A roof in Houston typically lasts an average of 20 years. However, your roof may last less than that or even beyond that, depending on the type of Houston roofing your home has. Houston weather conditions will also impact how long your roof lasts. In the event that you need Houston roof repairs or a Houston roof replacement, you can actually use your homeowner’s insurance to help cover some of the costs. This post will break down how insurance claims work.
