Your roof is essential in protecting your home from the elements, but like everything else, it has a lifespan. If you’ve recently installed a roof or are planning to, you’re probably wondering how long it will last. The answer depends largely on the materials used and environmental factors in your location. For many homes, asphalt shingles are the go-to choice—so let's dive into what makes them popular and how long they’re expected to last.
Why Are Asphalt Shingles So Popular?
Asphalt shingles are the most widely used roofing material in the U.S. and Canada, thanks to their affordability, ease of installation, and design variety. With a broad selection of colors and styles, asphalt shingles can suit nearly any home aesthetic. They’re also versatile enough to handle various weather conditions, making them ideal for many different climates.
How Long Can You Expect Asphalt Shingles to Last?
Asphalt shingles are built from a mix of organic materials and cement fibers, designed to resist UV rays and withstand harsh weather. With good attic ventilation and regular maintenance, an asphalt shingle roof can last around 20 years.
Signs that it might be time for a replacement include shingle deterioration, missing patches, or shingles in your yard after a storm. If you’re noticing any of these, it’s likely your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan.
