Unless you’re a qualified roofing professional, the majority of roofing tasks really should not be undertaken yourself. In addition keep in mind that a large number of manufacturers of products utilized in the roof repair will not warranty those items unless a certified professional performs the work. The other thing to remember is that working on a roof may be very dangerous, so is it really worth risking your health for you to save money?

It would be great if we were able to give you a simple response to this question! However, there actually is no single answer fits all for every question like that. There are many different products available and each one has its own merits and disadvantages. To know which is the right roof for you, you should have an expert come and check out your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they have seen, your roof design, the climate you live in and, of course, your budget.

It really is dependent on the kind of roof and exactly what inspections are required. Also, remember that we will be working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we can’t work on particular days then this will add more time to the job. A smaller home might take about a week or so, whereas larger industrial projects might be anything from a few weeks to a few months. Just ensure your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Since your roof is continuously exposed to the outside elements, it means your roof is will degrade with time. The rate at which it degrades will depend on a variety of variables. These include; the quality of the original materials that were used along with the workmanship, the amount of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is preserved and the design of the roof. Most roofing contractors will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but obviously that can never be promised as a result of the above variables. Our advice is to consistently keep your roof well maintained and get regular roof inspections to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should not ever pressure wash your roof, as you take the risk of washing away any protective minerals that have been included to give protection from the weather. Aside from that, you should stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products since they may also lower the lifespan of your roof. When you converse with your roof cleaning professional, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. That will clear away the aesthetically displeasing algae and yellowing without destroying the tile or shingles.
