One of the biggest reasons real estate deals fall through is due to roofing issues. The roof can turn into one of the most expensive items to repair in your home, especially if it is not maintained properly. You might be wondering just how long should your roof last?

Here in Florida roofs typically have a shorter lifespan than in some other states because of the continuous exposure to extreme heat, high winds, and corrosion, particularly for those that live near the coastline.
