Unless you’re a certified roofing professional, the majority of roofing work should never be carried out yourself. In addition bear in mind that a large number of manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof will not warranty those products unless a licensed professional carries out the work. The other thing to keep in mind is that working on a roof may be very dangerous, so is it really worth risking your health for you to save money?

It would be great if we could give you a simple answer to that question! But there actually is no one answer that fits all for every question like that. There are so many different products readily available and each will have its own merits and disadvantages. To determine which is the ideal roof for your home, you should have an expert come and take a look at your roof and they can make recommendations based on what they have seen, the type of roof you have, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends on the kind of roof you have and what surveys are needed. Also, bear in mind that we’re working outside in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we can’t work on a number of days then this will certainly add more time to the task. A smaller home could take around a week or so, while larger commercial jobs might be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just ensure that your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Because your roof is constantly exposed to the outside elements, it means your roof is will degrade over time. The rate at which it degrades will be dependent on a variety of variables. These include; the grade of the initial materials that were used and the craftsmanship, the level of abuse it will have to take from the weather, how well the roof is maintained and the type of roof. Most roofing contractors will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but that can never be promised due to the above variables. Our suggestion is to consistently keep your roof well maintained and get regular roof inspections to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should not ever pressure-wash your roof, as you run the risk of getting rid of any protective materials that have been included to give protection from the elements. In addition, you really should avoid chlorine-based bleach cleaners as they could also diminish 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. That will remove the unsightly algae and yellowing without ruining the tile or shingles.
