Unless you’re a certified contractor, most roofing tasks should not be undertaken yourself. Also always remember that a large number of manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof won’t warranty those items unless a certified roofing contractor performs the job. Something else to keep in mind is that working on a roof could be very hazardous, so is it really worth endangering your health for you to save money?

It would be great if we were able to give you a simple response to this question! However there actually is no one answer fits all for each question like that. There are plenty of unique products available and each and every one will have its own benefits and faults. To figure out which is the best roof for you, you should have an expert come and examine your roof and they can make suggestions according to what they have seen, the type of roof you have, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It actually depends upon the type of roof you currently have and what surveys are required. Also, keep in mind that we will be working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we cannot work on certain days then this will add more time to the task. A smaller home could take about a week or so, while much larger industrial jobs could be anything from several weeks to a number of months. Just ensure your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Given that your roof is consistently subjected to the weather, it means your roof is going to diminish over time. The speed at which it degrades will depend on a variety of variables. These include; the quality of the original materials used as well as the workmanship, the level of abuse it will have to take from the weather, how well the roof is maintained and the style of the roof. Most roofing companies will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but that can never be promised because of the above factors. Our advice is to always 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 materials that have been included to offer shielding from the elements. On top of that, you really should stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaners since they can easily also cut down the lifespan of your roof. When you communicate with your roof cleaning expert, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will clear away the unattractive algae and discoloration without ruining the tile or shingles.
