Melbourne homes sit 42 years from the median build year of 1984. An original roof that old is past the 25–30 years architectural shingles are rated for, so in Melbourne a repair mostly buys time. 39.4% of Melbourne homes predate 1980, so some roofs on the street are second or third generation.
| Job | Cost | Weeks of pay |
|---|---|---|
| Small repair in Melbourne | $700 | 0.56 |
| Larger repair in Melbourne | $3,150 | 2.5 |
| Half of a new roof (50% rule) in Melbourne | $5,900 | 4.8 |
| One year of roof life in Melbourne | $429 | 0.35 |
The last row prices one year of roof life in Melbourne: a typical architectural roof divided by its rated 25–30 years. A repair is worth paying for when it buys at least as many years as its cost divided by that figure. The 50% rule is a common rule of thumb, not a law.
