Unless you are a qualified roofing professional, most roofing tasks should not be carried out yourself. Also bear in mind that most manufacturers of products utilized in the roof repair will not warranty those products unless a certified professional carries out the work. The other thing to bear in mind is that working on a roof can be very hazardous, so is it really worth jeopardizing your health in order to save money?

It would be fantastic if we could give you a simple answer to that question! However, there actually is no single answer that fits all for each question like that. There are plenty of different products readily available and each has its own merits and faults. To figure out which is the right roof for your home, you ought to have an expert come and check out your roof and they can make suggestions based on what they have seen, the type of roof you have, the environment you live in and, of course, your budget.

It actually depends on the type of roof and exactly what inspections are needed. Also, remember that we will be working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we can’t work on particular days then this will add time to the job. A small home might take around a week or so, whereas larger industrial projects can be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just ensure your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Because your roof is continually subjected to the outside elements, this means your roof is going to degrade over time. The rate at which it breaks down will depend upon a number of factors. Those include; the grade of the original components used and the craftsmanship, the level of abuse it has to take from the weather, how well the roof is preserved and the design of the roof. Most roofing professionals will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but obviously that can never be promised because of the above factors. Our suggestion is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular checkups to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure-wash your roof, as you run the risk of washing away any covering materials that have been included to provide cover from the elements. Additionally, you really should steer clear of chlorine-based bleach cleaners since they could also diminish the life-span of your roof. When you talk to your roof cleaning professional, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. That will eliminate the unsightly algae and discoloration without destroying the tile or shingles.
