Lifespan Of Roofs, Windows & Siding In Springfield, VA

July 17, 2023

Springfield is known for its prime location and charming homes, but the area’s climate means that keeping homes looking and functioning their best can be challenging. By understanding how long roofs, windows and siding are likely to last here, homeowners can prepare for maintenance and replacement to preserve their Springfield home’s exterior.

Average Lifespan Of Roofs In Springfield, VA

the house is covered with a red shingle material roofThere are several factors that determine the ultimate lifespan of a roof in Springfield. The first is the roof’s material. There are many types of roofing material that are suitable for Northern Virginia homes, and they vary dramatically in terms of price and durability, with the more expensive options often lasting several decades longer than their cheaper counterparts.

For example, asphalt shingles, which are a top roofing choice in Springfield and throughout the nation on account of their affordability, can last from 15 to 30 years. Slate roofing, another popular material in the area, can last for longer than 100 years when it is properly maintained.

However, the quality of the roof’s installation can have a big impact on its ability to last as long as expected. Even the best roofing will need to be replaced in a relatively short span of time if it has not been installed properly. Another factor that can influence how long your roof lasts is the direction your home is facing. Continuous exposure to the sun can take a major toll on the roofs of Springfield homes and reduce their lifespan significantly.

Assuming proper installation and minimal sun exposure, here is a look at how long some of the most common roofing materials will last in Springfield:

  1. Asphalt: 15 to 30 years
  2. Wood: 30 to 40 years
  3. Metal: 50 years
  4. Tile: 100 years
  5. Slate: 100 to 150 years

The longevity of your roof can also be influenced by its color, with darker roofs absorbing more heat and thus deteriorating more quickly than lighter roofs. A hurricane or aggressive storm can also cause a roof to fail prematurely.

Average Lifespan Of Windows In Springfield, VA

Classical empty room interior 3d render,The rooms have wooden floors and gray walls ,decorate with white moulding,there are white window looking out to the nature view.The relatively moderate temperatures in Springfield mean that most windows will perform up until the higher end of the expected lifespan for their material.

Vinyl Windows

Vinyl, the most popular material for windows, can last for as long as 40 years with minimal maintenance. Vinyl windows are excellent at resisting mildew, mold and moisture, making it ideal for the Northern Virginia weather with its wet and freezing winters; warm, humid summers and storm season.

Wood Windows

While wood windows boast an even longer lifespan – potentially lasting 100 years – they have very high maintenance needs. This means, among other tasks, staining and repainting them every few years. The wet conditions in Springfield can reduce their lifespan dramatically if they are not well cared for as humidity can wreak havoc on these windows, causing them to warp and rot prematurely.

Aluminum Windows

While aluminum is not vulnerable to many of the issues that can compromise wood windows, these windows are prone to rusting. Northern Virginia homeowners need to wipe them down after rainy weather to avoid the buildup of condensation that can cause rusting.

With proper care, aluminum windows can last for up to 25 years in Springfield. However, hail can dent aluminum windows and compromise their longevity. These windows should be inspected after storms so that any issues can be addressed immediately.

Like roofs, the precise longevity of all types of windows will depend on the quality of the installation.

It is relatively easy for Springfield homeowners to determine when their windows need to be replaced. A noticeable draft and rotten or moldy frames indicate the window is no longer performing optimally. Rising utility bills without a change in rates can also indicate failing windows.

Average Lifespan Of Siding In Springfield, VA

Attached townhomes roof lineSiding can last from 15 to 100 years in Springfield depending on its material, the quality of the installation, how well it is maintained, and any damage it sustains from bad weather or storms.

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl is a very durable siding material that can last for 60 years or longer in Northern Virginia and requires very little maintenance. It can stand up to hail and other types of weather-related damage that are commonly seen in the area.

Wood Siding

Another popular siding material in Springfield is cedar. Although it is often chosen for its aesthetic appeal, it requires significant maintenance. The cedar planks often wear out and need to be replaced within 15 to 20 years in Northern Virginia, although they may last for as long as 30 years with excellent maintenance, such as regular painting and staining and swift siding replacement of any moldy shingles.

Aluminum Siding

Aluminum siding can be found on many homes in Springfield. This material can last for around 40 years, but it dents fairly easily and should be thoroughly inspected after hail storms and heavy rain. It does not require much maintenance to meet its expected lifespan and is not susceptible to mold and pests.

    I contracted Adelphia to paint my living room, dining room and a hallway. The two tradesmen arrived exactly on time on the first day and prepared the areas. They filled holes, repaired a long crack on the ceiling and two on one of the walls then painted the ceiling. They came back on time the next day to add a second coat of paint on the ceilings and to paint the walls and trim. The painters were courteous, polite and worked hard with just a short lunch break both days. Their clean up was excellent and the job was outstanding. This is the second time we have hired Adelphia, and in both instances my wife and I were very pleased. I would not hesitate in recommending them.read more

    We hired Adelphia Exteriors for our Exterior Painting Project and we are very happy with the finished product. Rob provided the estimate within one business day. Viki promptly and kindly helped us to schedule the start date after our project was delayed because of weather. Nick visited the job site to make sure all the exterior colors accurately matched the existing colors. Nick made sure all the areas that required maintenance painting were carefully addressed. He even replaced our house numbers which was a way better option than painting them. He also meticulously worked with Diego to reinstall two shutters that were already partially detached. Diego and his painting team did an amazing job painting all our exterior brick, porch, garage frame and metal light fixtures. They were very detailed in their painting services and professional. Again, we are very pleased with the results.read more

