Is this the normal costs today and what is the average life span of a 30 year Owens corning shingle .

People, including me, tend not to read the details of any warranty.
I expect a 30 year roof SHINGLE warranty is a prorated warranty and is based on LIST PRICE not what you would pay. Also, I expect it covers the shingles not the labor to put it up.
RE: 17,000
It does seem high to me BUT, it is possible that the plywood under the shingles has rotted.
Sadly, with all the people screaming to have their roofs done, a roofer will give you a high price-if you don't take it someone else will.
There is no shortage of this kind of thing. Look on craisglist and you will see people selling generators for 1200 that you can buy for half that price brand new.
