Unless you are a certified roofing professional, the majority of roofing tasks shouldn’t be carried out yourself. Additionally keep in mind that the majority of manufacturers of products used in the roof repair will not warranty those items unless a licensed roofing contractor performs the work. The other thing to keep in mind is that working on a roof is going to be very hazardous, so is it really worth jeopardizing your health so you can save money?

It would be great if we could give you a simple answer to that question! But there really is no single answer that fits all for every question like that. There are so many different products available and each one has its own benefits and disadvantages. To determine which is the right roof for your home, you should have a contractor come and check out your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they discover, your roof design, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It really is dependent on the kind of roof and exactly what evaluations are needed. Also, keep in mind that we’re working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we cannot work on particular days then this will definitely add time to the job. A smaller home may take about a week or so, while more substantial commercial jobs can be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just see to it your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Considering that your roof is continually subjected to the weather, it means your roof is will degrade gradually. The pace at which it deteriorates will be dependent on a variety of variables. Those include; the quality of the initial materials used as well as the workmanship, the level of abuse it has to take from the weather, how well the roof is preserved and the design of the roof. Most roofing contractors will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but that can never be guaranteed because of the above factors. 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 take the risk of getting rid of any protective materials that have been added to provide protection from the weather. Aside from that, you really should steer clear of chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they could also lower the lifespan of your roof. When you speak to your roof cleaning expert, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. This will remove the undesirable algae and staining without damaging the tile or shingles.
