Unless you’re a trained contractor, the majority of roofing jobs should never be carried out yourself. Also bear in mind that a lot of manufacturers of products used in the roof repair will not warranty those products unless a certified professional performs the job. Something else to always remember is that working on a roof may be very risky, so is it really worth risking your health for you to save money?

It would be fantastic if we could give you a straight forward response to this question! However, there actually is no one answer fits all for every question like that. There are plenty of different products available and each will have its own advantages and faults. To know which is the right roof for you, you really should have an expert come and check out your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they discover, your roof design, the environment you live in and, of course, your budget.

It really depends upon the kind of roof and exactly what inspections are needed. Also, bear in mind that we will be working outside in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we just can’t work on a number of days then this is going to add more time to the job. A smaller home could take about a week or so, while larger industrial projects could be anything from a few weeks to a few months. Just be sure your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Given that your roof is constantly exposed to the weather, it means your roof is going to deteriorate gradually. The rate at which it breaks down will depend upon a range of factors. Those include; the grade of the original materials used and the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is taken care of and the style of the roof. Most roofing professionals will quote around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but obviously that can never be promised 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 not ever pressure-wash your roof, as you run the risk of removing any covering materials that have been added to offer cover from the weather. On top of that, you should try to stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaners as they can also decrease the lifespan of your roof. When you speak with your roof cleaning professional, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. This will clear away the unsightly algae and yellowing without ruining the tile or shingles.
