Unless you’re a qualified contractor, the majority of roofing jobs should not be performed yourself. In addition remember that almost all manufacturers of products utilized in the roof repair won’t warranty those items unless a certified roofing contractor carries out the work. The other thing to bear in mind is that working on a roof may be very risky, so is it really worth endangering your health so you can save money?

It would be fantastic if we could give you a straight forward response to that question! However, there really is no single answer that fits all for each question like that. There are several unique products readily available and each and every one has its own merits and faults. To determine which is the ideal roof for you, you should have an expert come and examine your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they see, the type of roof you have, the environment you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely is dependent on the kind of roof you currently have and exactly what inspections are needed. Also, bear in mind that we will be working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we cannot work on particular days then this is going to add more time to the job. A smaller home might take around a week or so, whereas much larger industrial jobs might be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just be sure your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Since your roof is continually exposed to the weather, it means your roof is going to break down gradually. The speed at which it breaks down will depend on a range of variables. Those include; the quality of the original materials that were used as well as the craftsmanship, the level of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is maintained and the style of the roof. Most roofing companies will quote around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but obviously that can never be guaranteed because of the above factors. Our suggestion is to consistently keep your roof well maintained and get regular checkups to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You shouldn’t ever pressure wash your roof, as you run the risk of getting rid of any covering minerals that have been included to provide protection from the elements. On top of that, you really should try to stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaners since they could also reduce the life of your roof. When you speak to your roof cleaning specialist, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. This will clear away the undesirable algae and yellowing without ruining the tile or shingles.
