Unless you’re a properly trained roofing professional, most roofing tasks really should not be performed yourself. In addition keep in mind that almost all manufacturers of products used in the roof repair won’t warranty those products unless a certified professional carries out the task. The other thing to always remember is that working on a roof is going to be very hazardous, so is it really worth endangering your health for you to save money?

It would be great if we were able to give you a simple answer to that question! But there really is no single answer fits all for each question like that. There are many unique products available and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. To determine which is the best roof for you, you should have a contractor come and check out your roof and they can make recommendations based on what they discover, the type of roof you have, the environment you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends on the kind of roof and exactly what inspections are needed. Also, bear in mind that we will be working outside in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we just can’t work on particular days then this will add time to the task. A smaller home could take around a week or so, whereas much larger commercial jobs may be anything from a few weeks to a number of months. Just be sure your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Given that your roof is consistently exposed to the outside elements, it means your roof is will diminish with time. The speed at which it breaks down will be dependent on a variety of factors. These include; the quality of the original materials that were used as well as the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is taken care of and the style of the roof. Most roofing companies will quote around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but that can never be promised because of the above variables. Our suggestion is to consistently keep your roof well maintained and get regular roof inspections to be sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure wash your roof, as you take the risk of taking off any covering materials that have been added to provide protection from the weather. On top of that, you really should avoid chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they may also reduce the life-span of your roof. When you speak with your roof cleaning expert, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will clear away the undesirable algae and yellowing without ruining the tile or shingles.
