How Often Should You Upgrade Your Roof—and Why It Matters

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements, making it one of the most important features to maintain. On average, most roofs last between 20 to 30 years, depending on the materials used and your local climate. Asphalt shingles, for example, typically last 20–25 years, while metal or tile roofs can last 30+ years.

However, factors like heavy storms, poor ventilation, and lack of maintenance can shorten that lifespan. Ignoring your roof until problems appear often leads to leaks, water damage, and costly emergency repairs. That’s why regular inspections and timely upgrades are essential.

Upgrading your roof on schedule helps:

• Prevent leaks and interior water damage

• Protect your home’s structure and foundation

• Improve energy efficiency with modern roofing materials

• Boost curb appeal and property value

At LFC Construction, we recommend having your roof inspected at least once a year and after any major storm. If your roof is approaching the 20-year mark, it may be time to start planning for a replacement to protect your investment.
