Unless you are a properly trained roofing professional, the majority of roofing work shouldn’t be undertaken yourself. Additionally bear in mind that a lot of manufacturers of products used in the roof repair won’t warranty those products unless a licensed roofing contractor carries out the task. The other thing to bear in mind is that working on a roof can be very dangerous, so is it really worth endangering your health in order to save money?

It would be fantastic if we were able to give you a straight forward answer to that question! However there actually is no single answer fits all for each question like that. There are many different products available and each and every one will have its own merits and faults. To figure out which is the ideal roof for your home, you should have a contractor come and check out your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they find, the type of roof you have, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends on the kind of roof you have and what inspections are mandated. Also, remember that we will be working outside in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we can’t work on a number of days then this will certainly add more time to the task. A small home may take about a week or so, while much larger industrial jobs could be anything from a few weeks to a few months. Just ensure your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Considering that your roof is consistently subjected to the outside elements, it means your roof is going to break down with time. The pace at which it deteriorates will depend upon a number of factors. Those include; the grade of the original materials that were used along with the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is preserved and the style of the roof. Most roofing companies will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-maintained roof, but obviously that can never be promised because of the above factors. Our advice is to consistently keep your roof well maintained and get regular roof inspections to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure wash your roof, as you take the risk of removing any protective minerals that have been added to give cover from the weather. Aside from that, you really should steer clear of chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they may also diminish the lifespan of your roof. When you speak with your roof cleaning specialist, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. This will eliminate the aesthetically displeasing algae and yellowing without ruining the tile or shingles.
