Unless you’re a trained roofing professional, most roofing tasks shouldn’t be performed yourself. Also always remember that most manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof will not warranty those products unless a licensed roofing contractor performs the task. Something else to remember is that working on a roof can be very risky, so is it really worth jeopardizing your health for you to save money?

It would be fantastic if we could give you a straight forward response to that question! But there actually is no one answer that fits all for each question like that. There are a lot of different products available and each one will have its own merits and faults. To determine which is the ideal roof for your home, you should have an expert come and take a look at your roof and they can make recommendations based on what they have seen, your roof design, the environment you live in and, of course, your budget.

It really depends upon the kind of roof you currently have and what surveys are needed. Also, remember that we’re working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we can’t work on certain days then this will add time to the job. A smaller home may take around a week or so, while much larger industrial projects might be anything from a few weeks to a few months. Just ensure that your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Since your roof is continuously exposed to the outside elements, it means your roof is going to diminish with time. The pace at which it degrades will depend on a number of factors. These include; the quality 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 preserved and the design of the roof. Most roofing contractors will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but obviously that can never be promised as a result of the above factors. Our suggestion is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular inspections to be sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure-wash your roof, as you run the risk of getting rid of any protective materials that have been included to provide protection from the elements. Furthermore, you should avoid chlorine-based bleach cleaners since they may also lower the life-span of your roof. When you speak to your roof cleaning professional, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. That will remove the unappealing algae and staining without ruining the tile or shingles.
