality of the initial components that were used and the craftsmanship, the level of abuse it will have to take from the weather, how well the roof is preserved and the design of the roof. Most roofing contractors will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but that can never be guaranteed as a result of the above issues. Our advice is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular inspections to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should not ever pressure wash your roof, as you run the risk of getting rid of any covering materials that have been added to provide shielding from the weather. In addition, you should stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaners as they can also lower the lifespan of your roof. When you talk to your roof cleaning professional, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. This will remove the ugly algae and yellowing without destroying the tile or shingles.
