Unless you’re a qualified roofing professional, most roofing tasks should not be carried out yourself. In addition bear in mind that the majority of manufacturers of products used in the roof repair won’t warranty those products unless a licensed professional performs the task. The other thing to remember is that working on a roof could be very dangerous, so is it really worth endangering your health for you 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 fits all for every question like that. There are many unique products available and each will have its own merits and faults. To know which is the right roof for you, you should have an expert come and check out your roof and they can make suggestions according to what they find, the type of roof you have, the environment you live in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely is dependent on the type of roof and exactly what inspections are needed. Also, remember that we will be working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we just can’t work on certain days then this will definitely add time to the job. A small home could take about a week or so, while much larger commercial jobs might be anything from several weeks to a number of months. Just see to it your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Since your roof is always subjected to the weather, it means your roof is will deteriorate gradually. The rate at which it deteriorates will be dependent on a number of variables. Those include; the quality of the initial components used and the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it will have to take from the weather, how well the roof is preserved and the type of roof. Most roofing companies will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and well-maintained roof, but obviously that can never be promised due to the above factors. Our advice is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular roof inspections to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should not ever pressure-wash your roof, as you run the risk of eliminating any covering minerals that have been added to offer shielding from the elements. Additionally, you should stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products since they may also cut down the life-span of your roof. When you talk to your roof cleaning expert, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will eliminate the unappealing algae and discoloration without ruining the tile or shingles.
