We understand that installing or replacing your roofing system can cost a significant sum of money; it is probably one of the priciest home improvement projects. Still, it is something that most homeowner only completes about once or twice in their lifetimes. This is because most roofing systems last up to 30-40 years, depending on your roofing materials. A dedicated maintenance plan can help you extend the life of your rooftop for a good couple of years.

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 Westfield means that your roof is regularly exposed to things such as heavy rainfall, winter storms, and blizzards. 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 Westfield:

Asphalt Shingle Roofing

Asphalt shingle roofing is one of the most common roofing materials in the Westfield 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. Severe winds are capable of lifting asphalt shingles, especially if they’re old or haven’t been installed correctly. Damaged or missing shingles allow water to come in contact with your roof deck, which can lead to its rapid degradation.

Wood Shake and Shingle Roofing

Wood shakes and shingle roofing are some of the most aesthetically pleasing roof material options. This roofing material can last between 25-30 years. However, your wood shake and shingle roof can last up to 50 years with meticulous maintenance. These wooden panels work great in moderate climates but are not a great option for areas with seasonal forest fires. It is also important to coat your cedar roofing in a waterproof coating to prevent moisture from rotting your shakes and shingles. In an

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing is believed to be the most environmentally friendly roofing material available. The metal roofing is often made from 100% recycled materials. Not only is the roof eco-friendly, but it is also cost-effective as it has a lifespan of 30-50 years, and with proper maintenance, you can stretch this lifespan to nearly 70 years. Metal rooftops are great at surviving winter storms and shedding large snow loads quickly.

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.
