A roof is a lot more than shingles. And usually a roof leak is not caused because of a direct failure of the shingles themselves (unless they were literally blow off the roof or became dislodged). A roof leak us usually caused by an issue where something (like a vent pipe, wall, or chimney) penetrates through the roof line, and the flashing meant to bridge the gap between the protrusion and the roof line fails. That’s why its common to have roof leaks around chimneys, vent pipes, antennas installed on the roof, and any other item that comes up through the roof. If not installed correctly, a leak can happen fairly quickly, but it may take time for the stains to appear inside the home. This means the leak may occur for a long period of time before you become aware of it. 

Deciding if its worth repairing vs replacing a roof depends largely on two factors.

1. The age of the roof.
2. The quality of the installation of the roof.

If the roof is approaching 20 years of age, it may be time to consider replacing it rather than fixing leaks as they start to spring up.

If the roof is leaking frequently and it is less than 10 years old, a roofer should examine the quality of the installation. If it is installed well, and the the leak is isolated, it may be ok to repair only as needed. If it is discovered that there are major flaws built into the way to roof was put on, then leaks may become a recurring issue. This is a major consideration to go ahead with replacement sooner than later. 

Lifespan varies, but asphalt shingles usually last 15-30 years, metal roofs can last 40-70 years, wood shingles about 20-25 years, and slate or tile roofs can last 50-100 years or more with proper maintenance.

Normal Wear and Tear

When it comes to insurance coverage for an aged roof, normal wear and tear is a significant factor that can impact whether your roof repairs will be covered. Insurance companies typically do not cover roofs older than 20 years due to the natural deterioration that occurs over time.

It’s important for homeowners and property managers to understand that age-related wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or improper installation can lead to exclusion of roof repair coverage by insurance providers.

This underscores the importance of regular maintenance and proactive measures to ensure that your roof remains in good condition.
