The life of a roof depends on local weather conditions, building and design, material quality, and adequate maintenance. Hot climates drastically reduce asphalt shingle life. Roofs in areas that experience severe weather, such as hail, tornadoes and/or hurricanes may also experience a shorter-than-normal lifespan overall or may incur isolated damage that requires repair in order to ensure the service life of the surrounding roofing materials.

There was nothing wrong with my 3 tab roof that 20 years old. Sure little sand in gutters and few lifting areas, but no leaks and looked good. Had several roof inspections, honest ones said looks good expect 5 or more years, the roof scammers said needs replaced asap. I had to replace perfectly serviceable roof to get insurance due to all scams. I found that weather in central Florida not nearly as bad as say Oklahoma where it really get hot, windy, and hail size of base balls. Normal windy day Oklahoma would be considered tropical storm day down here. I have also found that Florida full of scam artist.
I find that web site outrageous inaccurate.
