Unless you’re a certified contractor, most roofing work should never 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 roofing contractor performs the work. Something else to keep in mind is that working on a roof can be very risky, so is it really worth risking your health so you can save money?

It would be really good if we were able to give you a straight forward answer to this question! However there actually is no one answer that fits all for every question like that. There are a lot of unique products available and each and every one has its own benefits and disadvantages. To know which is the right roof for you, you should have a contractor come and check out your roof and they can make recommendations based on what they see, the type of roof you have, the climate you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It actually depends upon the kind of roof and exactly what inspections are required. Also, remember that we’re working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we cannot work on a number of days then this is going to add time to the job. A smaller home may take about a week or so, whereas larger industrial jobs may be anything from several weeks to a number of months. Just ensure that your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Due to the fact that your roof is always exposed to the weather, it means your roof is will diminish gradually. The speed at which it breaks down will be dependent on a variety of factors. These include; the grade of the initial components used and the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it has to take from the weather, how well the roof is maintained and the style of the roof. Most roofing professionals will quote around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but that can never be promised because of the above issues. Our advice is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular inspections to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure wash your roof, as you run the risk of removing any covering materials that have been added to give protection from the elements. Additionally, you really should stay clear of chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they can also reduce the lifespan of your roof. When you converse with your roof cleaning expert, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will remove the unattractive algae and yellowing without ruining the tile or shingles.
