Unless you are a trained roofing professional, most roofing jobs shouldn’t be performed yourself. Also keep in mind that most manufacturers of products utilized in the repair of the roof won’t warranty those items unless a licensed professional carries out the job. Something else to remember is that working on a roof could be very dangerous, so is it really worth risking your health for you to save money?

It would be fantastic if we were able to give you a simple answer to that question! However there really is no one answer fits all for every question like that. There are several unique products readily available and each one will have its own benefits and disadvantages. To determine which is the right roof for you, you should have a contractor 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 reside in and, of course, your budget.

It actually depends upon the type of roof you currently have and what evaluations are needed. Also, keep in mind that we’re working outside in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we cannot work on particular days then this will add more time to the task. A smaller home might take about a week or so, while much larger industrial jobs could be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just ensure that your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Since your roof is always exposed to the outside elements, it means your roof is will deteriorate over time. The speed at which it deteriorates will be dependent on a range of factors. Those include; the grade of the initial components that were used and the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it has to take from the weather, how well the roof is taken care of and the design of the roof. Most roofing companies will quote around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but that can never be promised because of the above issues. Our advice is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular roof inspections to be 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 included to give protection from the weather. On top of that, you should try to stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products since they can easily also lower the lifespan of your roof. When you talk to your roof cleaning expert, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will remove the unsightly algae and discoloration without destroying the tile or shingles.
