Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home, protecting you from the elements year-round. But how often should you replace it? In California, the answer depends on several factors, including materials, weather conditions, and maintenance.

Typical Roof Lifespan by Material:

• Asphalt Shingles: 20-30 years

• Clay or Concrete Tiles: 50+ years

• Metal Roofing: 40-70 years

• Wood Shingles/Shakes: 20-40 years

• Flat Roofing (TPO, EPDM, PVC): 15-25 years

Warning Signs You Need a Roof Replacement:

1. Leaks and Water Damage – Stains on your ceiling or walls indicate moisture is getting in.

2. Missing or Damaged Shingles/Tiles – Wind, heat, and rain can wear out roofing materials.

3. Sagging Roof – A clear sign of structural damage.

4. Increased Energy Bills – Poor insulation due to an aging roof can lead to higher cooling and heating costs.

5. Moss or Mold Growth – Excessive moisture can lead to deterioration.

How to Extend the Life of Your Roof:

• Schedule regular inspections

• Keep gutters clean and free of debris

• Replace damaged tiles or shingles immediately

• Ensure proper attic ventilation to prevent moisture buildup
