Unless you are a certified roofing professional, the majority of roofing jobs shouldn’t be carried out yourself. Also bear in mind that almost all manufacturers of products used in the roof repair won’t warranty those products unless a certified roofing contractor performs the job. Something else to remember is that working on a roof could be very risky, so is it really worth risking your health in order to save money?

It would be great if we could give you a straight forward answer to that question! However, there actually is no single answer that fits all for every question like that. There are a lot of unique products available and each will have its own advantages and disadvantages. To figure out which is the ideal roof for you, you should have a professional come and check out your roof and they can make suggestions based on what they have seen, your roof design, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It really depends upon the type of roof and exactly what evaluations are required. Also, bear in mind that we’re working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we just can’t work on certain days then this will add time to the task. A smaller home may take about a week or so, while much larger industrial projects may be anything from a few weeks to a number of months. Just be sure your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Since your roof is continually exposed to the outside elements, this means your roof is going to deteriorate with time. The speed at which it degrades will depend upon a number of factors. Those include; the quality of the original components used as well as the craftsmanship, the level of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is preserved and the type of roof. Most roofing companies will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and well-maintained roof, but obviously that can never be promised because of 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 run the risk of removing any covering materials that have been included to give protection from the weather. Additionally, you really should stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they can also diminish the life-span of your roof. When you converse with your roof cleaning expert, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. This will eliminate the undesirable algae and yellowing without destroying the tile or shingles.
