Unless you’re a qualified contractor, most roofing tasks really should not be performed yourself. Additionally keep in mind that almost all manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof will not warranty those products unless a licensed professional performs the task. The other thing to bear in mind is that working on a roof is going to be very risky, so is it really worth jeopardizing your health for you to save money?

It would be great if we were able to give you a straight forward response to that question! However there actually is no one answer fits all for every question like that. There are several different products readily available and each has its own benefits and faults. To know 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 observe, your roof design, the environment you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It actually depends upon the type of roof and what evaluations are needed. Also, keep in mind that we will be working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we can’t work on certain days then this will definitely add more time to the job. A small home could take about a week or so, whereas more substantial commercial projects could be anything from several weeks to a number of months. Just ensure that your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Because your roof is continuously subjected to the weather, it means your roof is going to break down over time. The pace at which it deteriorates will depend on a variety of variables. Those include; the quality of the original materials that were used as well as the workmanship, the amount of abuse it will have to take from the elements, how well the roof is preserved and the design of the roof. Most roofing companies will quote around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but obviously that can never be promised as a result of the above factors. 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 take the risk of eliminating any protective materials that have been included to give protection from the weather. Also, you should avoid chlorine-based bleach cleaning products since they can also diminish the lifespan of your roof. When you communicate with your roof cleaning professional, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. This will get rid of the unappealing algae and staining without ruining the tile or shingles.
