How long does a roof typically last in Florida?

Florida’s heat, humidity, and hurricanes shorten roof lifespans compared to other states. Typical roof lifespans in Florida are:

• 3-tab asphalt shingles: 12–15 years
  
• Architectural shingles: 18–22 years
  
• Metal roofing: 40–50 years
  
• Tile roofing: 30–50 years
  

Regular maintenance and inspections can extend roof life, but many Florida homeowners must replace asphalt shingle roofs sooner due to wind and storm damage.
