All shingles perform their best when properly installed, but some are better quality than others. The most common type of shingles are asphalt shingles, but these generally only last up to 30 years. The most durable roofing material with the longest life expectancy is slate, however, the price of a slate roof makes this option much less accessible than asphalt.

The longest-lasting roofing material would be slate, which maintains its integrity for about 150+ years.

For high wind, there are a few options that give the most protection. A properly installed roof can handle most strong winds and gusts, but some materials handle these hurricane-force winds better than others. Fiberglass asphalt shingles are the most affordable option but must be properly secured to withstand high winds. Metal roofing is also a great option, but these roofs tend to be more susceptible to dents and scratches from flying debris. The structure of your home can play a major factor in wind resistance, as lower-pitched and four-sided roofs handle extreme winds better than high gables with wide overhangs.

Slate is the longest-lasting roof shingles, with a whopping 150+ year lifespan. Concrete and clay tiles come in second place right at around an average of a 100-year lifespan.
