should have known this. Planned communities generally have requirements about materials used to build homes and it's almost always asphalt shingles.

There are currently advertisements for "roofing renewal treatments" that are supposed to extend the life of asphalt shingles. I'm not sure how or if they work. I'd be interested in hearing from someone who has actually had it done and what they think of it, or if it's just another cosmetic treatment that does nothing useful.
