When you need to replace your roof, you should thoroughly consider the best material. Each type of roofing has a different cost, durability and longevity. Metal, concrete and slate are among the most resilient roofing materials out there.
In Las Vegas, installing a slate roof runs about $30,495 for a 2,000-square-foot home. On a national level, slate roofing comes in at around $29,563 for a 2,000-square-foot house.
*Local costs were determined using RSMeans project estimates combined with local labor costs from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and cost data from home improvement stores. We also interviewed homeowners from around the country to validate local costs.
Getting your roof repaired is a major expense. Here are some ways you can lower on the cost.
You may need to contact a roofer if your roof shows the following signs:
Even properly maintained roofs eventually run into issues after years of wear and tear. Visual inspections and roof maintenance are essential in spotting problems before they escalate into expensive repairs.
During your visual inspection, look out for the following common issues.
A major roofing problem is cracked, broken or worn shingles. While asphalt shingles usually last 20–30 years, exposure to harsh weather and ultraviolet radiation erodes them over time, resulting in cracking or lifting. Curled, broken or missing shingles let in moisture that can lead to leaks, mold and structural decay.
Flashing is the metal sheets around the joints, chimneys, valleys, dormers, skylights and vents of a roof. Its main function is to prevent rainwater and runoff from getting into the home by redirecting it away from vulnerable seams and transition points. Improperly fitted or damage flashing can become a common pathway for water to leak into your home. Check for flashing failure when you notice leaks coming from joints, sagging areas, drips from ceilings that align with flashing seams, peeling paint or moisture stains.
Your home may develop leaks in areas such as seams, protrusions and flashing around valleys, skylights, chimneys and vent pipes where roof planes meet. These watertight joints may shift and open gaps for water intrusion due to expansion and contraction from temperature changes. Fixing leaks early prevents more expensive damage down the line.
Attics with inadequate insulation lead to uncomfortable temperatures in your home. This causes problems such as leaks, mold, ice dams, high energy bills and damaged rafters. Upgrading your attic insulation so it's appropriate for the local climate decreases energy use and utility bills.
Standing water often happens when your roof's decking has low areas and debris accumulation. This can lead to standing water after storms, which can become a problem. If it stays for more than 48 hours, it can result in moisture saturation and rot in roof components. It also puts substantial weight stress and could indicate the need for replacing your roof surface to correct the slope or drainage. Clean debris regularly and make sure there's proper drainage to prevent these issues.
Multiple factors, such as your climate, roof material, maintenance frequency and quality of installation impact your roof's life span. Installation quality plays the biggest role in determining how long your roof will last.
General asphalt roofs have an average life expectancy of 20–30 years. Architectural shingles can last longer, up to 25–30 years, in comparison with traditional three-tab shingles, which generally last around 15–20 years. Properly maintained shake roofs or wood shingles can last approximately 20–25 years. However, they may be susceptible to insect damage, rot and mold.
slate, Concrete and metal are some of the most durable roofing materials. Metal usually lasts 40–70 years or more. Concrete roofs, with proper maintenance, can last 50 years or more and sometimes last over a century. Slate is one of the most durable materials, with slate roofs lasting for over 100 years.
