About the roof life clock
Is this a promise?
No. Roof lifespan depends on the product, the installation, the weather and the care, so the gauge shows a typical range.
Why do shade and storms matter?
Shade keeps a roof damp, which invites algae and moss, and storms bruise and loosen shingles. Both can shorten the life.
What if my roof is past its range?
Many roofs last longer than the average, and some do not. An inspection tells you the real condition.
