The National Association of Home Builders and Bank of America Home Equity have  published a study of the life expectancy of nearly every component in your home. The study includes components such as floor coverings, foundations, roof materials, HVAC components, water heaters, windows, cabinets and much more.

The life expectancy values listed in the report are only averages.  The actual liftime of your home's components will vary depending on the quality of the component, the extent of wear the component has been subjected to, and the level of care and maintenance the home's owner(s) has provided.

American Dream Home Inspection Service has provided this report as a courtesy to its clients and does not necessarily endorse the values listed in the report.
