Unless you are a properly trained roofing professional, most roofing jobs should not be undertaken yourself. In addition always remember that a large number of manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof won’t warranty those items unless a licensed roofing contractor performs the task. Something else to keep in mind is that working on a roof may be very hazardous, so is it really worth risking your health in order to save money?

It would be really good if we were able to 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 many different products available and each one has its own merits and disadvantages. To determine which is the ideal roof for your home, you should have an expert come and examine your roof and they can make suggestions based on what they discover, the type of roof you have, the environment you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It actually is dependent on the kind of roof you currently have and what inspections are needed. Also, keep in mind that we’re working outside in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we can’t work on a number of days then this will certainly add time to the job. A small home might take about a week or so, whereas much larger industrial jobs 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.

Considering that your roof is consistently subjected to the weather, this means your roof is going to break down over time. The pace at which it deteriorates will be dependent on a variety of variables. These include; the grade of the initial components that were used along with the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it will have to take from the elements, how well the roof is maintained and the type of roof. Most roofing professionals will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-maintained roof, but that can never be guaranteed due to the above variables. 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 take the risk of taking off any protective minerals that have been included to provide cover from the elements. Additionally, you should avoid chlorine-based bleach cleaners as they can also cut down the life of your roof. When you talk to your roof cleaning expert, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. That will get rid of the undesirable algae and discoloration without destroying the tile or shingles.
