Anybody here estimate age of shingles?

Insurance company is likely going by the permit history. As far as they're concerned, even if it's newer it was installed without a permit.

Is that a thing now? I've never heard of pulling a permit for a roof job.

Depends on where you live but getting more common everywhere.

You don’t have to get a permit in Georgia to replace a roof.

Damn fine idea! Now if I could figure out how to make it go back in time.....

PM me your email & address and I’ll help you out.

Yep, anything to squeeze you for another permit fee.

Need to know age for my insurance co. They say 2003, I think they are about 10 years old.

Hard to say from pics. Just had mine replaced and the roofers couldn't believe it was 19 years old when they started looking at it. However, there were a lot of wind-damaged shingles and boots were looking bad.

Think of the insurance company being like Bill Crosby. They will date rape you in the ass if you don't protect yourself.
