When you replace your roof, it’s reasonable for you to assume that the shingles will last around what the manufacturer warranty states. If you had a 35 year asphalt composite architectural shingle installed, then common sense dictates the roof should last around 35 years. That is assuming, of course, that it doesn’t get hammered from a hail storm. If your roof is replaced with defective shingles, the estimated remaining useful life will drastically reduce and can turn into a costly nightmare. I’ll explain some of the common manufacturer’s defects that I regularly run across in the Omaha Metro in this article.
