Florida's sunshine and storms can be tough on roofs. Here's a quick guide to how long yours might last and what you can do to make it last longer.
Lifespan:
Average: 15-20 years. Varies by material: Asphalt (15-35 years), Metal (40-60 years), Tile (25-100+ years)
Extending Lifespan:
- Choose the right material for Florida's climate.
- Hire a qualified contractor for proper installation.
- Conduct regular inspections (at least annually, more after storms).
- Schedule cleanings to remove debris, mold, and algae.
- Rejuvenate your shingles every 5-7 years
- Address repairs promptly to prevent further damage.
Florida's Climate Challenges:
- Heat and sun exposure can damage roofing materials.
- High humidity promotes mold and mildew growth.
- Frequent storms can cause wind damage and leaks.
- Salt air (near the coast) can significantly decrease the lifespan.
Choosing a Contractor:
- Look for licensing, insurance, and experience.
- Check reviews and references.
- Get multiple quotes in person.
