If you have a shingle roof or are considering having one installed, you may be interested to see how long they last. Exterior Source has all the information that you need here:
The Lifespan of Different Roofing Shingles
While asphalt shingles are the most well-known, there are a variety of shingle styles on the market. Here is a breakdown of the average lifespan of some of the most popular shingles:
- 3-tab asphalt shingles – 15-20 years
- Architectural asphalt shingles – 20-30 years
- Wood shingles – 15-50 years
- Metal shingles – 35-50 years
- Clay tiles – 50+ years
Ultimately, there are many factors that can impact how long a shingle roof lasts. Homes located in areas with harsh climates will likely have roofs with shorter lifespans. Additionally, if a shingle roof is regularly maintained and inspected, its lifespan should be longer. However, the biggest deciding factors of longevity are the quality of the shingles and the contractor installing them. Luckily, Exterior Source provides both the best shingles on the market and a team of exceptional installers.
