Yep. Been in the business 42 yrs. in Central Fla.; 24 as a Company owner. The vultures (out of town roofing companies) have discovered how gullibke Villagers are. Shingles are warranteed by mfrs. for 25 yrs. (3-tabs) or 30 yrs. (architecturals). Why would mfrs. put in writing in their warrantees that their products will last 25 or 30 yrs. if they won't? There is also something going on where home owner's insurance companies are not fighting roofing company inspection reports calling for a new roof - and just paying off. Maybe arbitration is too expense. At any rate, homeowners are being scammed. I can tell you many actual stories.
