Unless you are a certified contractor, most roofing work should not be performed yourself. Also always remember that almost all manufacturers of products used in the roof repair won’t warranty those items unless a licensed professional carries out the job. The other thing to always remember is that working on a roof is going to be very dangerous, so is it really worth endangering your health in order to save money?

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

It actually depends upon the type of roof and exactly what surveys are mandated. Also, keep in mind that we will be working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather isn’t good and we cannot work on particular days then this is going to add more time to the job. A smaller home may take about a week or so, whereas much larger commercial projects may be anything from a few weeks to a number of months. Just make sure your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you really should be fine.

Given that your roof is consistently exposed to the outside elements, this means your roof is will deteriorate with time. The rate at which it breaks down will depend on a number of factors. Those include; the quality of the original components that were used and the workmanship, the amount of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is taken care of and the design of the roof. Most roofing contractors will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-maintained 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 make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure wash your roof, as you run the risk of eliminating any protective materials that have been added to provide shielding from the weather. Aside from that, you really should avoid chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they can easily also cut down the lifespan 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 remove the unattractive algae and yellowing without ruining the tile or shingles.
