Your Roof’s Life Span and How to Make it Last Longer

The different materials available for roofs have varying life spans. Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC, one of the trusted roofers in Broward County, discusses the different kinds of roofs and the top ways to make them last longer.

Asphalt Roofs

This is one of the most common materials used in roofing. With their relatively low cost, asphalt roofs tend to last for up to 20 years. While it is a low-maintenance material, asphalt calls for regular inspections and proper maintenance to lengthen its life span.

We offer reflective coatings for our asphalt shingle roofs. They can help make your home more environmentally friendly and increase the life cycle of your roof. This coat also lowers your use of air conditioning, leading to lower expenses.  You can also expect our asphalt shingles from GAF to offer better resistance and superior performance.

Tile

There are a variety of ways to extend the life span of tile roofs once they are installed. Even without proper maintenance, tile roofs can last for more than 50 years. For this type of residential roofing in North Miami, FL, and the surrounding areas, we offer Roof-A-Cide cleaning. This can reduce the use of harmful chemicals, avoiding damage to the surrounding properties. This also makes your roof look better for longer. It helps avoid a replacement for up to 15 years.

Metal Roofs

The material has little maintenance requirements and comes with warranties that can last up to 40 years. Proper installation by a professional can help extend the life of a metal roof. The quality of the material used also greatly affects a roof’s life span. Fortunately, the coating products we use on our metal roofs help ensure their protection from chipping and fading. Rest assured that they will maintain their original look for years. This will complement the durability that metal roofs are known for.

At Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC, we use top quality materials for our roofs. Our services are handled by professionals that have been in the business for over 30 years, ensuring the safety of your home.
