These are photos of some of my shingles. I tried to pick the worst. How many more years (any?) Are left for this roof, barring extreme weather events? It has no functional issue at present. It is 17 years old currently.
Ply wood is mint fresh. 1 penetration prior to 2017. I fixed it. No more.It's difficult to guess without seeing everything, including all penetrations and from within the attic space.
It could go another 12yrs before you have a leak or it could go 4 before plywood starts getting damp.
Assuming these were 30yr shingles, in many parts of the country this means you need a replacement at around 15-17.
I would say less than 5 years...Also I would not replace them with 3 tab shingles again...These are photos of some of my shingles. I tried to pick the worst. How many more years (any?)

you will be shocked on how much a new roof costs now...I was back in April when I got my new roof after 21 years on the old 3 tab shingle roof...Less than 5 years.
Ironic.
I have been eyeballing my roof the last week. I knew a few years ago that we were on borrowed time. I made a list of 10 roof contractors today and called them. I will have some good info by the end of the week. It's amazing how quick they respond to inquiries about quotes.
Im torn between architecture 50 year, and metal.I would say less than 5 years...Also I would not replace them with 3 tab shingles again...
I'm in the same situation with 20 years on a Tamko architectural shingle roof. I'm leaning toward Owens Corning Duration shingles.Im torn between architecture 50 year, and metal.
All that I have been told is metal is the way to go if you can afford the initial cost..Im torn between architecture 50 year, and metal.
