How long will your roof last?

How long will your roof last?

Wondering how long your roof will last in Arizona? The answer depends on what it’s made of.

NOT ALL ROOFS AGE THE SAME

When it comes to roof lifespan, some materials hold up better than others.  At All Dry, we use materials built to withstand intense sun, monsoons, hail, and high winds. Knowing what your current roof is made of can help you decide whether you need a quick repair or a full replacement.

Here’s a quick look at common roofing materials and how long they typically last in Arizona:

  • Asphalt Shingles: 15-20 years
    Budget-friendly, but prone to cracking and curling in intense heat.
  • Foam Roofs (Flat): 20-30 years
    Lightweight and energy-efficient, foam is popular for flat roofing, but recoating every 4-5 years is essential.
  • Tile Roofs (Clay or Concrete): 40-50 years
    Extremely durable and heat-resistant, while the tiles can last decades, it’s important to get frequent inspections to see if the underlayment needs repair or replacement (typically every 10-20 years).

Beyond the material used, a roof’s lifespan in Arizona is impacted by…
