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.
| Material | Typical lifespan | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingle | 15–30 years | Most common; ventilation strongly affects service life |
| Metal | 40–70 years | Standing seam generally outlasts exposed-fastener panels |
| Clay or concrete tile | 50–100 years | Underlayment usually needs renewal sooner than the tile |
| Slate | 75–150 years | Weight requires adequate framing capacity |
| Single-ply membrane (flat) | 20–30 years | Seams and terminations are the usual failure points |
What customers say
I recently had my roof replaced by Austermiller Roofing. I talked to several rooofing companies, some of which were very high pressure and a turn off. The Austermiller team was great at being responsive, professional, and following up. Shelby Martin was always quick to respond and provided updates regularly. Tyler Austin was my onsite manager the day the new roof was installed. He gave my updates before, during and after installation was complete. When we had an issue after installation, Lee Sweeney came out, climbed up on the roof, and made sure the necessary adjustments were made quickly. He also followed up with a gutter estimate. Lee was extremely professional and made sure we were 100% happy and was willing to go the extra mile. I had originally planned to go with another company, but was so positively overwhelmed by the level of service that Austermiller provided that I decided to use them instead. I would highly recommend Austermiller Roofing to anyone needing their roof replaced. They provide excellent customer service, a good quality product, all at a fair price. Thanks for a great experience!!

My experience with Austermiller was great, and I don’t say that lightly. We needed a complete roof replacement due to hail damage and filed a claim with our insurance agency, which approved it. Austermiller did a thorough and professional job on our roof, met all deadlines, and was always responsive when any issues came up. Most importantly, they advocated for us when dealing with issues that arose with our insurance company, ensuring we were fully compensated for all damages. This is important, because dealing with an insurance company about claim money is complicated. I can’t say enough about how important it is to have a roofing contractor that advocates for you with your insurance company by providing thorough documentation to your insurance company of about the repairs needed and then completed. I think without Austermiller, we might not have gotten our claim as thoroughly compensated. Call me a very happy customer. Austermiller is the best.
