Unless you are a certified contractor, the majority of roofing tasks should not be performed yourself. Additionally remember that most manufacturers of products utilized in the roof repair will not warranty those items unless a licensed professional performs the job. Something else to keep in mind is that working on a roof can be very risky, so is it really worth risking your health for you to save money?

It would be really good if we were able to give you a straight forward response to that question! But there actually is no single answer that fits all for every question like that. There are many unique products readily available and each will have its own advantages and faults. To know which is the best roof for you, you should have a contractor come and check out your roof and they can make suggestions based on what they find, the type of roof you have, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends upon the type of roof you currently have and what inspections are mandated. Also, keep in mind that we’re working outdoors 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 task. A small home may take around a week or so, whereas larger industrial jobs could be anything from a few weeks to a number of months. Just ensure your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you really should be fine.

Since your roof is continuously exposed to the outside elements, this means your roof is will deteriorate with time. The rate at which it breaks down will depend on a range of variables. These include; the quality of the initial materials used and the craftsmanship, the level of abuse it will have to take from the elements, how well the roof is maintained and the design of the roof. Most roofing companies will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but obviously that can never be guaranteed because of the above variables. Our suggestion is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular checkups to make 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 give protection from the elements. Additionally, you should try to stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products since they can also decrease the lifespan of your roof. When you speak to your roof cleaning specialist, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. This will remove the undesirable algae and discoloration without damaging the tile or shingles.
