With proper maintenance, an expandable container house can last 15-30 years or more. The steel frame provides structural durability, while high-quality materials like rust-resistant coatings and weatherproof panels extend longevity. Regular upkeep, such as inspecting for leaks, repainting exteriors, and servicing electrical systems, can significantly prolong the lifespan. Many manufacturers offer warranties of 5-10 years for structural components, reflecting confidence in their durability. Compared to temporary shelters or mobile homes, which may last 10-15 years, expandable container houses offer a longer-lasting solution for both temporary and semi-permanent use.
