A note about asphalt shingle warranties

Here’s a ‘busted’ CBC investigation into the false marketing of asphalt singles that are wearing out much earlier than manufacturers are rating. Watch the video below where a shingled roof with a 25 year warranty is already breaking down and needing replacement after only 12 years. Some companies use deceptive marketing techniques, including telling you a shingle roof will last for 25 years up to 40 years. Some are even marketed as ‘lifetime’ roofs, when the reality is that many seriously need to be replaced after only 12 to 15 years. Some warranties decrease as the roof gets older and many don’t include labour costs to replace warn out asphalt shingles.

Roofing is a long term decision. Consider value over cost.
