How Long Does a Roof Last?
An average roof in Westminster, Maryland lasts about 15 to 20 years before it may need replacement. The exact longevity depends on the quality of roofing materials, the harshness of the elements in your area, as well as how well you maintain your roof. For example, if you fail to replace blown-off shingles or repair damaged flashing, your roof will deteriorate much faster. Additionally, each type of roofing material has its own life expectancy, and some products even have an internal rating system, such as 15-year shingles or 25-year shingles. If you are not sure which roofing product to purchase, it’s best to consult with our Westminster roofing experts at Platinum Exteriors.
Signs of Roof Damage
Some roof damage can be visible from the ground, while other types of damage are hidden and manifest themselves in indirect ways. If any of the below sounds familiar, you need to get your roof inspected as soon as possible.
- Leaks in the attic after rain or ice buildup
- Peeling paint on interior or exterior surfaces
- Mold and mildew problems in the attic
- Curling or cracked shingles
- Visible sagging or dark spots on the roof
Keep in mind that not all of these problems necessarily require roof replacement. Replacement is more suitable for older roofs that are close to the end of their lifespan. Depending on your situation and the age of your roof, roof repair may be all you need, in which case Platinum Exteriors is also happy to help.
Don’t Delay Roof Replacement
As a Westminster Maryland roofing company, we understand that when we tell you that you need a new roof, this type of news is rarely taken with enthusiasm. A new roof is a big expense, but it’s also a necessary one. Your roof protects your entire home—and not just from rain—but from wind, sun and temperature changes. A leaky roof can lead to interior damage, as well as cause increased heating/cooling costs due to being drafty. The longer you wait to replace, the more damage you may have to fix in the end.
