More than 80 percent of American homes have asphalt shingle roofs. Three-tab lasts about 20 years, architectural about 30 and metal 40 to 80. A Dunkirk house from 1981 has likely had at least one new roof, and many are ready for another. Our free inspection tells you whether yours is one of them, with photos to back it up.
