Understanding roof lifespan helps with planning and budgeting. Denver's climate significantly impacts how long roofs last.
Asphalt Shingle Lifespan
3-tab shingles: 15-20 years. Architectural shingles: 20-30 years. Premium shingles: 30-50 years in Denver climate.
Metal Roofing Longevity
Steel and aluminum: 40-70 years. Copper: 100+ years. Superior longevity justifies higher costs.
Tile and Slate Duration
Concrete tile: 40-50 years. Clay tile: 50-100 years. Slate: 75-200 years with proper maintenance.
Climate Impact
Denver's intense sun, hail, and temperature swings reduce lifespan compared to milder climates.
Maintenance Effect
Regular maintenance can extend lifespan 20-30%. Neglect significantly shortens roof life.
Quality Installation
Professional installation maximizes material lifespan. Poor installation voids warranties and shortens life.
Warning Signs
Granule loss, curling shingles, and frequent leaks indicate approaching end of life.
