Unless you’re a properly trained roofing professional, most roofing jobs shouldn’t be carried out yourself. Additionally bear in mind that almost all manufacturers of products utilized in the repair of the roof will not warranty those products unless a licensed professional performs the task. The other thing to bear in mind is that working on a roof may be very dangerous, 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 simple answer to that question! But there actually is no single answer fits all for each question like that. There are a lot of unique products readily available and each one will have its own advantages and faults. To determine which is the ideal roof for you, you should have a professional come and examine your roof and they can make suggestions based on what they observe, the type of roof you have, the environment you live in and, of course, your budget.

It actually depends on the kind of roof and exactly what evaluations are needed. Also, remember that we will be working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we cannot 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 jobs can be anything from several weeks to a number of months. Just be sure your roofing company keeps you updated and you really should be fine.

Considering that your roof is continuously exposed to the outside elements, it means your roof is will break down over time. The rate at which it deteriorates will depend upon a range of factors. These include; the quality of the original materials that were used along with the workmanship, the level of abuse it has to take from the weather, how well the roof is taken care of 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 due to the above factors. 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 shouldn’t ever pressure wash your roof, as you take the risk of eliminating any protective materials that have been included to provide protection from the elements. Also, you should try to stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products since they can also reduce the life-span of your roof. When you speak with your roof cleaning professional, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will clear away the ugly algae and yellowing without ruining the tile or shingles.
