Unless you’re a qualified roofing professional, most roofing jobs should not be performed yourself. Additionally keep in mind that most manufacturers of products used in the roof repair will not warranty those products unless a certified roofing contractor carries out the job. Something else to bear in mind is that working on a roof may be very dangerous, so is it really worth jeopardizing your health so you can save money?

It would be fantastic if we could give you a straight forward answer to that question! However there actually is no single answer fits all for each question like that. There are plenty of different products available and each and every one will have its own advantages and disadvantages. To know which is the best roof for your home, you should have a contractor come and take a look at your roof and they can make recommendations based on what they find, the type of roof you have, the climate you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends on the type of roof you have and what evaluations are mandated. Also, bear in mind that we’re working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we just can’t work on certain days then this will add time to the job. A smaller home could take about a week or so, whereas larger industrial projects can be anything from a few weeks to a few months. Just ensure your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Because your roof is continuously exposed to the weather, this means your roof is will degrade with time. The speed at which it breaks down will be dependent on a variety of factors. Those include; the quality of the original materials used as well as the workmanship, the level of abuse it will have to take from the weather, how well the roof is preserved and the design of the roof. Most roofing contractors will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and well-maintained roof, but obviously that can never be promised because of the above variables. Our suggestion is to consistently keep your roof well maintained and get regular inspections to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure-wash your roof, as you take the risk of washing away any protective materials that have been added to give protection from the elements. Additionally, you should keep away from chlorine-based bleach cleaners as they can also cut down the life 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 eliminate the ugly algae and staining without ruining the tile or shingles.
