Unless you’re a trained contractor, the majority of roofing tasks shouldn’t be undertaken yourself. In addition keep in mind that a large number of manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof will not warranty those products unless a certified roofing contractor performs the work. The other thing to always remember is that working on a roof is going to be very hazardous, so is it really worth jeopardizing your health so you can save money?

It would be really good if we were able to give you a simple response to that question! But there really is no single answer fits all for each question like that. There are plenty of different products readily available and each one has its own benefits and disadvantages. To know which is the ideal roof for your home, you should have an expert come and examine your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they find, your roof design, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It actually depends on the kind of roof you currently have and exactly what evaluations are required. Also, remember that we’re working outside in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we can’t work on particular days then this will definitely add time to the job. A small home may take around a week or so, whereas larger industrial projects might be anything from several weeks to a number of months. Just make sure your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Since your roof is constantly subjected to the weather, it means your roof is going to break down gradually. The speed at which it deteriorates will be dependent on a range of variables. These include; the grade of the original materials that were used and the craftsmanship, the level of abuse it will have to take from the weather, how well the roof is preserved and the type of roof. Most roofing contractors will quote around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but 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 make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure-wash your roof, as you take the risk of getting rid of any covering minerals that have been included to give cover from the elements. In addition, you should stay clear of chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they may also decrease the life-span of your roof. When you talk to your roof cleaning expert, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. This will eliminate the aesthetically displeasing algae and discoloration without damaging the tile or shingles.
