We understand that installing a new roof on your home can cost quite a bit, and this significant investment can set your savings back by a lot; luckily, it isn’t a project that homeowners have to undertake too often.
Most roofing systems can last up to 30-40 years, sometimes even longer when properly cared for and maintained. Consistent maintenance over the years will help extend the lifespan of your roofing system and preserve its appearance.
The lifespan of your roof is also dependent on things such as environmental conditions, exposure to the elements, and the quality of your roof’s installation. Living in Plano means that your roof is regularly exposed to things such as tornadoes, tropical storms, flooding, extreme heat, and more. These environmental conditions can significantly impact the lifespan of your rooftop and lead to its accelerated degradation.
Let’s take a look at how long your roof type typically lasts in Plano:
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingle roofing is one of the leading roofing materials in the Plano area. It is a popular option due to it being relatively cheap and easy to install. However, their lifespan can be anywhere between 10-30 years. In areas like Plano, temperatures reach highs of 100°F. Prolonged exposure to extreme heat may cause your asphalt shingles to curl, crack and crumble. During tornado season, asphalt shingles are vulnerable to uplift due to the high wind speeds.
Flat Roofing
Flat roofing systems are known for being durable and highly weather-resistant. Commercial building owners prefer flat roofing systems due to their easy installation and maintenance. Flat rooftops have a lifespan of about 20 years, but their lifespan can be affected by things like environmental influences and foot traffic. Extreme heat can lead to your flat roof drying out and losing its protective oils. Extreme temperature changes can also lead to your flat roof experiencing thermal shock and thus weaken its overall structure.
