Asphalt shingles cover more than 80 percent of homes nationwide. Architectural shingles typically last about 30 years and three-tab about 20, while metal can go 40 to 80. A 1995 La Plata home is at or near the end of its first roof. For a house built after 2010, catching small problems early saves real money, and a free inspection from us is the easy place to start.
