Unless you’re a qualified roofing professional, most roofing work really should not be performed yourself. Also keep in mind that the majority of manufacturers of products utilized in the roof repair will not warranty those products unless a licensed professional performs the task. The other thing to bear in mind is that working on a roof is going to be very dangerous, so is it really worth risking your health for you to save money?

It would be really good if we were able to give you a simple answer to that question! However, there really is no one answer fits all for every question like that. There are several unique products available and each and every one will have its own advantages and faults. To determine which is the right roof for you, you really should have an expert come and check out your roof and they can make recommendations according to what they have seen, the type of roof you have, the environment you reside in and, of course, your budget.

It actually depends on the type of roof and exactly what inspections 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 is going to add more time to the job. A small home may take around a week or so, while more substantial industrial projects could be anything from several weeks to a few months. Just see to it your roofing contractor keeps you updated and you should be fine.

Because your roof is always exposed to the outside elements, it means your roof is will degrade with time. The speed at which it degrades will depend upon a number of variables. These include; the grade of the original materials that were used and the craftsmanship, the level of abuse it has to take from the elements, how well the roof is maintained and the type of roof. Most roofing contractors will estimate around 20 years for a well-built and well-kept roof, but obviously that can never be promised because of the above variables. Our advice is to consistently keep your roof well maintained and get regular checkups to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

You should never pressure wash your roof, as you take the risk of getting rid of any covering materials that have been included to offer protection from the weather. Also, you really should stay away from chlorine-based bleach cleaners since they can also diminish the life-span of your roof. When you speak with your roof cleaning professional, tell them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to wash your roof. This will clear away the ugly algae and discoloration without ruining the tile or shingles.
