The lifetime of a roof depends on different conditions like the type of material used, the quality standards maintained during installation, region’s environmental conditions, and maintenance work received.

Typically, Asphalt Roofing lasts for about 20-30 years, Rubber Roofing for about 50 years, and the life of Concrete Roofing is around 50 to 80 years depending on the above mentioned factors. Always review the warranty period given by the roofing contractors along with other financial commitments to judge the approximate life of roof to be installed.

Cost of the re-roof depends on type of roofing system you want depending on your choice, requirements and money you are willing to spend.

The approximate cost of roof maintenance can be determined by the following formula:
