Unless you are a qualified roofing professional, the majority of roofing tasks really should not be undertaken yourself. Additionally bear in mind that almost all manufacturers of products used in the roof repair won’t warranty those items unless a licensed roofing contractor carries out the task. The other thing to always remember is that working on a roof is going to be very hazardous, 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 response to that question! But there really is no single answer fits all for every question like that. There are many different products available and each one has its own merits and disadvantages. To determine which is the best roof for you, you should have a professional come and examine your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they observe, your roof design, the environment you live in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends on the type of roof and what evaluations are required. Also, keep in mind that we will be working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we just can’t work on particular days then this is going to add time to the job. A smaller home may take about a week or so, whereas larger industrial jobs might be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just see to it your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Because your roof is constantly exposed to the weather, this means your roof is will break down with time. The pace at which it deteriorates will be dependent on a variety of factors. Those include; the quality of the initial components used and the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it will have to take from the weather, how well the roof is preserved and the design of the roof. Most roofing professionals will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but that can never be promised because of the above factors. Our suggestion is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular inspections to be sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure-wash your roof, as you take the risk of getting rid of any covering minerals that have been added to provide cover from the elements. Aside from that, you really should avoid chlorine-based bleach cleaners as they can easily also lower the life-span of your roof. When you communicate with your roof cleaning specialist, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. That will eliminate the unsightly algae and yellowing without destroying the tile or shingles.
