Three-tab shingle is rated around twenty years and lies flat with cut tabs. Architectural shingle is thicker, dimensional, and rated twenty-five to thirty.

Rated life assumes adequate ventilation and normal weather, and Oklahoma sun and hail are neither. The permit record usually gives the install date. Granule loss in the gutters, curling edges and exposed mat are the signs that rated life has been reached regardless of the number.
