Unless you are a trained contractor, most roofing jobs should not be carried out yourself. Also bear in mind that a lot of manufacturers of products utilized in the roof repair will not warranty those items unless a licensed professional performs the job. Something else to always remember is that working on a roof is going to be very hazardous, so is it really worth risking your health in order to save money?

It would be great if we could give you a straight forward response to this question! But there actually is no single answer fits all for each question like that. There are plenty of different products readily available and each one has its own merits and faults. To figure out which is the ideal roof for your home, you should have a professional come and examine your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they have seen, your roof design, the climate you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It really is dependent on the type of roof you have and what inspections are required. Also, bear in mind that we’re working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we cannot work on certain days then this is going to add time to the task. A small home may take around a week or so, whereas more substantial industrial projects could be anything from a few weeks to a number of months. Just make certain your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Because your roof is consistently exposed to the weather, this means your roof is will break down gradually. The rate at which it deteriorates will depend on a number of factors. These include; the grade of the original components that were used along with the workmanship, the amount of abuse it will have to take from the weather, how well the roof is taken care of and the style 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 promised due to the above factors. Our suggestion is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular roof inspections to be sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure-wash your roof, as you run the risk of taking off any protective minerals that have been added to give protection from the elements. Additionally, you should keep away from chlorine-based bleach cleaners as they may also lower the lifespan of your roof. When you speak to your roof cleaning expert, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. That will remove the aesthetically displeasing algae and yellowing without damaging the tile or shingles.
