How long do asphalt shingle roofs last?

Should I repair or replace my roof?
If more than ¼ of your roof is damaged, it’s almost always best to opt for a full roof replacement.

Your sales representative will provide their best recommendation based on your unique situation.

How long does metal roofing last?
Metal roof panels are very durable and typically last anywhere between 40-70 years! Metal roofs also require very little maintenance, so you can expect hands-off protection.
What are the benefits of metal roofs?
Metal roofs not only last for 50+ years, but they’re also stylish, eco-friendly (fully recyclable), impact-resistant, and affordable. You won’t have to make as many repairs on a metal roof compared to an asphalt shingle roof, and you’ll get more than double the life out of a metal roof.
How long does it take to install a metal roof?
Depending on the size of your home, we can usually finish installing your metal roof between 1-3 days. The weather, the size of your roof, and the steepness of your roof pitch may make for a longer installation time, but we’ll always communicate with you so that you know what to expect.
What’s the difference between standing seam and corrugated metal roofs?
Standing seam (or concealed fastener) roofing is the most popular for residential properties. It’s a more aesthetically pleasing style of metal roofing that conceals the fasteners between panels. Corrugated metal (or exposed fastener) roofing is a more affordable style of metal roofing but is more commonly seen on agricultural or commercial properties. This type of metal roof has fasteners visible in between panels.
What are the benefits of choosing a steel building over traditional construction?
Steel buildings are durable, cost-effective, low maintenance, and resistant to pests, fire, and extreme weather conditions. They also provide faster construction times compared to wood or concrete structures.
How long does it take to construct a steel building?
The timeline varies depending on the project size and complexity, but steel buildings typically have much faster construction times than traditional buildings. Once the foundation is prepared, assembly can take a few weeks to a couple of months.
