Roofing Materials

The type of roofing material you choose plays a critical role in the longevity of your roof. The lifespan of your roof is determined by various factors, including the design of your home or building, weather conditions in your region, and how often maintenance is performed.

If you’re looking for a roofing material that will last a long time, consider using slate or clay/concrete tiles. These tiles are known for their durability and often outperform other roofing materials. According to the National Association of Home Builders, here is a list of roofing material types along with their expected lifespan.

• Clay / concrete tile (100+ years)
• Slate (60-150 years)
• Copper (70+ years)
• Metal (40-80 years)
• Asphalt (30 years)
• BUR / Built-Up Roofing (30 years)
• Coal and Tar (30 years)
• Wood (30 years)
• Fiber Cement (25 years)
• Asphalt Shingles – 3 tab (20 years)
• Cellulose Fiber (20 years)
• Modified Bitumen (20 years)
• EPDM Rubber (15-25 years)
• Simulated slate (10-35 years)
• TPO (7-20 years)
• Aluminum coating (3-7 years)

Many high-end homes prefer clay or concrete tile roofing because of its durability and luxurious appearance. When tile roofs are installed correctly, they often endure weather conditions like hail damage. Even though tile roofs are durable, they require periodic maintenance and inspections. It’s essential to anticipate the need for repairs now and then. Although clay/concrete tile roofs have the longest lifespan, it does not necessarily make them the ideal choice for your home.

The available roofing options may be influenced by the building codes that are enforced in the local area. Metal roofs are not the only roofs with benefits. Some roofs have additional advantages, like reflecting solar heat and decreasing cooling expenses by 10-25%. Metal roofs have become popular for commercial buildings due to their numerous benefits. If you need new roofing materials and want the best options, please don’t hesitate to ask for a free consultation. We’re happy to help.
