ROOFING INDUSTRY EXPERT: Roofs Should Last 30 Years — Here’s Why They Don’t

Описание: In this episode of Inside the Vendor Network, host Yovonne Kenny sits down with roofing industry veteran Marty Stout, President of GoRoof TuneUp, to unpack a hard truth most operators don’t want to hear:

Roofs are designed to last 30 years — but most fail nearly a decade early.

With more than 40 years in roofing and a hand in shaping national installation standards, Marty explains why premature roof failure is rarely about materials — and almost always about neglect. From skipped inspections and clogged gutters to the false economy of “price per square,” this conversation dives deep into how poor maintenance quietly destroys NOI across SFR and Dedicated Rental Community portfolios.

You’ll learn why preventative maintenance beats replacement, how five-year inspection cycles can extend roof life to 25–30 years, and what a real, scalable roof evaluation should include when you’re managing hundreds or thousands of homes. Marty also breaks down the repair-vs-replace decision with real numbers — and explains how operators can forecast roof spend instead of reacting to emergencies.

This episode is essential listening for owners, asset managers, and operators who want predict able performance, fewer emergency calls, and smarter long-term capital planning.
