Unless you’re a trained contractor, most roofing jobs should never be undertaken yourself. In addition keep in mind that the majority of manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof won’t warranty those products unless a certified professional performs the work. The other thing to bear in mind is that working on a roof can be very dangerous, so is it really worth endangering your health so you can 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 fits all for every question like that. There are plenty of unique products available and each and every one has its own advantages and faults. To determine which is the best roof for you, you ought to have an expert come and take a look at your roof and they can make suggestions based on what they discover, the type of roof you have, the environment you live in and, of course, your budget.

It actually depends upon the kind of roof and exactly what evaluations are mandated. Also, bear in mind that we will be 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 definitely add time to the job. A small home might take around a week or so, whereas more substantial industrial projects may be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just ensure that your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Because your roof is continuously subjected to the weather, this means your roof is going to break down over time. The speed at which it deteriorates will depend on a variety of factors. These include; the quality of the initial materials used along with the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it will have to take from the elements, how well the roof is preserved and the design of the roof. Most roofing professionals will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but that can never be guaranteed because of the above factors. Our advice is to always keep your roof well maintained and get regular inspections to be sure it lasts as long as possible.

You shouldn’t ever pressure-wash your roof, as you run the risk of washing away any covering minerals that have been added to provide cover from the weather. Additionally, you should stay clear of chlorine-based bleach cleaners as they can also decrease the life of your roof. When you communicate with your roof cleaning professional, 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.
