Generally, in the south 15 years is average but I think the Timberlines have 25 year warranties. A white roof will save even more in cooling costs. Most all roofs along the coast had white roofs until the early 60's when colors became popular and nobody cared about energy conservation. Of course, faulty installation would affect and shorten life.
