Unless you’re a certified contractor, the majority of roofing tasks should not be carried out yourself. In addition remember that a lot of manufacturers of products used in the roof repair won’t warranty those items unless a certified roofing contractor carries out the work. Something else to remember is that working on a roof can be very risky, so is it really worth jeopardizing 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 one answer fits all for every question like that. There are a lot of unique 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 really should have an expert come and check out your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they find, your roof design, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It actually is dependent on the type of roof and exactly what surveys are mandated. Also, bear in mind that we’re working outside in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we just can’t work on particular days then this will add time to the task. A small home could take about a week or so, while much larger commercial jobs could be anything from several weeks to a number of months. Just ensure your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Since your roof is always subjected to the outside elements, this means your roof is going to deteriorate with time. The speed at which it degrades will be dependent on a number of factors. Those include; the quality of the original materials that were used along with the workmanship, the amount of abuse it has to take from the weather, how well the roof is taken care of and the design of the roof. Most roofing contractors will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and well-maintained roof, but obviously that can never be guaranteed because of the above factors. Our advice is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular roof inspections to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure wash your roof, as you take the risk of getting rid of any protective minerals that have been included to provide protection from the elements. Also, you should keep away from chlorine-based bleach cleaners as they could also lower the life of your roof. When you speak with your roof cleaning professional, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. That will get rid of the unappealing algae and staining without destroying the tile or shingles.
