Whether you’re buying a new home or planning on staying put in your current house, you probably have an idea of the condition of your roof. But it can be hard for homeowners to gauge exactly when they should get a roof replacement.
What is the shingle roof life expectancy in North Carolina? One of the key factors that determine if you need a new roof, is age. Now we all know roofs don’t last forever, but homeowners may be asking themselves: how long does a roof last? Generally, you can expect your roof to last between 15 – 30 years. For example, in hot desert climates like Arizona and New Mexico shingles don’t last very long due to the extreme heat. Also, in mountain areas where there is a drastic difference in temperatures, this will cause the shingles to crack. But, the actual lifespan of your roof depends on several things, including the type of roofing materials that were used as well as the environment.
Asphalt Shingles are the most common roofing material in the United States because they are affordable, durable, and include warranties of up to 25 years. Made of fiberglass and asphalt sealant, asphalt shingles can effectively protect your roof structure from snow, wind, rain, and harsh UV rays.
2 Main types of Asphalt Shingles
When your asphalt shingles start to reach between 15 and 20 years in age, or if your roof has experienced storm damage, you should consider a roof inspection to determine if you need a replacement.
