The lifespan of a roof depends on several factors, including the type of roofing material used, the thickness and quality of the roofing materials, the roof’s maintenance history, and the local climate. A high-quality asphalt shingle roof typically lasts around 30 years these days, according to Bob Vila. A clay tile roof will last an average of 50 years, while metal roofs last from 20 to 70 years, depending on quality, per the same source. They also note that slate roofs can last up to a century.

Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover structural damage caused by perils such as hail, wind, fire, and falling trees. This coverage includes your roof. Depending on your policy, coverage may include repair or replacement and may require you to pay a deductible. Some policies also include exclusions for certain conditions. As one of the top roofing companies in the area, we can help you navigate the insurance claim process.

Not all leaks necessitate a complete roof replacement, and whether you repair or replace your roof likely depends on the extent of the damage. On a relatively new roof, a few damaged or missing shingles may be cost-effective to repair. If the damage is more extensive and involves an older roof or multiple layers of roofing materials, a partial or full replacement is likely in order. Our roofing contractors will help you determine if your roof needs repairs or a replacement.

The cost of a new roof installation depends on several factors, including the roof material, labor cost, location, and more. According to Roof Calc, the average residential roof in the United States is 1,600 square feet, but we'll take precise measurements before calculating the cost of your roof. Per our roofing contractors, the average cost of a new roof is $10,000, with projects typically ranging from $8,500–$14,300.

Warning signs of a failing roof include loose or missing shingles, obvious sagging, exposed nail heads, curled, cracked, or blistering shingles, granules or debris in your gutters, and more. Roofing companies offer inspection services and free estimates so you won't have to guess whether your roof is failing.
