Roof
The life expectancy of your roof really depends on where you live, along with building design, materials and how much work you put into maintaining it. In general, a tile, copper or slate roof can last more than 50 years. Wood shake roofs should last about 30 years, while you’ll get about 25 years out of fibre cement. Asphalt shingles will give you about 20 years of reliable service.
Refrigerator
You’ll get about six to 15 years out of your refrigerator. The most common refrigerator repairs include ice maker failure, main control board failure and a clogged drain.
Dishwasher
Consumer Reports asked manufactures of 13 dishwasher brands to weigh in on the lifespan of the appliance, and 10 years is about the norm. All manufactures noted it’s important to follow the owner’s manual and regularly clean out your dishwasher to keep it running properly.
