Unless you’re a certified roofing professional, most roofing tasks should never be carried out yourself. In addition remember that a lot of manufacturers of products utilized in the repair of the roof won’t warranty those products unless a licensed professional carries out the work. The other thing to remember is that working on a roof is going to be very hazardous, so is it really worth jeopardizing your health for you to save money?

It would be fantastic if we could give you a straight forward answer to that question! However there actually is no one answer fits all for each question like that. There are so many unique products available and each and every one has its own advantages and disadvantages. To know which is the best roof for you, you should have a contractor come and examine your roof and they can make suggestions according to what they find, your roof design, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It really depends on the type of roof you have and what surveys are required. Also, remember that we’re working outside 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 task. A smaller home could take around a week or so, while much larger industrial jobs can be anything from a few weeks to a number of months. Just be sure your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Because your roof is consistently exposed to the outside elements, it means your roof is will break down over time. The pace at which it degrades will depend on a variety of variables. These include; the quality of the initial components used and the workmanship, the level of abuse it will have to take from the weather, how well the roof is maintained 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 guaranteed because of the above variables. 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 never pressure-wash your roof, as you run the risk of taking off any covering minerals that have been added to provide shielding from the weather. Also, you should stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they may also cut down the life-span of your roof. When you converse with your roof cleaning specialist, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will remove the undesirable algae and discoloration without destroying the tile or shingles.
