How Long Should a Roof Last in Barrington, IL?

Barrington is one of the fastest developing suburbs in the Chicago metro area. It is home to over 10,000 residents from all walks of life. Homeowners here are proud of their properties, whether they live in a home that’s 10 years old or 100 years old. Regardless of how long you have lived in your home, you need to be sure that you are doing what you can to keep it looking good inside and out. This includes the very top of your home – your roof. Your roof’s lifespan will vary depending on the type of materials it’s made from, the weather in your area, and how well it was installed.

At Harris Exteriors & More, we can send a roofing professional to your home to take a look at the top of your home. He or she will be able to inspect shingles and the roofing panels for damage. If it looks like you are going to need replacement, they will tell you. If it looks like all you need are some simple repairs, they will let you know that as well. We believe in being honest with our customers and we are not going to steer you in the wrong direction if all you need is some repair work and not an entirely new roof!

Metal roofs, when properly taken care of, can last for around 40 to 50 years. Traditional shingle roofs will last for about 15-20 years, when well taken care of. Wooden roofs last for a long time, as well, but they can be difficult to maintain. Our true roofing professionals will be able to advise you as to what is best for the top of your home to keep you and your family safe and protected.
