Unless you are a certified roofing professional, most roofing work should not be carried out yourself. Also keep in mind that a lot of manufacturers of products used in the roof repair won’t warranty those items unless a licensed professional carries out the work. The other thing to always remember is that working on a roof could be very risky, so is it really worth endangering your health so you can save money?

It would be great if we could give you a straight forward answer to that question! However, there actually is no one answer fits all for every question like that. There are so many unique products available and each one has its own advantages and faults. To figure out which is the ideal roof for you, you should have an expert come and take a look at your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they observe, your roof design, the environment you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends on the type of roof you currently have and what inspections are required. Also, keep in mind that we’re working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we just can’t work on a number of days then this will certainly add time to the job. A small home might take about a week or so, while much larger industrial jobs can be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just see to it your roofing company keeps you updated and you really should be fine.

Because your roof is continuously subjected to the weather, it means your roof is going to degrade over time. The rate at which it degrades will depend upon a range of factors. Those include; the quality of the original materials that were used and the workmanship, the level of abuse it will have to take from the elements, how well the roof is preserved and the style of the roof. Most roofing companies will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and well-maintained roof, but that can never be promised as a result of the above issues. Our advice is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular inspections to be sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should not ever pressure-wash your roof, as you run the risk of removing any covering minerals that have been included to give cover from the weather. Aside from that, you should try to stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they can also decrease the lifespan of your roof. When you speak to your roof cleaning expert, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will get rid of the unappealing algae and staining without ruining the tile or shingles.
