Another roofing thread/question
. Getting some roof quotes and I find myself coming back to this question.
Assuming everything else is proper / not causing the newly installed shingles to age prematurely, what's the real world expected life of an arcitrectural shingle installed today (talking Timberline HD or the comperable IKO shingle).
I know, lot's of variablies that could cause premature wear but assuming everything is done correctly, are these really going to last 50+ years like GAFs Material Defect Coverage would lead one to believe or are they going to age out well before that, and if so, what's a realistic life?
Located in lower NY, 80 to 90 degrees F in the summer, very "easy" roof.
