Unless you are a properly trained roofing professional, the majority of roofing jobs should never be carried out yourself. In addition bear in mind that most manufacturers of products utilized in the repair of the roof will not warranty those products unless a licensed roofing contractor carries out the work. Something else to always remember is that working on a roof could be very risky, so is it really worth endangering your health in order to save money?

It would be fantastic if we were able to give you a simple answer to that question! However, there really is no one answer that fits all for every question like that. There are so many unique products readily available and each and every one has its own merits and disadvantages. To know which is the right roof for you, you should have an expert come and check out 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 actually is dependent on the type of roof you currently have and exactly what evaluations are mandated. Also, bear in mind that we’re 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, whereas much larger industrial jobs could be anything from a few weeks to a number of months. Just see to it your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Given that your roof is continuously exposed to the outside elements, it means your roof is will diminish over time. The speed at which it breaks down will depend upon a variety of factors. Those include; the quality of the original materials that were used along with the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it will have to take from the weather, how well the roof is maintained and the design of the roof. Most roofing professionals will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but obviously that can never be guaranteed because of the above factors. 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 eliminating any protective minerals that have been added to give cover from the weather. On top of that, you really should try to stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaners as they could also cut down the life-span of your roof. When you converse with your roof cleaning specialist, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. This will clear away the aesthetically displeasing algae and yellowing without ruining the tile or shingles.
