The answer is that in Northern Virginia homes architectural shingles can last 25 to 30 years, and in some cases even longer, depending on the installation, ventilation, and other factors. There is a reason why architectural (or dimensional\/laminate) shingles are the middle ground standard &ndash; they last about 10 years longer than simple 3-tab shingles but are much less costly than metal. However the actual number against the guarantee and the one you do receive can differ greatly and a lot of it depends on our local climate. Here are the factors that really count for the lifespan of your roof.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ox42fbj e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ox42fbj\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-jynti93 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"jynti93\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:2px;color:#A5243D;font-weight:600;margin-bottom:4px;\">The Quick Answer<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-vlvztxs elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"vlvztxs\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How Long Do Architectural Shingles Last?

These dark streaks of algae are caused by hot humid summers which promote algae growth, and by frost and thaw periods in the winter which cause tension on the shingle mat and sealant. Humidity and a lack of ventilation are the worst combination and can cause a roof to end up with 5 or more years shaved off of the life expectancy. Two of the most intelligent steps to ensure the investment is protected is opting for algae-resistant shingles and ensuring your attic is properly ventilated.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0jtx4x e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a0jtx4x\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-wnvdnth elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"wnvdnth\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:2px;color:#A5243D;font-weight:600;margin-bottom:4px;\">Warning Signs<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fzzo6ve elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fzzo6ve\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to Tell if Your Shingle Roof is Worn Out<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58v05ez elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"58v05ez\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.75;color:#1f2937;\">A well installed roof will wear out.
