ago and I thought the same thing. We have to replace the roof because of hail damage. Fortunately it was an insurance deal.

We’ve been sprucing it up. New flooring, rain guttering, new kitchen, new double glazed windows, etc. Other than paint, I keep thinking it’s the last time we redecorate. I’m 65, husband 72. We are trying to get it finished while we can still do the work ourselves. It’s close to complete.

It has a fifty year, parts and labor, warranty. At 66, I expect this to be my last roof — barring weather issues.

I asked the roofing contractor what that means, since my last roof lasted about 20 years.

He said "You ought to get about twenty years out of it".

Ah, marketing.
