How Long Should a New Roof Last? Understanding Roof Warranties & Lifespan
Standard Lifespans & Legal Requirements
New Zealand’s Building Code requires non-structural roof coverings to last a minimum of 15 years. However, high-quality long-run metal roofs installed by professionals like Auckland Roofing Solutions commonly last 25 to 30 years, or even longer, depending on environmental exposure and ongoing maintenance.
Roof Warranties You Can Rely On
Roof warranties typically fall into two categories:
- Manufacturer’s Warranty: Covers the roofing material. Steel roofing systems such as Coloursteel® often include up to 30-year warranties when used in the appropriate environment and maintained correctly.
- Workmanship Warranty: Covers installation quality. Auckland Roofing Solutions proudly provides a 5-year workmanship guarantee, reinforcing their long-term commitment to quality.
Factors That Impact Roof Lifespan
To ensure your roof performs for decades:
- Coastal Exposure: Salt and wind can reduce roof life. Auckland Roofing Solutions selects and installs the right material for your environment.
- Quality Materials: Premium brands with long warranties are always recommended.
- Professional Installation: A roof is only as good as its installation. Licensed Building Practitioners at Auckland Roofing Solutions ensure strict adherence to NZ standards.
- Regular Maintenance: Annual inspections and timely repairs prevent small issues from becoming costly problems.
