Is roof shingles color fade with time?

Shingles are a lot like floors. The patterns change every few years as well as the colors. When a shingle is installed on a roof it will definitely fade with time. It is best to save some shingle packages from the initial installation to replace any shingles for roof patching in the future. The sun and the heat from the surface of the roof bake a shingle. The oils will eventually bake out and the shingle becomes brittle. If you were to break a corner off a shingle and it is pliable it is still doing well. If it breaks easily than you will find little stones in your rain gutters showing its deterioration. This will than break apart in wind storms.
