How long does a roof last on a manufactured home.

Shingles usually look better last 25 or so years and have been used forever. Possibilities can range from the 20 s to the 50 s and higher when it comes to counting the years a home could last. A wind uplift rating of 110 mph or higher can be achieved with a proper installation of cedar shingle shake roof. With regular maintenance however a cedar shake roof can last around 40 years.

Not surprisingly cheaper roofing materials won t. Metal roofs last a long time and are more affordable. I guess it s just a personal preference. And there could be estimations both higher and lower than that.

The history of modular homes goes all the way back to the early 20th century. No there is nothing about the design that would imply a lack of longevity. Rather than a foundation which can shift and crack over time the manufactured home is on a metal chassis that should last forever. Additionally the simple roof design if kept up keeps the possibility of moisture intrusion lower in the manufactured home.

There may not be one simple answer.
