Unless you’re a properly trained contractor, most roofing work really should not be undertaken yourself. Also keep in mind that the majority of manufacturers of products utilized in the repair of the roof will not warranty those products unless a certified roofing contractor carries out the work. Something else to bear in mind is that working on a roof can be very risky, so is it really worth endangering your health in order to save money?

It would be really good if we could give you a straight forward answer to that question! However, there actually is no single answer that fits all for each question like that. There are so many unique products available and each has its own merits and disadvantages. To figure out which is the best roof for you, you should have a professional come and check out your roof and they can make suggestions according to what they observe, the type of roof you have, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It definitely depends upon the kind of roof and what evaluations are mandated. Also, keep in mind that we’re working outside in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we just can’t work on a number of days then this will certainly add more time to the job. A smaller home could take about a week or so, while larger commercial jobs can be anything from several weeks to a number of months. Just be sure your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Considering that your roof is always subjected to the outside elements, it means your roof is going to degrade with time. The pace at which it deteriorates will be dependent on a number of factors. Those include; the grade of the original materials used as well as the craftsmanship, the level of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is taken care of and the design of the roof. Most roofing companies will quote around 20 years for a well-built and properly maintained roof, but that can never be guaranteed 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 shouldn’t ever pressure wash your roof, as you run the risk of taking off any covering minerals that have been added to give cover from the weather. Additionally, you really should keep away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products since they may also reduce the life of your roof. When you converse with your roof cleaning specialist, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. This will clear away the undesirable algae and staining without destroying the tile or shingles.
