Unless you’re a qualified contractor, the majority of roofing jobs should not be undertaken yourself. Additionally keep in mind that most manufacturers of products used in the roof repair won’t warranty those products unless a certified roofing contractor performs the job. The other thing to keep in mind is that working on a roof may be very risky, so is it really worth jeopardizing your health so you can save money?

It would be really good if we were able to give you a simple answer to this question! But there really is no one answer that fits all for every question like that. There are several different products readily available and each and every one will have its own benefits and faults. To determine which is the right roof for your home, you should have a professional come and check out your roof and they can make recommendations based on what they have seen, 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 surveys are needed. Also, bear in mind that we’re working outside in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we can’t work on particular days then this is going to add time to the task. A smaller home could take around a week or so, whereas more substantial commercial jobs might be anything from a few weeks to a few months. Just make sure your roofing company keeps you updated and you really should be fine.

Considering that your roof is continuously subjected to the outside elements, this means your roof is going to diminish over time. The speed at which it breaks down will depend on a variety of factors. These include; the quality of the initial materials used and the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is maintained and the design of the 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 issues. Our suggestion is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular inspections to be sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure wash your roof, as you take the risk of eliminating any protective minerals that have been included to offer cover from the elements. Additionally, you should try to stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products since they may also diminish the lifespan of your roof. When you converse with your roof cleaning expert, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will eliminate the ugly algae and discoloration without damaging the tile or shingles.
