Unless you are a qualified roofing professional, the majority of roofing jobs should not be carried out yourself. In addition keep in mind that the majority of manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof won’t warranty those items unless a licensed roofing contractor carries out the work. The other thing to remember is that working on a roof can be very hazardous, so is it really worth endangering your health in order to save money?

It would be great if we could give you a straight forward response to that question! However there actually is no one answer fits all for each question like that. There are a lot of unique products available and each and every one will have its own merits and disadvantages. To figure out which is the best roof for you, you should have an expert come and check out your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they see, the type of roof you have, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It really is dependent on the type of roof you have and what inspections are required. Also, keep in mind that we’re working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we just can’t work on certain days then this will add more time to the task. A smaller home could take around a week or so, whereas larger commercial jobs might be anything from a few weeks to a few months. Just be sure your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Because your roof is always exposed to the outside elements, it means your roof is going to break down with time. The speed at which it degrades will depend on a variety of variables. These include; the grade of the initial materials that were used and the craftsmanship, the level of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is maintained and the design of the roof. Most roofing professionals will quote around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but obviously that can never be promised as a result of the above variables. Our advice is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular roof inspections to be sure it lasts as long as possible.

You shouldn’t ever pressure wash your roof, as you take the risk of removing any protective materials that have been included to provide protection from the elements. Additionally, you should stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products since they could also reduce the lifespan of your roof. When you speak with your roof cleaning professional, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. This will remove the unsightly algae and discoloration without destroying the tile or shingles.