    From our initial consultation with Rob until the job was completed, our experience with Adelphia Exteriors was great! Rob was very easy to talk to, made sure we understood all our options and answered all our questions. There was absolutely ZERO pressure and no attempt to upsell us on anything. The install of our 19 windows was done in one day, the crew was on time and did a great job. We couldn't be happier with the windows and would recommend Adelphia without hesitation.read more

    They were wonderful. Prior to signing up with them, we met with multiple other companies who tried to hard sell us into signing the same day to receive a discount. When George walked into my house I immediately told him we would not be signing on day one, and he laughed and said no problem! He was so agreeable and so easy to work with and the fact that he comes from a family business, I just had a good feeling about them. Not once did he try to hard sell us and pressure us to close, he gave us plenty of time to ask lots of questions and visit a show room in order for us to make our decision. They just finished installing some amazing windows, approximately 25, and a brand new front door. We are absolutely thrilled with the product and the quality of their installation and cleanup. They are a good company to work with! And I would not hesitate to use them again!read more

    This company is great! I had quotes by three different companies to replace windows, paint our brick, install new siding, install new doors, install new gutters/down spouts, plus add new insulation! Adelphia was the only company I contacted for an estimate that would take care of all my needs with one contract. This is a family owned company that has been extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Our initial appointment was with George, who wrote the estimate, the contract, and was our main point of contact; Vickie (mom) runs the office and frequently coordinated with me by phone; and Nick (dad) founded the business in the 1980s and oversaw the painting. The painting is second to none. multiple coats with the highest quality materials looks beautiful! Next came the exterior siding. We wanted to replace our original siding and decided to change it to vinyl shake! You can see the results in the before and after photos. We are thrilled with the results! The replacement doors and windows were installed efficiently and are so beautiful. We selected Adelphia based on their competitive pricing and excellent reviews on Angie's List and Yelp. George worked with us at every step along the way to make sure we were satisfied. The contractors that Adelphia use are careful, professional, punctual, and do excellent work! The original contract included a thank you note by George that said they were determined to exceed our expectations, well, they delivered! I highly recommend Adelphia Exteriors for their value, workmanship, and personal attentiveness.read more

    We hired Adelphi Exteriors to replace our roof, siding, and gutters for our house and could not be happier with their great work. They were very professional, thorough and the work was done in a timely manner. They are a family owned business that we found though a friend who has used them multiple times. I would highly recommend them. We are also planing to use them to replace our windows in the future.UPDATE!!! Our windows have now been replaced and I am still just as happy with their service. I have also requested a quote for painting in the future.read more

    We used Adelphia to replace the insulation in our attic. Due to the need to schedule the work for after a different contractor completed a repair of the ridge vent, we needed some flexibility on their part. This was handled with patience and understanding. The actual work was done very professionally (both the removal of the old damaged insulation and the installation of the new). The workers arrived on time, maintained a very clean work site and were very polite and respectful. I highly recommend this company.read more

    The Adelphia team was great from start to finish when we had three windows installed in the basement. It was a bit tricky -- one competitor said they couldn't do the job. Adelphia didn't flinch at all. I'm now enjoying sitting in the basement with the windows open on 85 degree day. Choose these guys!read more

    Their prices were the best when we bid the job. Their workers were very efficient, professional. They did a great job and cleaned out after they left. They even took the old window screens and debris with them. And it’s a family company. We’re thinking of them for the roof next. Great job!read more

    Great service and price for new windows in my home. Major renovation project and Adelphia Exteriors was only window company willing to give me a ballpark estimate with me giving estimated window sizes and them not seeing the house, so I could budget all the renovations to figure out if I could do windows. NO hard sell like other window companies. I took my time and signed the contract 1-2 months later after they gave me a firm quote. Very happy with the result.read more

    We used Adelphia to replace our windows. We had a few estimates and while the VinylMax windows may not have been quite as premium as the other option we were seriously considering, the product got great reviews and Adelphia in particular was highly reviewed and left a great impression. And pricing was very competitive too. The windows arrived before predicted and installation started exactly when scheduled and wrapped up ahead of schedule. The installer did a great job of cleaning up afterwards and accommodating our tiny house that doesn't necessarily allow for all furniture to be far from windows at the same time :) Definitely would use them for other projects in the future.read more

    This was our 4th project with Adelphia Exteriors. Last year they replaced all our windows; replaced the original vinyl siding; and replaced our original gutters and downspouts. This year we asked them to come back to replace our 24-year old roof shingles that had become stained and looked terrible alongside all the other new exterior features. Once again Adelphia did a wonderful job at a competitive price. They went the extra mile to make sure that we found the particular color and style of shingle that we wanted to match the siding work they the had done in 2020. Adelphia is a family-run business that is committed to making sure their customers are completely satisfied. I would highly recommend them for any of your exterior home improvement needs.read more

    We just recently employed this company to install siding on our upper storey. I have to say the service and product install was outstanding. George and Tim went out of their way to make sure all details of the install were complete including cleanup, and took their time to attend to details. They stayed over to finish one large side so my family were not inconvenienced next day with the banging. Tim kept me informed of status and invited viewing of progress. George was patient and meticulous. Both were focused on doing a great job and it shows. Neighbours have also been outside to praise their work. George kept me up to date and the job moving- I knew I could rely on him if a problem occurred, but that didn’t happen. Chris has to be included too as part of the team, because his no-pressure sales pitch is why I chose the company. Thank you for the great experience with your company and work ethics of your team- it has made a huge difference to our property and I may add our lives.read more
