Unless you are a properly trained roofing professional, the majority of roofing jobs shouldn’t be undertaken yourself. Also keep in mind that a lot of manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof will not warranty those items unless a licensed roofing contractor carries out the task. Something else to bear in mind is that working on a roof is going to be very dangerous, so is it really worth endangering your health so you can save money?

It would be fantastic if we could give you a straight forward response to this question! But there actually is no one answer that fits all for every question like that. There are many different products available and each and every one will have its own merits and faults. To determine which is the right roof for you, you really should have a professional come and take a look at your roof and they can make recommendations based on what they see, the type of roof you have, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends on the type of roof and exactly what surveys are mandated. Also, keep in mind that we will be working outside in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we can’t work on certain days then this will add more time to the task. A small home might take about a week or so, whereas much larger industrial jobs might be anything from a few weeks to a few months. Just ensure that your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Since your roof is always exposed to the weather, it means your roof is going to deteriorate gradually. The speed at which it deteriorates will depend upon a number of factors. Those include; the grade of the original components used and the workmanship, the level of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is taken care of and the type of roof. Most roofing professionals will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but that can never be guaranteed due to the above factors. Our advice is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular checkups to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You shouldn’t ever pressure-wash your roof, as you take the risk of getting rid of any covering minerals that have been added to offer protection from the elements. On top of that, you really should keep away from chlorine-based bleach cleaners as they can also decrease the life-span of your roof. When you communicate with your roof cleaning specialist, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. This will clear away the unappealing algae and staining without destroying the tile or shingles.
