I my opinion, shingle manufacturers provide 25 and 30 year warranties as a way to sell their product. I think the warranty only covers the material and it is pro-rated based on the age of the roof. Your homeowners insurance company may tell that you need a new roof to get insurance, but the shingle manufacturer may tell you the roof is fine. Also, shingles will last a lot longer in colder climates. In The Villages, if you have a 15 or 20 year old roof, you should be considering replacing it.
