These are photos of some of my shingles. I tried to pick the worst. How many more years (any?) Are left for this roof, barring extreme weather events? It has no functional issue at present. It is 17 years old currently.

Less than 5 years.
Ironic.
I have been eyeballing my roof the last week. I knew a few years ago that we were on borrowed time. I made a list of 10 roof contractors today and called them. I will have some good info by the end of the week. It's amazing how quick they respond to inquiries about quotes.

If you have a hail storm and roofing companies show up at your door and ask to evaluate your roof, let them. I made the mistake of holding off but seven of my neighbors got new roofs negotiated with their respective insurance companies and these roofing guys. I thought I knew what I was doing by waiting for my insurance company’s assigned agent to inspect. He said “there’s not enough damage to warrant a replacement”. I screwed myself out of a roof….
It's difficult to guess without seeing everything, including all penetrations and from within the attic space.
It could go another 12yrs before you have a leak or it could go 4 before plywood starts getting damp.
Assuming these were 30yr shingles, in many parts of the country this means you need a replacement at around 15-17.

you will be shocked on how much a new roof costs now...I was back in April when I got my new roof after 21 years on the old 3 tab shingle roof...
