Unless you’re a properly trained contractor, most roofing jobs should never be undertaken yourself. Additionally keep in mind that almost all manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof will not warranty those items unless a licensed professional performs the task. Something else to keep in mind is that working on a roof may be very risky, so is it really worth endangering your health in order to save money?

It would be fantastic 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 each question like that. There are many different products available and each one will have its own advantages and faults. To determine which is the ideal roof for you, you should have an expert come and examine your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they find, the type of roof you have, the environment you live in and, of course, your budget.

It actually is dependent on the type of roof you have and exactly what evaluations are mandated. Also, remember that we’re working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we can’t work on particular days then this will definitely add more time to the task. A smaller home could take about a week or so, while more substantial commercial jobs can be anything from several weeks to a number of months. Just be sure your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Because your roof is consistently subjected to the weather, it means your roof is going to break down gradually. The rate at which it degrades will depend on a range of factors. Those include; the quality of the original materials used along with the workmanship, the amount of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is maintained and the type of roof. Most roofing professionals will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but that can never be promised due to the above issues. Our advice is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular roof inspections to be sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure wash your roof, as you run the risk of eliminating any protective minerals that have been included to provide cover from the weather. Also, you should keep away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they may also decrease the lifespan of your roof. When you speak with your roof cleaning specialist, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. That will clear away the unsightly algae and discoloration without ruining the tile or shingles.
