Unless you’re a certified roofing professional, the majority of roofing tasks should never be undertaken yourself. Additionally bear in mind that almost all manufacturers of products used in the roof repair will not warranty those products unless a certified roofing contractor performs the task. Something else to keep in mind is that working on a roof could be very dangerous, so is it really worth risking your health in order to save money?

It would be really good if we could give you a simple response to that question! However there actually is no one answer that fits all for every question like that. There are a lot of unique products readily available and each and every one will have its own benefits and disadvantages. To know which is the ideal roof for your home, you really should have an expert come and check out your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they discover, your roof design, the climate you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends on the type of roof and exactly what surveys are needed. Also, bear in mind that we’re working outside in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we cannot work on particular days then this is going to add more time to the job. A smaller home might take about a week or so, while much larger industrial jobs might be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just make certain your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Due to the fact that your roof is constantly subjected to the weather, it means your roof is will diminish gradually. The pace at which it deteriorates will depend upon a range of variables. These include; the quality of the initial materials that were used as well as the craftsmanship, 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 contractors will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but obviously that can never be promised due to 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 not ever pressure-wash your roof, as you run the risk of getting rid of any covering materials that have been added to give cover from the elements. Also, you should stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products since they can also lower the lifespan of your roof. When you talk to your roof cleaning expert, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. This will remove the undesirable algae and yellowing without damaging the tile or shingles.
