Unless you’re a trained roofing professional, the majority of roofing tasks really should not be performed yourself. In addition bear in mind that almost all manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof won’t warranty those products unless a certified professional performs the task. Something else to bear in mind is that working on a roof could be very dangerous, so is it really worth risking your health in order to save money?

It would be really good if we were able to give you a simple answer to that question! However there actually is no one answer that fits all for each question like that. There are so many different products available and each has its own benefits and disadvantages. To know which is the best roof for you, you really should have an expert come and take a look at your roof and they can make recommendations based on what they see, your roof design, the environment you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It actually is dependent on the kind of roof you currently have and exactly what surveys are mandated. Also, bear in mind that we’re working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we just can’t work on certain days then this is going to add time to the task. A smaller home could take about a week or so, while much larger industrial projects may be anything from several weeks to a number of months. Just ensure your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Because your roof is continually exposed to the outside elements, this means your roof is will diminish gradually. The pace at which it degrades will depend on a number of factors. These include; the grade of the initial materials that were used as well as the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it will have to take from the elements, how well the roof is maintained and the design of the roof. Most roofing contractors will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but that can never be promised as a result of the above issues. Our suggestion 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 covering minerals that have been added to offer protection from the elements. Aside from that, you really should stay clear of chlorine-based bleach cleaners since they may also lower the lifespan of your roof. When you speak to your roof cleaning professional, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. This will get rid of the unsightly algae and yellowing without ruining the tile or shingles.
