Manufacturer warranty vs. real-world lifespan
30-year shingles last 18–22 in this climate. Architectural shingles do better than 3-tab.
Snow load — the underappreciated factor
60+ inches of annual snow on a low-slope eave is hard on shingles, flashings, and gutters.
Hail events — what counts for an insurance claim
1-inch+ hail with directional pattern. Mark adjuster-ready damage on a roof report.
Wind — Roseville's I-35W exposure
North-south wind funnels along I-35W. South-facing roof slopes show wind-uplift damage first.
When to budget your next re-roof
On a roof that was last done in 2005, start budgeting in year 18.
