How long roofs typically last (CR3 guidance)

CR3 publishes typical ranges: asphalt 20–30 years, metal 40–70 years with care, wood shake 20–25 years, slate often 75+ years with flashing/support updates. Actual life depends on climate, ventilation, installation quality, and maintenance.

Signs you may need repair or replacement

Missing, cracked, or curling shingles; interior water stains; sagging sections; granules in gutters; rising energy costs tied to poor attic performance. CR3 recommends a thorough inspection before choosing repair versus full replacement.

What transparent service should include

CR3 emphasizes communication from inspection through cleanup: timelines, materials, expectations, and progress updates. Ask for the scope in writing, manufacturer warranty documents, workmanship coverage terms, and whether storm-damage insurance coordination is included.
