Unless you are a trained roofing professional, the majority of roofing tasks shouldn’t be carried out yourself. In addition bear in mind that most manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof won’t warranty those products unless a licensed roofing contractor performs the job. The other thing to always remember is that working on a roof is going to be very dangerous, so is it really worth risking your health so you can save money?

It would be fantastic if we were able to give you a simple response to that question! However there actually is no single answer that fits all for every question like that. There are plenty of different products readily available and each one has its own benefits and faults. To know which is the ideal roof for your home, you should have an expert come and examine your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they observe, the type of roof you have, the environment you reside in and, of course, your budget.

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

Due to the fact that your roof is always exposed to the weather, it means your roof is will deteriorate with time. The pace at which it degrades will be dependent on a range of factors. Those include; the quality of the initial materials 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 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 checkups to be sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should not ever pressure-wash your roof, as you take the risk of washing away any covering minerals that have been included to give cover from the weather. On top of that, you should stay clear of chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they can easily also lower 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 eliminate the unsightly algae and staining without ruining the tile or shingles.
