Looking for a New Home? Make Sure You’re Covered with a Roof Inspection How long is a roof covering supposed to last? There’s no cut-and-dried answer to this question. While all types of coverings, from asphalt shingles to slate, come with a projected lifespan, there are many factors at play that can significantly affect when a roof will need to be replaced. Certified inspectors, like those at A-Pro Home Inspection, report on defects that surface with each type of roof covering, including asphalt shingles, roll roofing, single-ply membrane roofing, wood shakes and shingles, and clay and concrete tiles. Problems range from granule deterioration caused by sun and rain affecting asphalt shingles to rotting cedar shakes resulting from improper ventilation.
