Unless you’re a qualified contractor, the majority of roofing tasks shouldn’t be undertaken yourself. Additionally bear in mind that the majority of manufacturers of products utilized in the repair of the roof won’t warranty those products unless a licensed professional carries out the task. The other thing to bear in mind is that working on a roof could be very risky, so is it really worth risking your health in order to save money?

It would be great if we could give you a straight forward response to this question! However there really is no one answer that fits all for each question like that. There are many different products readily available and each one has its own benefits and disadvantages. To determine which is the right roof for you, you really should have a contractor come and examine your roof and they can make suggestions based on what they discover, your roof design, the environment you live in and, of course, your budget.

It actually is dependent on the kind of roof and what inspections are needed. Also, keep in mind that we’re 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 time to the job. A smaller home may take around a week or so, whereas more substantial commercial jobs could be anything from a few weeks to a number of months. Just see to it your roofing company keeps you updated and you really should be fine.

Due to the fact that your roof is consistently subjected to the weather, it means your roof is going to break down over time. The pace at which it breaks down will be dependent on a range of variables. These include; the quality of the original materials that were used as well as the workmanship, the amount of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is taken care of and the type of roof. Most roofing contractors will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and well-maintained roof, but obviously that can never be guaranteed as a result of the above issues. Our advice is to consistently 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 taking off any protective materials that have been included to offer protection from the weather. On top of that, you really should stay clear of chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they can also lower the life of your roof. When you speak to your roof cleaning professional, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will get rid of the unappealing algae and yellowing without damaging the tile or shingles.
