Unless you are a qualified contractor, most roofing work really should not be performed yourself. Also keep in mind that the majority of manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof won’t warranty those products unless a licensed roofing contractor carries out the work. Something else to bear in mind is that working on a roof may be very dangerous, so is it really worth endangering your health in order to save money?

It would be really good if we could give you a straight forward answer to this question! However there really is no single answer that fits all for every question like that. There are several different products readily available and each one will have its own merits and faults. To figure out which is the right roof for your home, you should have a professional come and check out your roof and they can make recommendations based on what they see, your roof design, the environment you live in and, of course, your budget.

It really is dependent on the kind of roof and what evaluations are needed. Also, keep in mind that we’re working outside in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we can’t work on particular days then this will definitely add more time to the task. A small home may take about a week or so, whereas much larger industrial projects could be anything from several weeks to a number of months. Just ensure that your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Considering that your roof is consistently exposed to the outside elements, this means your roof is going to break down with time. The rate at which it deteriorates will depend upon a number of factors. These include; the grade of the original materials that were used as well as the craftsmanship, the level of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is preserved and the type of roof. Most roofing contractors will quote around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but that can never be guaranteed because of the above variables. Our suggestion is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular 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 covering minerals that have been added to offer protection from the elements. Additionally, you should keep away from chlorine-based bleach cleaners since they may also diminish the life of your roof. When you communicate with your roof cleaning professional, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. This will get rid of the unpleasant algae and discoloration without destroying the tile or shingles.
