How Many Years Should a Roof Last?

If you are in the market for a new roof, you’ve probably received a few quotes as to how much it will cost. It may seem like a lot of money, but the lifespan of a roof can be 25 to 50 years. The type of materials plays a role in determining a more precise time frame.

As does the quality of materials and the workmanship. If you work with low quality materials, it doesn’t matter just how well you can put a roof together, it won’t last long; especially in these Midwest climates.

Mother Nature also plays a role in the lifespan of roof. In the Midwest, the harsh winters and extreme hot summers can wear and tear and breakdown roofing materials. Plus, the winds we get exert pressure on roofing surfaces, leading to tearing, cracking and even blowing off sections of a roof.

Regular maintenance to your roof in the Spring and Fall is a great way to keep your roof in good working condition. Inspecting your roof before our harshest climates of Summer and Winter will help you rest assured that your roof is ready for the tough weather conditions.

Just remember, when you see damage to your roof or you suspect roof damage, call a local roofing company to give you an inspection. Most will offer this service for free.
