How Long Do Asphalt Roofs Last?
Asphalt roofs can last up to 50 years if rated as such, under the right conditions, installed correctly and are well maintained, which is why they’re an appealing option for homeowners.
Factors Affecting Your Roof Shingle Life Span
Things that impact the average life span of asphalt shingle roof types include:
- Attic ventilation: Poorly ventilated roofs prevent moisture from leaving the attic, resulting in elevated humidity in the attic. This moisture causes the wood decking underneath the shingles to warp and even rot.
- The company that installed the roof: Choosing a professional company to install a roof is key to a longer roof life span. It also prevents any possible leaks or damage caused by poor installation and provides owners with peace of mind, knowing their roofs will withstand weather conditions for years to come. Our expert asphalt roof contractor team have the experience and knowledge of working with the material.
- Weather conditions in your local area: If your area experiences many severe weather conditions, such as heavy rain, snow or intense heat, this could affect the life span of your roof.
- How often does the roof get maintenance and inspections: Book yearly or semiannual roof maintenance and inspections to keep your roof in the best condition. Our free roof inspections help spot issues you may not see and show you exactly how well-maintained your roof is. Maintenance may involve debris removal, gutter cleaning, mold removal and more.
- The type of asphalt shingle: The type of asphalt shingle influences its life span. Choose from our dimensional and luxury shingles, available in various colors and textures to complement any building’s style. Asphalt shingles can provide seamless coverage for lower-sloped roofs, Dutch Gable roofs and various other roofing types.
