Asphalt shingles top more than 80 percent of American homes. Three-tab shingles last roughly 20 years and architectural roughly 30, while metal runs 40 to 80. A 2011 roof is in its middle years, when a free inspection catches small problems cheaply. The roughly one in five Brandywine homes built before 1980 are a different story and are likely due now.
