Q: How long do architectural shingles last and how often should they be replaced?

• <div><p>Architectural shingles typically last between 20 and 30 years.

The actual life of your shingles can be shorter if you live in an area prone to strong winds, hailstorms, or other severe weather. To avoid the risk of roof failure and costly water damage from leaks, it is recommended to replace your roof before it reaches the end of its expected life. Scheduling regular roof inspections every few years is a good way to assess your roof's condition and determine the best timeline for replacement.</p></div>
