Shingle Roofing. Shingle Roofs last between 10 â 30 years in Phoenix depending on the quality of the material on your roof. Regular 3 tab shingles last between 10 â 15 years in Phoenix. Architectural or dimensional shingles are a lot thicker and can last from 15 â 30 years.
Your house. The aforementioned Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components report states that a typical roof made of asphalt shingles should last about 20 years. Roofs made of fiber cement shingles should last 25 years, and roofs made of wood shakes are typically good for 30 years. If you have a roof made of slate, copper, clay or concrete, you can expect it to last 50 years. The foundation and frame of your house should last a lifetime if they were properly built. And while the walls should also last the lifetime of the house, aluminum windows are only expected to hang around for 15 to 20 years. Wooden windows should last as long as 30 years. Your garage door opener won't have as lucky of a fate, however. Expect it to last 10 to 15 years.
