Due to the fragile nature of shingle roofs, most experts agree that cleaning a shingle roof is a task best left to the roofing professionals.
While pressure cleaning a shingle roof may easily remove algae and moss, it will also blast away a few roof shingles in the process. Pressure cleaning weakens the remaining shingles and could turn into a dangerous situation for someone not trained with roof safety. The act also voids your warranty and could end up costing you more money in the long run. The risk of personal safety and roof damage is too great. We recommend contacting a professional to have your shingle roof chemically cleaned under low pressure.
It’s also important to note that most shingle roofs installed in Florida are anti-fungal and algae resistant. Shingle roofs made up of algae resistant shingles are typically covered under warranty and should go through a warranty inspection process.A regular tile roof cleaning is a great way of ensuring the ideal condition of your tile roof. Not only does a regular cleaning extend roof longevity, but it adds aesthetic value and can save you money by addressing minor damages before they grow into greater problems. A healthy roof is a strong roof.
Tile roof manufacturers recommend utilizing a low pressure system for cleaning tile roofs. Often homeowners make the mistake of using high pressure cleaning methods, which will remove the factory finish, void your warranty, and increase the frequency of cleanings. Due to the sensitive nature of tile roofs – and risk of damage if done incorrectly – we recommend tile roofs be chemically cleaned under low pressure and should be done by a tile roof cleaning professional. Hiring a tile roof cleaning professional will save you time, money, and a headache in the long run.During the Tampa Bay rainy season we get extremely busy and are often asked how long roof repairs in Tampa take or how soon we can do the work.

A good company can replace a single-family home’s roof in one-two days. This includes removing the old roof shingles and underlayment, followed by replacing both with new underlayment and shingles, followed by a thorough clean up!Perhaps the most common question we get (and any roofing company for that matter), is the question about knowing when a home’s roof has issues.
The simple answer is that the signs are obvious, the complicated answer is that the roof issues signs aren’t so obvious.
At first glance, you can see common roofing issues such as:
Perhaps you do your springtime maintenance and notice a few missing shingles or one morning you wake up and the bathroom ceiling has a leak stain.
In the case of a roofing leak, you have options. Sometimes people ask if they need a new roof because of a leak, and the answer is always it depends.
Factors such as the age of your current roof, the current warranty (if there is one), and the scop of your roof leak will ultimately determine the next steps. In either case, the first step is to always get the issue inspected by a roofing company… an honest roofing company. Depending on the damage on your roof causing the leak – a few missing shingles or a serious problem – will then determine your appropriate actions:
In the event that it makes sense to move forward with a brand new roof, you have a few options, but the most common question we get is, “How much will a new roof cost?”
The answer varies depending on a few factors. One, the size of your roof will ultimately determine how much a new roof costs first and foremost. Roofs are measured by what is called “A Square” and this means 100 square feet.
Pricing is done per square, which includes tearing off the existing shingles, laying the new garment, followed by the asphalt shingles. The cost per square is determined by the type of shingles a homeowner selects. shingle prices per square include:
Using these numbers, an average size home at about 20 square would run a homeowner anywhere from $7600 to $8000.
While this is just an estimate and assumes there are no extras needed (like replacing plywood, fixing flashing, etc) the price is determined by the size of your roof! A townhome is much cheaper than $7600 just like a larger home with a hip roof will be more.

Similar to roofing prices, roofing warranties vary depending on the company that roofs your home and the type of shingles you select.
That being said, product warranties are determined by the shingle supply company like GAF or Ownes Corning. The labor warranty depends on the shingle installer, but for example, here at GoodFriend Roofing, we offer a 5 year labor warranty.Because metal roofing is a premium home product, you can expect your new roof to cost roughly two to three times what an asphalt shingle roof costs. However, a metal roof is comparable in price to tile roofing or cedar shake roofing. If you currently have a slate roof, you can expect your metal roof to cost less.
No matter what kind of metal roofing style you choose, you'll never have to worry about your roof again. Most come with a true 30 to 50 year warranty. Plus, your new metal roof will add to the resale value of your home, save you money on your energy bills, and give you peace of mind that you'll likely never have to re-roof again.You can expect a metal roof to last at least 2 to 3 times longer than a regular roof. In general terms, count on a metal roof lasting 30 to 50+ years since metal roofs can often be repainted versus replaced.
To put it in context, the average lifespan of an asphalt roof is 12 to 20 years. That lifespan can be shorter depending on the pitch of your roof and the climate in your area. Made of oil impregnated paper or fiberglass, asphalt begins to deteriorate as soon as you expose it to normal weather. A metal roof, however, will never decompose.
Other roofing materials like wood shingle, shake and tile have varying degrees of weather-related problems that lead to breakdown. Wood shingle and shake roofs often need replacement before twenty years. Concrete tile roofs can crack and warp in the freeze/thaw cycle of more northern climates.
All of the above roofing materials are well-outlasted by metal roofing, which retains its good looks and durability decade after decade after decade.If you have a question that we have not answered below in our Roofing FAQ, please contact us and we will be happy to answer your specific roofing questions.
