About this tool.
How accurate is it?
It is a planning range based on typical material lives. Your roof can do better or worse depending on installation, weather and maintenance.
What if my roof is past the range?
It does not mean failure, but it does mean an inspection is wise so you can plan repair or replacement before leaks start.
