Metal Roofing Materials. Metal roofing materials can last for decades without degrading in appearance or function. The oldest metal roofs in the world are over 120 years old and are still in fairly good condition. Paint and anti-rust technologies increase a metal roofâs lifespan drastically and make metallic roofs an excellent long-term investment. Residential metal roofs typically have a rated lifespan of 50 years or more. This is outstanding compared to the 15-year average lifespan of other materials.
Maintenance can extend a roofâs life five to 10 years. Similarly, a slate roof will last up to 75 years, whereas a roof made of selvage-or asphalt-based materials could show significant signs of wear within 12 years. Below is a look at how long most major home systems last, based on data from Freddie Mac*, the lender, and data published in Realty Times.
