How Long Does a Metal Roof Last
It depends on the system. An exposed fastener roof with annual maintenance runs 30 to 35 years. A concealed fastener roof can go 50 to 70 before it needs paint.
How long a metal roof lasts depends on the type of system you install. An exposed fastener system, with annual maintenance, is generally going to last you 30 to 35 years. A concealed fastener system, with little to no maintenance, can last 50 to 70 years before it needs paint.
A permanent metal roof installed properly is going to last between 50 and 70 years. What that means is no more re-roofing every 15 to 20 years.

So how long a metal roof lasts depends on the type of system that you're installing. An exposed fastener system with annual maintenance is generally going to last you anywhere from 30 to 35 years. A concealed fastener system with little to no maintenance can last between 50 to 70 years just before it needs paint. Your asphalt shingle roof is failing you and the solution is probably a metal roof. A permanent metal roof installed properly is going to last you between 50 to 70 years with little to no maintenance. So what's that mean? No more re-roofing every 15 to 20 years.
