Unless you are a qualified roofing professional, most roofing tasks should not be undertaken yourself. Additionally remember that most manufacturers of products used in the roof repair won’t warranty those items unless a certified roofing contractor performs the work. The other thing to remember is that working on a roof could be very dangerous, 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 answer to that question! However there actually is no single answer fits all for every question like that. There are a lot of different products available and each will have its own merits and faults. To figure out which is the ideal roof for your home, you should have a contractor come and take a look at your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they find, the type of roof you have, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends upon the type of roof you have 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 can’t work on certain days then this will definitely add more time to the job. A small home may take about a week or so, while larger industrial projects might be anything from several weeks to a number of months. Just be sure your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Given that your roof is continually subjected to the outside elements, this means your roof is will break down gradually. The pace at which it breaks down will depend on a number of variables. Those include; the quality of the initial components used as well as the workmanship, the level of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is maintained and the type of roof. Most roofing contractors will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and well-maintained roof, but obviously that can never be promised as a result of the above variables. Our advice is to consistently keep your roof well maintained and get regular inspections to be sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure-wash your roof, as you take the risk of washing away any covering materials that have been added to provide cover from the elements. In addition, you should try to stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaners as they may also lower the life of your roof. When you speak with your roof cleaning professional, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will eliminate the aesthetically displeasing algae and staining without damaging the tile or shingles.
