How Long Do Composite Roofs Last?

Overhead view of a large composite roofAre you starting to do roofing research because you’re noticing warning signs indicating that your home’s roof will need to be replaced soon? A roof replacement project can not only be a stressful experience but also a significant investment. For this reason, it’s important that you choose a roofing material that will not only deliver the aesthetic appeal you’re hoping for but also provide cost-effective, long-term weather protection. Safeguarding your home against the elements is especially important in New England, as our harsh climate can produce winter ice storms and prolonged summer heat waves.

As you navigate this process, you’ll likely hear about a lot of different roofing products and all the reasons why they’re the best choice for your home. However, only you know what will best fit your preferences and budget.

What Types of Roofing Are Commonly Available to New England Homeowners?

Let’s start by discussing some of the more popular roofing products among local homeowners:

Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles are usually part of the discussion and are the most common roofing option for homeowners throughout the U.S. They’re popular because they’re affordable, easy to install, durable, and available in a wide array of colors and textures. The downside, however, is that asphalt shingles are susceptible to weather damage and need to be maintained properly, and they usually only last for 20-30 years.

Metal

If you have a little extra money in your budget and want to know that your home will be protected for 50+ years, metal is an option to consider. Metal roofs can stand up to the worst of extreme weather and usually don’t require much upkeep. However, many homeowners don’t like the industrial look that many types of metal roofing provide.

Wood Shakes

Homeowners who want a natural, rustic look for their homes often lean towards cedar shakes. Cedar roofing shingles are energy efficient and easy to install, but they’re also susceptible to fire, moisture, and mold damage.

Slate

Slate has been a popular option for centuries, as it’s fireproof, moisture and rot resistant, and highly durable. However, it’s extremely costly and heavy, so your roof deck will likely need to be reinforced before installation.

What Is Composite Roofing?

A bright orange composite roofIn more recent years, a new player has entered the game and is changing the way it’s played. Composite roofing is a synthetic option that’s made from recycled materials and designed to mimic other types of roofing, like slate tiles, barrel tiles, or cedar shakes. Because it’s made from salvaged plastic, rubber, asphalt, and cement, it’s an environmentally friendly option that can be recycled again when it reaches the end of its lifespan.

In terms of durability and longevity, composite roofing outperforms many other roofing products. When installed properly, composite shingles can reliably protect a home for up to 50 years. They also have one of the highest impact ratings, which means they won’t suffer damage when struck by hail or flying debris. They’re also fire resistant and won’t fade because of exposure to UV rays.

Composite roofing shingles are also:

  • Lightweight – A composite roof is easy to install because the shingles weigh about the same as asphalt shingles.
  • Less expensive than slate – Slate is one of the priciest roofing options, and composite shingles that mimic slate usually cost about half as much.
  • Easy to maintain – Composite shingles resist mold and algae growth, so you won’t have to worry about ugly streaks. In fact, they look more natural after years of exposure to the elements.
