Worcester homeowners know that a reliable roof is essential for weathering New England’s unpredictable climate. From scorching summers to heavy snowfalls, your roof takes a beating. One of the most common roofing materials in our area is asphalt shingles, but how long can you expect them to last? Altitude Roofing is here to break it down.

 

Factors Affecting Shingle Lifespan:

 

The average lifespan of an asphalt shingle roof in Worcester typically ranges from 15 to 30 years. However, several factors can significantly impact this:

 

    Shingle Quality:

        The type of shingle you choose matters. Architectural shingles, for example, are thicker and more durable than traditional 3-tab shingles, often offering a longer lifespan.

    Weather Conditions:

        Worcester’s harsh winters, with heavy snow and ice, and its hot, humid summers can accelerate shingle deterioration.

        Strong winds can also cause shingles to lift or tear.

    Installation Quality:

        Proper installation is crucial. A poorly installed roof is more susceptible to leaks and premature failure. Altitude Roofing prides itself on meticulous installation practices, ensuring your roof performs optimally.

    Ventilation:

        Adequate attic ventilation helps regulate temperature and moisture, preventing shingle damage.

    Maintenance:

        Regular inspections and prompt repairs can extend your roof’s lifespan. Clearing debris, removing moss, and addressing any damage early on are essential.

 

Signs Your Shingles Need Replacing:

 

    Curling or buckling shingles

    Missing shingles

    Granule loss (you’ll see granules in your gutters)

    Leaks in your attic

    Age of the roof. If it is over 20 years old, it should be inspected.
