30yr or 40yr shingles?
We are about to have our roof replaced. We recieved a quote for 30yr Certainteed landmark shingles. The roofer said 40yr shingles would be about $400 more. We plan to stay in this house for a long time, so should we go with the 40yr or the 30 yr. shingles? $400 doesn't seem like too much more if in fact you get another 10 yrs. out of them, but I don't really know whether that is actually the case. BTW, the roofer seemed to feel the 30 yr. were fine.
Thanks

40 year roof
Save your money. If by some stretch you were still in the house and had a problem between the 30 and 40 year point they would probably just credit you with a bundle or two of shnigles.
Where we live it's rare for roofs to last much past 15-20 years, hailstorms usually get them first.
