Shingle repair over the lifetime of a shingle roof
Shingle repair is common. On every 100 square feet of roof space, a typical asphalt shingle roof in Concord, NC has 87 3-tab shingles, which may need shingle repair at any time of the year.A shingle roofgenerally lasts about 20 years, but individual shingles don’t last that long, and the older the roof is, the more shingles are likely to need replacement, until it becomes cheaper to simply replace it.Their advantage is that they’re small, can be easily replaced and can be recycled when they wear out. The trouble is that they’re also easy to damage or knock out of place.
