Most Triangle homes have architectural asphalt shingles. Tree damage and wind are the main causes of sudden roof failures, and poor attic ventilation is a common hidden cause of early aging.

Permits
Many Triangle jurisdictions require a permit for re-roofing, especially with decking replacement. Your roofer should confirm and pull it.

Roofing: common questions
Is moss or algae on my roof a problem?
Dark streaks are usually algae and mostly cosmetic. Thick moss holds moisture and should be addressed.
