    What roof only lasts 30 years? I’ve seen even unglazed concrete tiles, the really cheap ones that were from the 60s and still fine.

      Asphalt shingles in rainy locations. Unless you want to shell out for slate, concrete, or metal roofing, expect to replace the roof every 15-20 years.

      Slate is the way to go if your structure can support the weight. You’ll get 100+ years out of it, but it’s up to 10x more expensive than asphalt shingles and many owners want the cheapest option due to finances or not intending to live in the home long term.
