Your asphalt roof is about 20 years old
The life of a roof is how many years you get out of it. For a standard 3-tab asphalt shingle roof, that’s 25-years. As long as your roof has been properly ventilated and installed you should get pretty close to that 25 years of roof life.

The national average cost to replace a roof is around $8,000, with most people spending in the range of $5,500 to $11,000. The two largest variables you’ll deal with on a job like this are the square footage of your home (and thus, your roof), and the type of roofing material you choose.

Most homeowners insurance policies cover roof replacement if the damage is the result of an act of nature or sudden accidental event. Most homeowners insurance policies won’t pay to replace or repair a roof that’s gradually deteriorating due to wear-and-tear or neglect.

Recoating a flat roof should be performed every five years.

The recoating process helps to lengthen the roof’s lifespan. Furthermore, recoating at least twice a decade maintains the rooftop’s heat reflection properties. The process is also important to ensure the roof remains waterproof.
