So, How Long Do Roofs Last in Texas?
Roofs in Texas generally last longer than roofs in the Midwest or Northeast. Those regions of the United States tend to have extreme cold and extreme heat in their respective seasons. Thanks in part to Texas’ good weather throughout most of the year, your Texas roof will likely last longer than a roof elsewhere.
It Truly Depends on the Area of Texas
However, the longevity of your roof is conditional upon the area of Texas you reside in. Let’s explore the various areas of Texas and how long you can expect your roof to last when exposed to the elements on a daily basis.
San Antonio, Texas Roofing
San Antonio has good weather year-round and hasn’t had a snowfall since 1985. This is beneficial for your home’s roof, as snow and freezing temperatures can cause your roof to constrict and contract over time, which may result in long-term damage. San Antonio is a city in which your home’s roof should last longer than some other Texas cities.
Houston, Texas Roofing
Houston has some of the highest humidity levels in the state, thanks in large part to its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico. In addition to the high humidity levels, Houston also has to worry about hurricanes on an annual basis which may cause damage to the entire home you reside in, not just the roof.
Austin, Texas Roofing

Aside from those factors, Austin is a city in which you should have a relatively long-lasting roof based one weather patterns.
