Unless you are a properly trained contractor, most roofing jobs should never be carried out yourself. Also keep in mind that almost all manufacturers of products used in the roof repair won’t warranty those items unless a licensed roofing contractor performs the task. The other thing to bear in mind is that working on a roof may be very risky, so is it really worth risking your health in order to save money?

It would be fantastic if we were able to give you a simple answer to this question! However, there really is no one answer that fits all for each question like that. There are plenty of unique products available and each one has its own advantages and disadvantages. To figure out which is the best roof for your home, you should have an expert come and check out 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 really is dependent on the kind of roof and what inspections are needed. Also, keep in mind that we will be working outside in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we can’t work on certain days then this is going to add time to the task. A small home could take around a week or so, whereas larger commercial jobs may be anything from several weeks to a number of months. Just be sure your roofing company keeps you updated and you really should be fine.

Considering that your roof is constantly subjected to the outside elements, this means your roof is will deteriorate over time. The speed at which it deteriorates will depend on a variety of variables. These include; the grade of the initial materials used along with the workmanship, the amount of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is maintained and the style of the roof. Most roofing professionals will quote around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but that can never be promised due to the above issues. Our advice is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular inspections to be sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should not ever pressure wash your roof, as you take the risk of eliminating any protective materials that have been added to give cover from the weather. Also, you should avoid chlorine-based bleach cleaners since they can also cut down the life of your roof. When you communicate with your roof cleaning expert, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will eliminate the unattractive algae and staining without destroying the tile or shingles.
