Asphalt shingles cover most homes in the country because they suit almost any climate and style. Architectural (dimensional) shingles are thicker, look more textured and handle wind better than older three-tab shingles.
Typical lifespan
Around 20 to 30 years, shorter in hot, sunny climates and after repeated hail.
Common repairs
- Replacing missing or wind-lifted shingles
- Resealing or replacing flashing and pipe boots
- Ridge cap replacement
When to re-roof
Widespread curling, cracking, granule loss or repeated leaks usually mean it's time for a new shingle roof.
