Unless you’re a trained contractor, the majority of roofing jobs really should not be carried out yourself. In addition always remember that a large number of manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof will not warranty those products unless a certified professional performs the task. The other thing to bear in mind is that working on a roof is going to be very hazardous, so is it really worth risking your health so you can save money?

It would be great if we could give you a straight forward answer to that question! But there actually is no single answer fits all for each question like that. There are many different products available and each one has its own advantages and faults. To know which is the best roof for you, you should have a contractor come and examine your roof and they can make suggestions based on what they see, your roof design, the environment you live in and, of course, your budget.

It really depends upon the kind of roof and exactly what evaluations are required. Also, bear in mind that we’re working outside in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we cannot work on particular days then this will add time to the task. A smaller home might take about a week or so, whereas much larger industrial projects can be anything from a few weeks to a number of months. Just make certain your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Considering that your roof is consistently subjected to the outside elements, it means your roof is going to diminish over time. The speed at which it degrades will depend upon a range of variables. These include; the quality of the original components that were used along with the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it will have to take from the elements, how well the roof is preserved and the type of roof. Most roofing professionals will quote around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but that can never be guaranteed because of the above factors. Our suggestion is to consistently keep your roof well maintained and get regular inspections to be sure it lasts as long as possible.

You shouldn’t ever pressure wash your roof, as you take the risk of washing away any covering minerals that have been added to provide protection from the weather. Additionally, you really should stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they could also lower the life-span of your roof. When you speak to your roof cleaning professional, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will remove the aesthetically displeasing algae and yellowing without destroying the tile or shingles.
