How Long Do Roofs Last in Seattle, Washington?

The lifespan of your Seattle roof largely depends on the materials used during installation or roof replacement. Some roofing materials are more durable and lasting than others. For example, asphalt, dimensional or architectural shingle roofs can last anywhere from 20 to 50 years, while cedar shake roofs can last 30 years, and metals roofs can last between 40 and 70 years.


How long your roof lasts also depends on the climate and weather. In general, the more extreme the weather, the shorter your roof’s lifespan.



In areas like Seattle and the Puget Sound, common factors that influence the lifespan of a roof are:


Rain: Heavy and frequent rain can cause wood shingles to rot and ultimately create leaks in your roof. Every rainstorm will also carry off some granules from asphalt shingle roofs, which can increase the rate of roofing material decline.


Wind: Heavy wind can tear and rip off your roof’s shingles causing damage and leaks. It can also accelerate the loss of granules on shingle roofs.


Moss: Moss thrives in Washington’s cold and damp weather, which means it’ll likely grow on the edges and in the cracks of your roof. Since moss absorbs water, it may cause your roof to rot and water to leak through the damaged shingles. 


Poor maintenance: Your roof should be occasionally cleaned and inspected to catch and fix any damage. Failing to maintain your rood may result in a shorter lifespan.


Insufficient ventilation: A lack of proper ventilation will lead to heat accumulating in the attic space, which in turn can damage and weaken your roof’s shingles.


Signs You May Need A Seattle Roof Replacement

If you’ve moved into an older Seattle home, you may not know how old your roof is and whether it needs replacing. You can examine the roof and look for signs of wear and tear or you can reach out to our team at Chet’s Roofing and schedule an roof replacement inspection. For safety reasons, we highly recommend the latter option.


Being an attentive homeowner who keeps up with maintenance is great, but even the most committed DIYers generally aren’t roofers. Our inspectors excel at accurately analyzing the condition of roofs and spotting damage the untrained eye might miss.


Signs you likely need a roof replacement include:

  • A sagging roofline (the roofline should be straight)
  • Frequent leaks and water damage inside your home
  • Large patches of moss or algae
  • Loose, damaged or missing shingles
  • Missing granules
  • Dark spots
  • Discoloration around the vents
  • Damage around the chimney


Have you had your roof repaired, but the issues keep coming back? Chances are your roof has reached the end of its lifespan and you need a roof replacement.
