Unless you’re a trained roofing professional, most roofing work really should not be undertaken yourself. In addition remember that a large number of manufacturers of products used in the roof repair will not warranty those products unless a licensed roofing contractor carries out the work. The other thing to keep in mind 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 really good if we could give you a straight forward response to this question! However, there really is no single answer that fits all for every question like that. There are plenty of different products readily available and each one will have its own benefits and disadvantages. To figure out which is the best roof for you, you ought to have a contractor come and check out your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they observe, your roof design, the environment you live in and, of course, your budget.

It really depends upon the kind of roof and what inspections are needed. Also, remember that we will be working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we cannot work on a number of days then this will definitely add more time to the task. A small home could take about a week or so, while larger industrial projects may be anything from several weeks to a number of months. Just ensure your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Because your roof is constantly exposed to the outside elements, this means your roof is going to deteriorate gradually. The rate at which it deteriorates will depend upon a number of factors. Those include; the grade of the original components used as well as the craftsmanship, the amount 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 quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-maintained roof, but obviously that can never be guaranteed due to the above variables. Our suggestion 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 run the risk of getting rid of any protective minerals that have been added to give cover from the weather. Aside from that, you really should try to stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they can also lower the lifespan of your roof. When you speak to your roof cleaning expert, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will get rid of the unattractive algae and discoloration without damaging the tile or shingles.
