We know that installing a new roof can bite a large chunk out of your savings, and it is a significant investment, but it is also something that you wouldn’t want to do too often. Most roofing systems can last up to 30-40 years, sometimes even longer when properly cared for and maintained. Minor maintenance may be a short-term bother, but it is much less of a problem than repairing major roofing issues or replacing the entire roofing system.
The durability and lifespan of your roof are dependent on several factors, including environmental conditions, exposure to the elements, and the quality of installation by your roofing professionals.
Living in Columbia means that your roof is regularly exposed to things such as hurricanes, tornadoes, severe storms, and more. These environmental conditions can significantly impact the lifespan of your rooftop and lead to its accelerated degradation.
Let’s take a look at which roofs last the longest in Columbia and thus be easier on your pockets.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingle roofs are one of the most common roofing materials in Columbia. 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. Asphalt shingle roofing systems suffer during the severe weather conditions experienced in Columbia. Their lifespans may be shortened as a result.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofs are 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 best suited to Columbia’s climate. They can survive just about any storm, so you don’t have to worry about your roof suffering severe storm damages.
Flat Roofing
Flat roofs 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. Flat rooftops tend to be severely affected by hail and stagnant water. It is thus important to have functioning gutters with your flat rooftop.
