        "text": "The typical lifespan of a new roof varies significantly based on the material chosen. Standard asphalt shingle roofs generally last 20-30 years, while higher-grade architectural shingles or metal roofs can last 40-70 years or more. This lifespan directly affects your estimate, as materials with longer warranties and greater durability typically have a higher upfront cost but may offer better long-term value. We factor material lifespan into our recommendations.",
