The average lifespan of a roof is affected by numerous factors. The lifespan depends on the roofing materials, weather elements, the design of your roof, and the roofing ventilation you have. Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material. Asphalt shingles are usually the most affordable and have a lifespan of up to 30 years. However, the lifespan varies based on the weather and climatic conditions of your location. 3-Tab Shingles often last between 15 to 20 years, depending on how you maintain them and the climatic conditions of your area. Metal roof’s lifespan is estimated to be between 40 to 70 years, depending on the type of metal used. Clay tiled roofs are very durable, with a lifespan of 50-100 years.
The key to a long-lasting and durable roof is scheduling regular professional maintenance and inspection. Cleaning your roof twice a year also helps maintain a healthy roofing system. Ideal Precision Roofing and Exteriors can help with all your inspection needs if there is ever a storm or other damage to your roof. Inspections allow the roofing contractors to identify any issues early in advance and conduct any necessary repairs before it’s too late. You could increase the lifespan of a roof if you take good care of it.
