Terre Haute homes sit 68 years from the median build year of 1958. An original roof that old is past the 25–30 years architectural shingles are rated for, so in Terre Haute a repair mostly buys time. 70% of Terre Haute homes predate 1980, so some roofs on the street are second or third generation.
| Job | Cost | Weeks of pay |
|---|---|---|
| Small repair in Terre Haute | $600 | 0.74 |
| Larger repair in Terre Haute | $2,650 | 3.3 |
| Half of a new roof (50% rule) in Terre Haute | $5,000 | 6.2 |
| One year of roof life in Terre Haute | $364 | 0.45 |
The last row prices one year of roof life in Terre Haute: 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 Terre Haute 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.
