Asphalt shingles are the roof on more than 80 percent of American homes, and they wear out on a schedule: roughly 20 years for three-tab and 30 for architectural, against 40 to 80 for metal. In a place with homes from 1944 and from last year, the only reliable way to know where a particular roof stands is to get up on it.
