Unless you are a trained contractor, the majority of roofing work should never be performed yourself. Also keep in mind that the majority of manufacturers of products used in the roof repair won’t warranty those products unless a licensed roofing contractor carries out the work. Something else to keep in mind is that working on a roof could be very risky, so is it really worth risking your health for you to save money?

It would be really good if we could give you a straight forward response 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 one has its own benefits and faults. To determine which is the best roof for you, you should have a contractor come and examine your roof and they can make recommendations based on what they see, your roof design, the environment you live in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends upon the type of roof and exactly what inspections are needed. Also, remember that we’re working outside in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we cannot work on a number of days then this will add time to the task. A small home might take around a week or so, whereas more substantial commercial projects can be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just be sure your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Because your roof is constantly subjected to the weather, this means your roof is will deteriorate over time. The rate at which it deteriorates will depend upon a number of variables. These include; the grade of the original materials that were used and the workmanship, the level 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 contractors will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but that can never be guaranteed due to the above factors. Our advice is to consistently 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 taking off any covering minerals that have been included to provide cover from the elements. Furthermore, you should stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products since they can easily also reduce the lifespan 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 get rid of the ugly algae and discoloration without ruining the tile or shingles.
