Repair or replace in Peoria
The median Peoria home was built in 1966, so an original roof would be 60 years old, past the 25–30 years architectural shingles are rated for. Here a repair mostly buys time. 69.9% of Peoria homes predate 1980, so some roofs on the street are second or third generation.
| Job | Cost | Weeks of pay |
|---|---|---|
| Small repair in Peoria | $600 | 0.53 |
| Larger repair in Peoria | $2,800 | 2.5 |
| Half of a new roof (50% rule) in Peoria | $5,200 | 4.6 |
| One year of roof life in Peoria | $380 | 0.34 |
The last row prices one year of roof life in Peoria: 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.
What weather does to a Peoria roof
- Freeze-thaw days. Water gets under shingles at night and expands as ice.
- Days at 90F or hotter. Heat bakes the oils out of asphalt and loosens sealant strips.
- Days with an inch of rain. Heavy rain tests flashing, valleys and gutters.
- Yearly precipitation. More water means more years of wet decking.
