Unless you’re a trained roofing professional, the majority of roofing jobs should never be undertaken yourself. In addition bear in mind that the majority of manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof won’t warranty those items unless a certified professional performs the task. The other thing to keep in mind is that working on a roof can be very risky, so is it really worth jeopardizing your health for you to save money?

It would be great if we could give you a straight forward answer to that question! But there actually is no one answer that fits all for every question like that. There are several different products available and each and every one has its own merits and disadvantages. To figure out which is the ideal roof for your home, you should have a professional come and check out 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 definitely depends on the type of roof you currently have and what evaluations are required. Also, remember that we will be working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we cannot work on certain days then this will certainly add time to the task. A smaller home might take about a week or so, whereas much larger industrial projects can be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just be sure 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 degrade over time. The rate at which it degrades will be dependent on a range of variables. Those include; the grade of the initial materials that were used and the craftsmanship, 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 estimate around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but that can never be guaranteed because of the above issues. Our suggestion is to consistently keep your roof well maintained and get regular roof inspections to be sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should not ever pressure wash your roof, as you take the risk of getting rid of any covering materials that have been added to provide shielding from the elements. In addition, you really should stay clear of chlorine-based bleach cleaners as they can also reduce the life-span of your roof. When you converse with your roof cleaning expert, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. That will eliminate the aesthetically displeasing algae and discoloration without damaging the tile or shingles.
