Unless you’re a trained contractor, most roofing work should never be performed yourself. Additionally bear in mind that the majority of manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof won’t warranty those products unless a licensed roofing contractor performs the work. Something else to bear in mind is that working on a roof could be very risky, so is it really worth endangering your health for you to save money?

It would be fantastic if we were able to give you a straight forward answer to that question! However there actually is no one answer fits all for each question like that. There are several unique products readily available and each one has its own merits and faults. To determine which is the right roof for you, you really should have an expert come and examine your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they find, your roof design, the environment you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It actually is dependent on the kind of roof and exactly what inspections are needed. Also, remember that we’re working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we cannot work on certain days then this is going to add time to the job. A smaller home could take about a week or so, while more substantial industrial jobs can be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just be sure your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you really should be fine.

Given that your roof is always exposed to the weather, this means your roof is going to diminish gradually. The pace at which it deteriorates will depend upon a range of variables. These include; the quality of the initial materials that were used as well as the workmanship, the level of abuse it will have to take from the elements, how well the roof is preserved and the design of the roof. Most roofing companies will quote around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but obviously that can never be guaranteed because of the above variables. Our suggestion is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular checkups to be sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure wash your roof, as you run the risk of removing any covering minerals that have been added to offer shielding from the elements. In addition, you really should try to stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they can also decrease the life of your roof. When you converse with your roof cleaning professional, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. That will clear away the aesthetically displeasing algae and yellowing without destroying the tile or shingles.
