How often should you maintain your roof?
What should we be doing to help our roof last as long as possible? I've asked family and friends and I'm even more confused than when I started as everyone has different ideas! But what do actual roofers recommend?
Does location affect roof construction?
Does where you live affect the feasibility of a given roofing design or/and material option?
