Slate roofing stands as the undisputed champion of longevity, potentially lasting over 100 years with proper installation and maintenance! While less common in Florida due to weight considerations, other extremely durable options include high-quality clay tiles (75+ years) and metal roofing (40-70 years). Concrete tiles offer excellent durability as well, typically lasting 50+ years in our climate. These premium materials often come with higher upfront costs, but when you calculate their decades of service and divide by years of protection, they frequently represent the most economical choice over time. Plus, they add significant value and curb appeal to your home!
