Unless you’re a properly trained roofing professional, the majority of roofing tasks should not be carried out yourself. Additionally keep in mind that a large number of manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof will not warranty those products unless a certified professional carries out the task. Something else to keep 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 really good if we were able to give you a straight forward response to that question! However, there actually is no single answer that fits all for each question like that. There are several unique products readily available and each one will have its own advantages and disadvantages. To determine which is the right roof for you, you really should have a professional come and take a look at your roof and they can make suggestions according to what they have seen, your roof design, the environment you live in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely is dependent on the type of roof you currently have and what inspections are mandated. 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 a number of days then this is going to add time to the job. A smaller home may take around a week or so, whereas more substantial commercial jobs could be anything from a few weeks to a few months. Just make certain your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you really should be fine.

Due to the fact that your roof is consistently exposed to the weather, it means your roof is will diminish over time. The pace at which it degrades will depend on a variety of factors. These include; the quality of the initial components that were used and the workmanship, the level of abuse it will have to take from the weather, how well the roof is maintained and the style of the roof. Most roofing contractors will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-maintained roof, but that can never be guaranteed 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 eliminating any covering materials that have been added to provide protection from the elements. In addition, you should avoid chlorine-based bleach cleaning products since they may also diminish the lifespan of your roof. When you communicate with your roof cleaning professional, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. That will remove the undesirable algae and staining without ruining the tile or shingles.
