Unless you’re a certified contractor, the majority of roofing tasks should never be carried out yourself. In addition always remember that most manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof will not warranty those products unless a licensed roofing contractor performs the task. Something else to always remember is that working on a roof could be very risky, so is it really worth jeopardizing your health for you to save money?

It would be really good if we were able to 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 so many unique products available and each will have its own merits and faults. To figure out which is the best roof for your home, you ought to have a contractor come and examine your roof and they can make suggestions according to what they have seen, the type of roof you have, the climate you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends upon the kind of roof you have and what surveys are needed. Also, bear in mind that we will be working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we just can’t work on certain days then this is going to add time to the job. A smaller home may take about a week or so, while more substantial commercial projects could be anything from a few weeks to a few months. Just ensure that your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Given that your roof is continually subjected to the weather, it means your roof is will deteriorate with time. The pace at which it deteriorates will be dependent on a number of variables. Those include; the grade of the initial materials that were used as well as the workmanship, the amount of abuse it has to take from the weather, how well the roof is taken care of and the type of roof. Most roofing companies will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but obviously that can never be promised because of the above factors. 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 not ever pressure wash your roof, as you take the risk of taking off any covering minerals that have been included to give protection from the elements. Furthermore, you should stay clear of chlorine-based bleach cleaners since they could also reduce the life of your roof. When you speak to your roof cleaning expert, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. This will eliminate the unsightly algae and discoloration without destroying the tile or shingles.
