    Episode 10: Why Do Some Roofs Last 30 Years and Others Fail at 12?

    What makes one roof stand strong for decades while another begins to fail far too soon? The answer goes far beyond the shingles you see from the street. In this episode of Right at Home, Ryan Johnson of Right Roofing explains why two roofs made from similar materials can have dramatically different lifespans. The discussion explores the hidden factors that influence long-term roof performance, including installation workmanship, moisture control, ventilation, flashing details, storm damage, and routine inspections. This episode breaks down why a manufacturer’s projected lifespan is not a guaranteed replacement timeline, how small installation mistakes can shorten a roofing system’s service life, and why early signs of trouble should never be ignored. It also explains how homeowners can make better roofing decisions by looking beyond price and choosing a contractor who evaluates the entire system rather than focusing only on visible shingles.
