Unless you’re a qualified contractor, the majority of roofing tasks shouldn’t be performed yourself. Additionally keep in mind that almost all manufacturers of products utilized in the repair of the roof will not warranty those products unless a licensed roofing contractor carries out the task. The other thing to remember is that working on a roof could be very hazardous, so is it really worth risking your health for you to save money?

It would be fantastic if we could give you a straight forward response to that question! But there really is no one answer that fits all for every question like that. There are many unique products available and each has its own benefits and faults. To determine which is the right roof for you, you really should have a professional come and check out your roof and they can make suggestions 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 kind of roof you have and exactly what inspections are mandated. Also, bear in mind that we will be working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we can’t work on certain days then this will add time to the job. A smaller home might take about a week or so, while larger commercial projects can be anything from a few weeks to a few months. Just make sure your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Considering that your roof is consistently exposed to the weather, this means your roof is will deteriorate over time. The rate at which it breaks down will depend on a number of variables. Those include; the grade of the initial components that were used as well as the craftsmanship, the level of abuse it has to take from the weather, how well the roof is maintained and the style of the roof. Most roofing contractors will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but obviously that can never be guaranteed due to the above factors. Our suggestion 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 washing away any protective materials that have been included to provide protection from the elements. Additionally, you really should try to stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products since they can easily also lower the life of your roof. When you communicate with your roof cleaning expert, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. That will clear away the undesirable algae and staining without destroying the tile or shingles.
