How to judge roofing work

A roof is the one system that protects every other part of a building, which is why the way a contractor inspects matters more than the brochure. A thorough look covers flashing, penetrations, valleys and decking — not just the field of shingles — because that is where water actually finds its way in.

Roof lifespan depends more on installation quality and attic ventilation than on the material alone. Poor ventilation cooks shingles from underneath, and incorrect nailing patterns void many manufacturer warranties. The useful questions to ask any roofer are about process and sequence, not only price.

Typical lifespan ranges by roofing material (industry averages; actual life depends on climate, ventilation and installation quality)
MaterialTypical lifespanNotes
Asphalt shingle15–30 yearsMost common; ventilation strongly affects service life
Metal40–70 yearsStanding seam generally outlasts exposed-fastener panels
Clay or concrete tile50–100 yearsUnderlayment usually needs renewal sooner than the tile
Slate75–150 yearsWeight requires adequate framing capacity
Single-ply membrane (flat)20–30 yearsSeams and terminations are the usual failure points

What customers say

Chris and his team were extremely professional throughout the entire process. Chris helped me from the very beginning by inspecting the roof, providing sample photos of different roof colors, and helping me choose the best roof and gutter colors to match my house. The entire process was fast, smooth, and professional. It took only three days to complete the project, and they did an excellent job cleaning up all of the old roofing materials afterward. I am very impressed with the quality of their work, communication, and attention to detail. I highly recommend Chris and his team to anyone looking for a reliable roofing company.

From start to finish the experience with The Roof Doctor was absolutely excellent! Chris showed up early for the bid appointment. He was then very accessible and answered all questions I had. The team went above and beyond expectations. They were thorough, professional and exhibited concern as well as attention to detail. The cleanup was extremely good. I’d highly recommend The Rood Doctor.

I have probably purchased 10 roofs in my lifetime and the most positive experience by far has been with The Roof Doctor, these guys are incredible. Rob and his team did not miss a deadline or detail, everything was perfect. Best roofer in the Salt Lake valley!
