Unless you’re a certified contractor, most roofing jobs should not be carried out yourself. Additionally remember that the majority of manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof will not warranty those items unless a certified professional carries out the task. The other thing to keep in mind is that working on a roof could be very hazardous, so is it really worth risking your health so you can save money?

It would be really good if we were able to 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 a lot of unique products available and each one will have its own benefits and disadvantages. To figure out which is the ideal roof for your home, you should have an expert come and check out your roof and they can make suggestions based on what they find, your roof design, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely is dependent on the type of roof and what inspections are mandated. Also, bear in mind that we’re working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we cannot work on a number of days then this will certainly add more time to the job. A smaller home may take about a week or so, while larger commercial jobs might be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just ensure your roofing company keeps you updated and you really should be fine.

Since your roof is continuously subjected to the outside elements, it means your roof is going to diminish gradually. The speed at which it degrades will be dependent on a number of variables. Those include; the quality of the initial materials used and the workmanship, the amount of abuse it has to take from the weather, how well the roof is taken care of and the type of roof. Most roofing professionals will quote around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but obviously that can never be guaranteed as a result of the above factors. 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 run the risk of removing any protective materials that have been added to give protection from the weather. Aside from that, you really should try to stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaners as they may also cut down the life of your roof. When you speak with your roof cleaning specialist, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. That will get rid of the unattractive algae and yellowing without destroying the tile or shingles.
