Unless you’re a certified contractor, most roofing jobs really should not be performed yourself. Also remember that most manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof will not warranty those products unless a certified professional performs the job. The other thing to bear in mind is that working on a roof is going to be very dangerous, so is it really worth endangering your health in order to save money?

It would be fantastic if we were able to give you a straight forward response to this question! However there actually is no one answer that fits all for each question like that. There are many different products readily available and each will have its own merits and faults. To know which is the ideal roof for your home, you should have a professional come and examine your roof and they can make suggestions based on what they see, the type of roof you have, the environment you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It actually is dependent on the type of roof you have and exactly what surveys are needed. Also, keep in mind that we’re working outside in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we cannot work on certain days then this will certainly add more time to the job. A smaller home could take about a week or so, while larger industrial jobs may 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 continuously exposed to the weather, it means your roof is going to degrade over time. The rate at which it degrades will be dependent on a variety of variables. Those include; the grade of the initial materials that were used and the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it will have to take from the weather, how well the roof is taken care of and the style of the roof. Most roofing contractors will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but obviously that can never be promised due to the above variables. Our advice 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 take the risk of removing any protective materials that have been added to offer shielding from the weather. On top of that, you should keep away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they could also diminish the life of your roof. When you talk to your roof cleaning specialist, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will eliminate the unsightly algae and yellowing without destroying the tile or shingles.
