The National Association of Home Builders published a study on common home components and the life expectancy. The report covers everything from appliances, to roofing. Other items include countertops, electrical devices, lumber faucets, windows and much more.
The report should be used as a guideline.
Here are a few excerpts:
Counter tops: Natural stone = lifetime. Cultured marble products = 20 years.
Decks: Under ideal conditions = 20 years.
Flooring: Natural wood = 100 years or more. Vinyl = up to 50 years. Carpet = 8-10 years.
