I also realize that the home inspection before purchasing should address this (along with the big shingle issue I've read about), but once again, first hand experience can't be beat. Thanks in advance to all who respond.
As previous post from Arctic Fox said roughly 20 yrs. Then many insurance companies will not insure your roof. We had damage during Irma and had to replace ours. The shingles get old and brittle and are more easily damaged in a storm. Len
