Will “Lifetime Shingles” Really Last a Lifetime?

Do we really pay attention to the fine print in warranties, especially when it comes to lifetime limited warranties? Something that is going to last a lifetime sounds great but the operative phrase to pay attention to is limited warranty. This kind of warranty is limited to specific components, certain types of defects, or other conditions and can apply to virtually anything the manufacturer decides to include. Therefore, it is important to understand what constitutes a warranty as it applies to asphalt roofing shingles.
