Unless you’re a trained contractor, most roofing work shouldn’t be carried out yourself. In addition bear in mind that most manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof will not warranty those items unless a certified professional carries out the task. The other thing to keep in mind is that working on a roof is going to be very risky, so is it really worth endangering your health in order to save money?

It would be great if we were able to give you a straight forward answer to this question! However there actually is no one answer fits all for each question like that. There are plenty of different products available and each one will have its own benefits and disadvantages. To determine which is the ideal roof for your home, you ought to have an expert come and take a look at your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they observe, the type of roof you have, the environment you live in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends on the kind of roof you have and exactly what surveys are required. Also, bear in mind that we’re working outside in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we cannot work on certain days then this will certainly add time to the job. A smaller home may take about a week or so, while larger commercial jobs might 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.

Considering that your roof is always exposed to the outside elements, it means your roof is will degrade over time. The rate at which it deteriorates will be dependent on a variety of factors. These include; the grade of the initial components used along with the craftsmanship, the level of abuse it will have to take from the elements, how well the roof is taken care of and the design of the roof. Most roofing professionals will quote around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but that can never be guaranteed due to the above factors. Our suggestion is to consistently keep your roof well maintained and get regular roof inspections to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure-wash your roof, as you run the risk of eliminating any protective materials that have been added to offer protection from the elements. Also, you really should keep away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they may also reduce the lifespan of your roof. When you converse with your roof cleaning professional, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. This will remove the aesthetically displeasing algae and staining without damaging the tile or shingles.
