How Long Should a Roof Last in Houston

As a homeowner in Houston, you may be interested in learning more about the lifespan of your roof. In this context, we will delve into five different roof types and how long they last.

The factors that determine the lifespan of your roof include:

Environmental conditions- extreme temperatures, strong winds, and falling debris will affect the lifespan of your roof.
The contractor’s craftsmanship quality- if the contractor offered poor quality services, the roof’s lifespan will be short.
The type of roofing material- the durability varies from one roofing material to another. Some materials may last longer than others.
The quality of roofing materials- cheap materials will cost less; however, they will not last long as compared to good quality materials, which are expensive.

Although numerous factors determine your roof’s lifespan, the main factor to consider is the materials used. We will now look into different roof types and how long they can last.

Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles are durable, affordable, and they have a warranty of up to 25 years. They are made of an asphalt sealant and fiberglass. When the shingles are used for Houston roofing, they will protect the roof structure from wind, snow, UV rays, and rain.

The asphalt shingles roof lasts for at least 15 to 30 years. In regions where there are high temperatures, the shingles will crack, and their lifespan will be affected.

The signs that the asphalt roof needs to be replaced include cracked shingles and mineral granules present in the gutters.

Metal Roofing

A metal roof will last for 40 to 70 years. The manufacturers usually issue a 20-year warranty; nonetheless, such factors depend on the type of metal and the Houston roofing design. If a metal roof is made of metals such as zinc or copper, it can last for more than 10 decades.

Signs that the metal roof may need to be replaced include discoloration, widespread rust, water staining, roof leak damage, and the presence of molds.

Wood Shingles

The wood shingles usually last for three decades; however, such a roof must be maintained regularly. The roof should be cleaned annually. It should also be repainted every five years.

Conclusion

As a homeowner, you should be aware of your roof’s lifespan. The type of roof determines the period when you will carry out roof replacement. We have also listed some of the signs that may indicate certain roof types need to be replaced.

Reviews From Our Customers

Brandon and Eldridge Roofing did a spectacular job! They were thorough and informative. The knowledge and experience that he had, was extensive and he was exquisitely professional! This was my first insurance claim for my house. He walked me through every step and let me know what to expect and/or anticipate. I would recommend to anyone who needs a knowledgeable and patient roofing company!

Spring, Texas

Michael was so thorough in explaining our options. He was nothing but professional. Everything happened as he explained it would. They did a wonderful job on our roof. And as Michael said, you couldn’t even tell they had been at our house and replaced a roof. Their clean up is remarkable. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I highly recommend Eldridge Roofing for your roofing needs!

Leasha Davis

Spring, Texas

We’re very pleased with our new roof & customer service from Mike Marriott, Ashely & the crew. The roof looks great and our seasoned adjuster even commented on the great quality materials & workmanship. The crew was fast and thoroughly cleaned up after themselves. After receiving quotes from several other roofing companies I am glad that we went with Eldridge and would highly recommend them.

Miranda Harris

Houston, Texas

Eldridge Roofing was recommended to me after I suspected my roof may have been damaged during a recent storm. Brandon Holland came out and thoroughly inspected every inch of my roof. He was able to clearly explain the problem and had a solution not far behind. The entire process from start to finish was exceptional. We will definitely be using Eldridge for any future issues or projects that may come up! Thanks again!

Sarah Grant

We discovered Eldridge Roofing from a neighbor and asked them to give us an estimate. We worked with Shannon who came as scheduled and worked efficiently with our insurance company to get us the best roof for the best price. He followed through with us every step of the way and we are very pleased with the quality, professionalism and complete honesty of Shannon and the rest of Eldridge staff. Highly Recommend!

Dorothy Chapman

I have used Eldridge Roofing at one our rent houses for a roof repair, and also a full internal repair from water damage from a burst pipe. At another rent house they replaced the whole roof and it was an hour and a half drive out of town for them. They also replaced the roof at my residence. Brandon the Project Manager is very professional and thorough. I highly recommend them.
