Durability
A well-installed asphalt roof typically lasts 12 to 20 years before it needs replacement. If you live in a milder climate and keep up with maintenance, your asphalt roof could potentially exceed this lifespan.

Low Maintenance
Asphalt roofs require minimal maintenance due to their durability. In case of high winds, replacing lost or damaged shingles is straightforward. Additionally, addressing leaks is also a relatively easy task with an asphalt roof.

Design Options
One more advantage of an asphalt roof is the wide range of colors and textures available. You can select shingles in nearly any color imaginable, with various textures to complement any home style.
5
Sound Protection
An often neglected benefit of an asphalt roof is its ability to reduce sound. In contrast to metal roofs, which can enhance the noise from rain. Asphalt roofs significantly absorb most of the sounds created by precipitation and wind hitting your home.
Repair or Replace?
Age:
How old is your roof? If it's nearing 17 years and needs major repairs, consider replacing it.
Cost:
Assess the costs of repairs versus a new roof. If upcoming repairs are likely expensive, replacement could be wiser.
Planning:
Plan how you’d approach a replacement if necessary. Would you add a new layer of shingles over the current roof, or does your home already have two layers? If so, regulations require stripping the roof and starting fresh, which can increase costs. In such cases, maintaining your existing roof for a little longer may be worth considering.
