Unless you’re a properly trained contractor, the majority of roofing jobs shouldn’t be undertaken yourself. Additionally keep in mind that the majority of manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof will not warranty those products unless a certified roofing contractor performs the work. Something else to always remember is that working on a roof is going to be very dangerous, so is it really worth jeopardizing your health for you to save money?

It would be fantastic if we could give you a straight forward response to this question! However there really is no one answer fits all for each question like that. There are many different products readily available and each has its own merits and disadvantages. To determine which is the best roof for you, you should have a professional come and take a look at your roof and they can make suggestions according to what they discover, your roof design, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It really depends upon the kind of roof and exactly what inspections are mandated. Also, keep in mind that we’re working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we cannot work on certain days then this will add time to the job. A small home could take around a week or so, whereas more substantial industrial jobs can be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just be sure your roofing company keeps you updated and you really should be fine.

Considering that your roof is constantly exposed to the outside elements, it means your roof is will degrade over time. The pace at which it breaks down will be dependent on a range of variables. Those include; the grade of the initial materials used and the workmanship, the level of abuse it has to take from the weather, how well the roof is taken care of and the style 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 promised due to the above issues. 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 not ever pressure wash your roof, as you run the risk of removing any protective materials that have been included to offer protection from the weather. On top of that, you really should keep away from chlorine-based bleach cleaners since they can also reduce the life of your roof. When you converse with your roof cleaning professional, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. That will get rid of the unsightly algae and yellowing without damaging the tile or shingles.
