Unless you are a qualified roofing professional, most roofing tasks should never be carried out yourself. In addition keep in mind that a lot of manufacturers of products used in the roof repair won’t warranty those items unless a certified roofing contractor carries out the job. Something else to remember is that working on a roof can be very dangerous, so is it really worth jeopardizing your health so you can save money?

It would be fantastic if we were able to give you a simple answer to this question! However there really is no single answer that fits all for each question like that. There are so many different products readily available and each will have its own advantages and faults. To figure out which is the ideal roof for you, you should have a contractor come and check out your roof and they can make recommendations based on what they see, the type of roof you have, the climate you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends upon the type of roof you currently have and what inspections are mandated. Also, keep in mind that we will be 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 might take around a week or so, whereas much larger industrial jobs can be anything from a few weeks to a number of months. Just ensure your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Because your roof is consistently subjected to the outside elements, this means your roof is will degrade with time. The speed at which it degrades will depend upon a number of variables. These include; the quality of the original components used and the workmanship, the level of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is maintained and the type of roof. Most roofing companies will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but obviously that can never be guaranteed due to the above variables. Our suggestion is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular inspections to be sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure wash your roof, as you take the risk of removing any covering minerals that have been included to provide cover from the elements. In addition, you really should avoid chlorine-based bleach cleaning products since they can easily also diminish 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. That will eliminate the unappealing algae and yellowing without destroying the tile or shingles.
