Taking care of your roof should be one of your top priorities. It is a valuable part of your home, can affect the stability and structure and can either decrease or increase your resale value, depending on what kind of shape it is in. The type of roof you have will affect how long it lasts and when you should replace it. As one of the premier roofing companies in Twin Cities, we are happy to answer any questions you have about roof replacement.
This is one of the most common roofing materials used throughout the area, and is much less expensive than other roofing types. This may be because the lifespan of the material is shorter. Asphalt roofs typically remain in good shape for 15-20 years, if regular maintenance is performed.
Metal roofs are durable and sound and have changed significantly over the last few decades to where they are a valuable option for homeowners and roofing companies in Twin Cities. They may be panel or shingle, and with minimal maintenance usually come with a warranty of 20-40 years.
Popular in the west and the south, tile and slate roofing is extremely durable. If the tile quality is high and the roof is installed correctly, these roofs can last over five decades without any major repair. Tile and slate roofs in colder climates may not last as long, and although this is a more expensive roofing option, the fact that it rarely needs to be replaced makes it worth the extra cost.
Wood roofs are often prone to problems, so maintenance is very important in this type of roofing. With almost perfect maintenance and ideal conditions, a wood roof may last 20-30 years.
