Unless you are a trained contractor, the majority of roofing tasks should not be undertaken yourself. Also remember that the majority of manufacturers of products used in the repair of the roof will not warranty those items unless a licensed roofing contractor performs the task. Something else to always remember is that working on a roof may be very hazardous, so is it really worth endangering your health for you to save money?

It would be great if we could give you a simple answer to this question! However there really is no single answer fits all for each question like that. There are plenty of unique products readily available and each and every one has its own benefits and faults. To figure out which is the right roof for your home, you really should have a professional come and take a look at your roof and they can make suggestions according to what they find, the type of roof you have, the environment you live in and, of course, your budget.

It actually depends on the kind of roof you currently have and exactly what surveys are required. Also, bear in mind that we’re working outside in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we just can’t work on certain days then this will definitely add more time to the job. A small home might take about a week or so, while much larger commercial projects can be anything from several weeks to a number of months. Just make sure your roofing company keeps you updated and you really should be fine.

Considering that your roof is constantly exposed to the weather, this means your roof is going to deteriorate over time. The rate at which it deteriorates will be dependent on a number of factors. Those include; the grade of the original materials that were used as well as the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it will have to take from the elements, how well the roof is taken care of and the style of the roof. Most roofing professionals will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but that can never be promised due to 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 should not ever pressure-wash your roof, as you take the risk of taking off any covering minerals that have been included to offer protection from the elements. On top of that, you should stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaners as they could also cut down the life-span of your roof. When you speak to your roof cleaning expert, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. This will clear away the unpleasant algae and yellowing without damaging the tile or shingles.
