Unless you’re a trained roofing professional, the majority of roofing jobs should not be undertaken yourself. Additionally bear in mind that a lot of manufacturers of products used in the roof repair will not warranty those products unless a certified roofing contractor carries out the work. The other thing to bear in mind is that working on a roof could be very risky, so is it really worth risking your health in order to save money?

It would be really good if we could give you a simple response to that question! However, there really is no one answer that fits all for every question like that. There are so many different products readily available and each one has its own benefits and disadvantages. To figure out which is the best roof for you, you should have an expert come and check out your roof and they can make recommendations based on what they have seen, the type of roof you have, the environment you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends upon the type of roof you have and exactly what inspections are mandated. Also, keep in mind that we’re working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we cannot work on a number of days then this will certainly add time to the task. A smaller home might take about a week or so, whereas larger commercial jobs may be anything from a few weeks to a few months. Just make sure your roofing company keeps you updated and you really should be fine.

Due to the fact that your roof is consistently subjected to the weather, it means your roof is will deteriorate with time. The rate at which it deteriorates will depend on a range of factors. These include; the grade of the original components used as well as the craftsmanship, the level of abuse it will have to take from the elements, how well the roof is taken care of and the type of roof. Most roofing companies will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but that can never be promised due to the above factors. Our advice is to consistently keep your roof well maintained and get regular inspections to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should not ever pressure wash your roof, as you take the risk of taking off any covering minerals that have been added to give cover from the weather. Aside from that, you should stay clear of chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they may also lower the life-span of your roof. When you speak with your roof cleaning professional, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will get rid of the unpleasant algae and discoloration without ruining the tile or shingles.
