Your roof is a long-term investment in your home and in your future. Different types of roofs are made of different materials. As such, each roof comes with its own set of pros and cons. Asphalt shingle roofs, metal roofs, cedar shake roofs, and clay tile roofs all have different properties and are made up of different materials. So, how long will each of these roofs last?

Asphalt shingle roofs are the most common choice of roofs for residential homes. They are inexpensive, lightweight, and durable. So durable, in fact, that they will last for 20-30 years.

Metals roofs are more expensive than asphalt shingle roofs, but they are worth the money. They are almost maintenance-free and look great. These roofs will last nearly 50 years and they require minimal maintenance.

Cedar shake roofs have a rustic aesthetic unlike any other type of roof. This aesthetic comes with a cost, however, and these roofs require a lot of maintenance. While these roofs do require maintenance, they can add a good amount of value to a home and will last up to 30 years. This makes cedar shake roofs a solid long-term investment option.

Clay tile roofs can be thought of as the cream of the crop. They look great and are extremely durable, but they are the most expensive of the bunch. However, they also have the most longevity, maintaining the color well and lasting over 50 years.
