How Long Should Your Roof Last? Most Homes Don’t Hit It.

Описание: How long will your new roof actually last?
It’s one of the biggest questions homeowners ask — because a roof isn’t just another project, it’s the system protecting everything you love inside your home.
In this video, Eric from Van Martin Roofing breaks down what really determines roof lifespan in Ohio, why warranties don’t automatically equal real-world performance, and what you can do to make your roof last as long as it’s supposed to.
A roof’s lifespan comes down to three things:
materials, installation quality, and long-term maintenance.
You’ll learn the realistic life expectancy of premium asphalt shingles like TAMKO Titan XT, how metal roofing compares, and why proper attic ventilation, underlayment, flashing, and yearly inspections matter more than most homeowners realize.
Most importantly, this video is here to give you clarity — not a sales pitch — so you can protect your home with confidence.
