Oklahoma’s extreme weather plays a major role in how long your roof lasts. Homeowners in Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Jenks, and Owasso often ask the same question: “How long should my roof really last?”
Average Shingle Roof Lifespan
In ideal conditions:
- 3-tab shingles: 15–20 years
- Architectural shingles: 20–30 years
- Impact-resistant shingles: 30+ years
In Oklahoma, those numbers are often reduced due to hail, wind, heat, and UV exposure.
Factors That Reduce Roof Life
- Poor attic ventilation
- Storm damage
- Improper installation
- Low-quality shingles
- Granular loss
Regular inspections can significantly extend roof life and prevent surprise failures.
When Should You Replace Your Roof?
