Unless you are a certified contractor, the majority of roofing tasks really should not be performed yourself. Additionally remember that the majority of manufacturers of products used in the roof repair won’t warranty those items unless a licensed roofing contractor performs the work. Something else to bear in mind is that working on a roof is going to be very dangerous, so is it really worth endangering your health in order to save money?

It would be really good if we were able to give you a straight forward response to this question! But there actually is no one answer fits all for each question like that. There are several different products readily available and each and every one has its own advantages and disadvantages. To know which is the best roof for your home, you should have an expert come and take a look at your roof and they can make suggestions according to what they find, the type of roof you have, the environment you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It really depends upon the type of roof and exactly what evaluations are needed. Also, bear in mind that we’re working outside in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we cannot work on particular days then this is going to add time to the job. A smaller home may take around a week or so, while larger industrial projects may be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just ensure your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Since your roof is constantly exposed to the outside elements, this means your roof is going to break down gradually. The speed at which it degrades will be dependent on a number of factors. Those include; the quality of the original components used and the workmanship, the amount of abuse it will have to take from the elements, how well the roof is maintained and the style of the roof. Most roofing professionals will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and well-maintained roof, but obviously that can never be guaranteed due to the above issues. Our advice is to always 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 included to provide shielding from the weather. Additionally, you should stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they can also diminish the lifespan of your roof. When you communicate with your roof cleaning expert, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. That will eliminate the unsightly algae and staining without ruining the tile or shingles.
