Unless you are a properly trained roofing professional, most roofing tasks really should not be undertaken yourself. Also keep in mind that almost all manufacturers of products utilized in the repair of the roof won’t warranty those products unless a licensed roofing contractor carries out the work. Something else to bear in mind is that working on a roof is going to be very risky, so is it really worth endangering your health for you to save money?

It would be great if we were able to give you a straight forward answer to that question! However there really is no one answer that fits all for every question like that. There are so many different products available and each and every one has its own advantages and disadvantages. To determine which is the best roof for your home, you ought to have an expert come and check out your roof and they can make recommendations based on what they see, your roof design, the environment you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It actually is dependent on the kind of roof and exactly what evaluations are needed. Also, keep in mind that we’re 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 more time to the job. A smaller home may take around a week or so, while more substantial industrial jobs may be anything from a few weeks to a few months. Just be sure your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Given that your roof is constantly exposed to the outside elements, it means your roof is going to break down with time. The pace at which it breaks down will be dependent on a number of variables. These include; the quality of the original components that were used and the workmanship, the amount of abuse it will have to take from the weather, how well the roof is maintained and the type of roof. Most roofing companies will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-maintained roof, but that can never be promised due to the above issues. Our advice is to consistently 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 washing away any protective minerals that have been included to provide shielding from the weather. Also, you really should avoid chlorine-based bleach cleaners as they could also lower the life-span of your roof. When you speak to your roof cleaning professional, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. That will get rid of the aesthetically displeasing algae and yellowing without destroying the tile or shingles.
