How long should a roof last?

There are many different factors that come into play when considering your roof’s shelf life, and some of the largest components are the type of roofing material you use, the environment you live in, and whether you have a regular inspection schedule for your roof.

Every type of roof has a different typical lifespan. If you have an asphalt shingles roof, you can usually expect to get about 15 to 30 years out of it before you should consider having it replaced. On the other hand, if you have a metal roof you can expect about 20 to 45 years before needing to look at having it replaced - also depends on what type of specific metal you use. And other roof types, like concrete roofs, slate tile roofs, and clay tile roofs usually have very high durability and long life spans, along with long warranties.

Aside from the type of roofing material you have, it’s also extremely important to have an ongoing inspection schedule for your roof, where you preferably have your roof inspected twice annually. But at the very least, if you can’t manage to have your roof inspected twice every year, you should at least get it inspected once. This allows you to notice any issues early on, before they grow into huge problems that require more serious work.

One of the best things you can do to lengthen your roof's life span is to hire a local Altadena roofing company to come out and inspect your roof at least twice annually. This will help to make sure that a small roof issue, like a leak, doesn't grow over time and snowball into a much bigger issue that can't be fixed with a simple repair.

How do you decide when it's time to replace a roof, and when a simple repair might be enough to hold you over for a couple more years?

Well although on the surface this might sound like a simple issue, there are actually quite a few different things that you need to bring into consideration.

First and foremost, what is the condition that your roof is in? Is it leaking? Is there rust? Are there areas that are caving in, or don't appear to be in the greatest condition? And most importantly, if there are leaks or damaged areas in the roof, is the damage just in one small location, or is it spread out between multiple areas or one large area? If you have damage in multiple locations (or one large area), that's a good sign that the roof may structurally be falling apart, and that it would be wise to have a licensed roofing contractor take a look.

You also need to consider what kind of roof you have, and how long you plan to stay in your home. Certain kinds of roofing, like metal roofing, tend to have much longer lifespans than other types of roofing, like shingles. It's important to know when your roof was installed, what type of roof it is, and how long the typical lifespan is for that type of material.
