The homes under these roofs
Half the homes in Evansville predate 1960; the typical house is about 66 years old. Against a median home value of $129,100, a $10,012 mid-range asphalt roof is 8 percent of the house. Before 1980, 74 percent of the housing stock went up. That is long enough for roughly 3 asphalt roof cycles, so replacement, not first install, is the usual job.
