The average metal roof will last between 40-70 years. Some materials, like copper roofing, will last even longer — with some copper roofs dating back over 100 years. There are also a number of factors that can increase the longevity of your roof, as well as decrease it.
Their impressive lifespan is one of metal roofing’s biggest benefits, especially when compared to asphalt shingles’ average lifespan, which is only around 15-30 years. Unlike shingles that can warp and buckle under environmental pressures, metal panels were designed to withstand them. The fact that metal has an almost double average lifespan, paired with its durability and modern aesthetic, it’s no surprise that more and more are using this material as their new roof or re-roofing solution.
