The average lifespan of a roof depends on the material used, climate conditions, and maintenance. Here are the typical lifespans for different roofing materials:

• Asphalt Shingles (3-tab) – 15-20 years
• Architectural Asphalt Shingles – 25-30 years
• Metal Roofing – 40-70 years
• Clay or Concrete Tiles – 50-100 years
• Slate Roofing – 75-200 years
• Wood Shingles/Shakes – 20-40 years

Regular inspections and proper maintenance can help extend the life of any roofing material.

Asphalt Shingles – Affordable and easy to install, asphalt shingles last 15-30 years but may be less durable in extreme weather.

Metal Roofing – Long-lasting (40-70 years), energy-efficient, and resistant to fire and wind, though it has a higher upfront cost.

Tile Roofing (Clay/Concrete) – Extremely durable (50-100 years), fire-resistant, and great for hot climates, but heavier and more expensive.

The time it takes to replace a roof depends on factors such as the size of the roof, the type of material used, weather conditions, and the complexity of the job. Here’s a general estimate:

• Asphalt Shingles – 1 to 3 days
• Metal Roofing – 2 to 5 days
• Tile Roofing (Clay or Concrete) – 5 to 10 days
• Slate Roofing – 6 to 12 days
• Wood Shingles/Shakes – 3 to 5 days

If there are structural issues, bad weather, or extensive repairs needed, the process could take longer. Our professional roofers can provide a more accurate timeline after an inspection.

It’s recommended to have your roof inspected at least once a year, preferably in the spring or fall. However, you should also schedule an inspection:

• After a major storm – High winds, hail, or heavy rain can cause damage.
• If you notice signs of damage – Leaks, missing shingles, or sagging areas.
• Before buying or selling a home – A professional inspection can identify potential issues.

Regular inspections help catch minor problems before they become costly repairs, extending the lifespan of your roof.

What to Do if Your Roof is Damaged in a Storm

• Stay Safe – Avoid hazards like fallen power lines and debris.
• Assess the Damage – Check for missing shingles, leaks, or structural issues (if safe). Take photos for insurance.
• Prevent Further Damage – Use a tarp to cover exposed areas and clear gutters.
• Contact Your Insurance – Report damage, file a claim, and provide documentation.
• Call Quality Services Roofing – Schedule an inspection and get repair estimates.
• Keep Records – Save receipts and document all communications.
