The life of a slate roof depends on the type of slate used and where the stone was quarried. On average, slate roofs can last from 75 to 200 years. Although wood is rarely used as a roofing material today, a well-maintained wood roof can last 20 to 60 years. Poorly installed and maintained wood roofs are subject to cracking, shrinkage, or cupping of the shingles and will fail in a much shorter period of time.
