Clear Answers About Roofing, Repairs, Replacement & More

Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 20 to 30 years in Austin. Metal roofs can last 40 to 70 years, while tile and slate options can exceed 50 years with proper maintenance. Austin’s heat and storm exposure can accelerate wear, making regular inspections an important part of roof longevity.
