How Long Does a Roof Really Last? | Generation Contractors

You might be wondering how long your roof will last. It’s a daunting task, both in terms of cost and hassle- but don’t worry! There are ways to find out if you’re due for an upgrade or not so that this doesn’t happen unexpectedly one day when it is too late because we all know what happens when our roofs fall off:

Rain comes through causing leaks which leaves us extremely vulnerable during heavy storms with high winds packed full strength gusts capable blowing down trees outside every millisecond until finally hitting ground level turn everything upside.

The lifespan of your roof is impacted by a number of factors, but two very important ones are what it’s made up and where you live. Some materials will last longer than others in certain climates or regions – so if that matters to you then look into different options!

How Do I Know If My Roof Needs Replacing?

Some signs that your roof needs to be replaced include:

An asphalt shingle roof will start showing some cracks and chips in the surface of the material. These are usually easy enough to repair, but when they permeate through all throughout a layer or several layers. It becomes evident an entire re-roofing job would need done rather quickly before more serious problems arise such as leaks which can cause major structural decay from water damage in the worst case scenario!

Metal roofs have been around for a long time and they tend to outlast other roofing materials. The only sign that your metal roof may need replacement is when it cracks or breaks into pieces due to wear-and-tear on top of the surface level.

As an example, if you notice some small cracks near where water comes through then this could be signs indicating, immediate service needs because rainwater will get inside which means more damage down below.

If you notice any of these signs, like if your roof is getting older or has just been replaced recently and it’s time for another one soon then call us.
