Unless you are a trained roofing professional, most roofing work really should not be performed yourself. Additionally remember that almost all manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof will not warranty those items unless a licensed professional performs the job. The other thing to always remember is that working on a roof may be very dangerous, so is it really worth endangering your health for you to save money?

It would be great if we could give you a simple answer to this question! However, there actually is no one answer that fits all for every question like that. There are many different products readily available and each and every one has its own merits and disadvantages. To know which is the ideal roof for you, you should have an expert come and examine your roof and they can make suggestions based on what they see, the type of roof you have, the climate you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It really depends on the type of roof and exactly what evaluations are needed. Also, bear in mind that we’re working outside in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we just can’t work on particular days then this will definitely add more time to the task. A smaller home may take about a week or so, whereas larger industrial projects may be anything from a few weeks to a few months. Just see to it your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Because your roof is constantly exposed to the outside elements, this means your roof is going to diminish with time. The speed at which it deteriorates will depend upon a range of factors. Those include; the quality of the initial materials that were used along with the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it will have to take from the elements, how well the roof is maintained and the style of the roof. Most roofing companies will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but obviously that can never be guaranteed due to the above variables. Our suggestion 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 run the risk of taking off any covering materials that have been added to provide shielding from the elements. On top of that, you should avoid chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they can also lower the life of your roof. When you speak to your roof cleaning specialist, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. This will remove the unappealing algae and staining without destroying the tile or shingles.
