How Long Will Your Current Roof Last?

Depending on the material, its exposure to the natural elements, and a few other factors, roofs can have a highly variable lifespan. Regular cleaning, maintenance, and repair work influence the lifespan of a roof.

Asphalt Shingles

While roofing companies and shingle manufacturers typically use many different types of roofing materials, asphalt is still one of the most popular materials for making shingles.

Since asphalt shingles are generally low-maintenance and inexpensive, a majority of modern homes in the US use asphalt roofing.

It is cheaper and stronger than other roofing materials. It has a lifespan of 20 to 40 years. You might come across a handful few companies that only guarantee the longevity of 15 to 25 years. To add more life to your shingles, you should invest in common roof repair.

Metal Roofing

Copper and steel are roofing options albeit not as popular. Metal roofing may include stainless steel or galvanized steel or copper sheets. The cost of metal roofing depends entirely upon the size and shape of your roof.

However, they provide the roof with excellent durability. A typical metal roof lasts between 50 and 60 years. If you are looking for an antique look, select copper sheet roofing that can potentially last for a century!

Wooden Shingles

Wooden shingles and shakes are the next most popular roofing material of choice. You can find them in pressure-treated wood, cedar, or reclaimed wood variants. Since they require periodic maintenance, most modern homes refrain from installing wooden shingles and shakes.

However, if you are looking for an aesthetically pleasing choice, wooden roofing materials are the best options for you.

They have a naturally pre-stained and aged finish. They can last for about 30 years since they are rot and insect resistant.

Stone Tiles

Stone tiles are heavy since they consist of slate, terracotta, concrete, or clay. All stone tiles are highly resistant to strong winds, and heavy rain. Due to their substantial weight, people who desire stone tiles for their roofs, don’t DIY their roofing project.

It is best to leave the roofing to professionals, who deal with heavy material every day. These tiles have long lifespans – clay tiles last between 40 and 60 years, and concrete and slate last between 50 and 100 years.

Flat-type Roofs

Typically, the topcoat of a flat roof determines its lifespan. Homeowners can choose between asphalt covering, rubber roofing, and thermoplastic olefin member cover.

The asphalt coat is the cheapest, and it does not protect the inner layer from UV or harsh heat.

Rubber roofing can be of various types including elastomeric membranes that can provide excellent UV resistance.

Thermoplastic olefin membranes are polymer coats that offer resistance to punctures, tears, and UV rays. Asphalt, rubber, and thermoplastic coats typically last around 10, 40, and 50 years respectively.

No matter what material you pick for your roofing, you should ensure that you provide enough care and maintenance to your roof. That is the only way to extend the lifespan of your roofing and get the most out of your expenses.
