Factors that can Affect your Roof’s Performance and Lifespan

By Stacy MelleteApril 27, 2021

The roofing system is one of the most functional areas of the house. It protects your home and provides comfort to your family.

While the roof is designed to last up to 20 years or longer, there are several factors that can affect its performance and lifespan.

Here are a few of the most important factors:

1. Material

Some materials are more durable than others. For example, quality asphalt shingles can last between 20 and 30 years. A good metal roof, though, can last 50 years or longer. Whichever material you choose, always invest in manufacturers’ graded roofing materials to ensure quality and durability.

2. Weather Conditions

Extreme weather conditions can take a toll on the roof’s performance and lifespan. Even the sturdiest roofing system degrades over time. From heavy downpours to hail storms and strong winds, the elements can put a lot of pressure on the roof.

3. Installation

Another factor that can significantly affect your roof’s performance is installation. Roofing replacement, maintenance, and installation require extensive expertise and experience to ensure optimal performance and safety.

For reliable roofing installation, be sure to hire a reputable roofing contractor with years of experience and a proven track record in the industry.

Ventilation

Many people overlook the importance of proper ventilation. The primary function of attic or roof ventilation is to regulate proper air circulation and prevent moisture. Poor ventilation can cause structural damages and lead to costly repairs.

These are just some of the factors that can affect your roof’s performance and lifespan. For the best professional roofing services, call Affordable Roofing Services now and get a free estimate!
