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
Great experience with Ken from Rampart. Listened to my concerns for the roof on the first visit, took time to put an estimate together and returned to my house to go over the estimate in person and answer any more questions I had (I had plenty since I had met with several other roofers). The work was completely in the exact timetable he told me it would which was much appreciated. My property was well picked up after the work as well. Great doing business with Rampart.

I worked with Ken at Rampart Roofing. He was very responsive, answered all my questions, was able to complete an estimate and complete the work within 2 weeks. I appreciated his professionalism and ability to make this process very easy and seamless. I received 4 different quotes for my roof repair and Rampart Roofing provided the most reasonable expectations for needed repairs and the most fair pricing. Ken was honest and down to earth, which I greatly appreciated! Alaney and Skylar in the front office were nice and professional, easily answered my questions regarding billing and statements and provided any needed documents quickly. I definitely recommend Rampart Roofing!
