WRONG: Virtually all shingles on Villages are either Owens-Corning or Certainteed. There are NO "low quality" shingles, In fact, all 3-tabs are warranteed 25 yrs. and all architecturals , 30 yrs. If never heavily damaged by weather, they will last ....... (drum roll),....... circa 25 and 30 years. So, virtually no Villages roofs are yet to the point of NEEDING to be replaced. I get several calls per wk. from homeowners saying some door-to-door roofer told them they had "54" damaged shingles or such. I go there and there is zero damage. My qualifications: I've been on over 10,000 roofs in 40+ yrs. in Florida, worked on crews + thousands of leak repairs, plus owned my own State Certified (licensed) roofing company with 20 to 75 employees for 24 yrs. - WHICH installed over 5,000 roofs. Many roofing companies from other areas have discovered the goldmine that is The Villages. If you must repair or replace your roof, use a local company.
