Unless you are a certified roofing professional, most roofing jobs really should not be carried out yourself. In addition bear in mind that a lot of manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof won’t warranty those items unless a certified professional carries out the task. The other thing to always remember is that working on a roof may be very hazardous, so is it really worth endangering 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 single answer fits all for each question like that. There are plenty of different products available and each and every one has its own merits and disadvantages. To figure out which is the right roof for you, you really should have an expert come and examine your roof and they can make suggestions according to what they have seen, your roof design, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends upon the kind of roof and exactly what inspections are needed. Also, bear in mind that we will be working outside 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 smaller home may take around a week or so, whereas larger industrial projects can be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just make sure your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Since your roof is consistently subjected to the weather, it means your roof is will break down gradually. The rate at which it deteriorates will depend on a range of variables. These include; the quality of the initial materials used as well as the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it will have to take from the weather, how well the roof is taken care of and the style of the roof. Most roofing contractors will quote around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but obviously that can never be promised due to the above factors. Our suggestion is to consistently keep your roof well maintained and get regular inspections to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should not ever pressure wash your roof, as you run the risk of washing away any protective minerals that have been included to provide cover from the weather. Also, you really should avoid chlorine-based bleach cleaners since they may also cut down the life of your roof. When you speak with your roof cleaning specialist, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will clear away the unappealing algae and yellowing without ruining the tile or shingles.
