How Long Does A Shingle Roof Last?

For every homeowner in Miami, purchasing a new roof is a big investment and selecting the right roofing material will affect not only the estimate, but the potential lifespan of your roof. There are multiple roofing materials to choose from, but one of the most common roofing materials used in South Florida is asphalt shingle, a type of roofing shingle. The higher the quality of the asphalt roofing shingles, the higher the cost, but it will more than double the life of your roof.

Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are the most widely used roofing material in the U.S., according to the National Roofing Contractors Association. In addition to having a variety of styles, textures, and colors to choose from, asphalt roofing shingles are cost-effective, durable and easy to maintain.

3-tab Asphalt Shingles have three regularly spaced asphalt tabs, giving the roofing material a very repetitive pattern.

Dimensional Shingles have two layers of shingle material bonded together, giving them a three-dimensional appearance.

The Average Lifespan of a Shingle Roof in South Florida
Regular 3-tab asphalt roofing shingles have three regularly spaced asphalt tabs and can last 10 to 20 years. Whereas, because of the double bonded layer, dimensional shingles offer more protection from wind and rain and can last between 20-30 years.

GAF Shingles
