Unless you’re a trained roofing professional, most roofing work should never be undertaken yourself. In addition bear in mind that the majority of manufacturers of products used in the roof repair won’t warranty those items unless a certified professional performs the job. The other thing to bear in mind is that working on a roof can be very risky, so is it really worth endangering your health so you can save money?

It would be great if we could give you a straight forward response to that question! However there actually is no single answer fits all for every question like that. There are several unique products readily available and each has its own benefits and faults. To know which is the ideal roof for you, you ought to have a professional come and check out your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they have seen, your roof design, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It actually depends upon the kind of roof and exactly what evaluations are needed. Also, keep in mind that we will be working outside in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we can’t work on a number of days then this will definitely add more time to the job. A small home might take about a week or so, while larger commercial projects can be anything from a few weeks to a few months. Just ensure your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Due to the fact that your roof is continuously subjected to the outside elements, this means your roof is will degrade over time. The rate at which it deteriorates will be dependent on a range of variables. Those include; the quality of the original components that were used as well as the workmanship, the amount of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is taken care of and the design of the roof. Most roofing companies will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but obviously that can never be promised as a result of 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 should never pressure wash your roof, as you take the risk of removing any protective minerals that have been added to provide shielding from the weather. Also, you really should try to stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they could also lower the lifespan of your roof. When you speak to your roof cleaning expert, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. This will clear away the unsightly algae and staining without destroying the tile or shingles.
