Pipe boot and vent leaks
Cracked rubber collars around pipes
Gutter guards stop leaves and debris filling the gutter, which matters because an overflowing gutter pushes water back under the shingle edge and down the fascia. They are not maintenance-free — fine debris still accumulates on top and needs clearing — but they turn a twice-yearly clearing job into an annual one and prevent the blockages that cause overflow in the first place. Quality varies enormously and the cheapest mesh types clog faster than no guard at all.
Pasco County sits on a stretch of coast where hurricane exposure is the defining fact of roofing. Sustained wind drives rain horizontally under shingle courses that would shed any vertical downpour, and it works tabs loose over hours rather than tearing them off — so the roof reads as undamaged right up until the next storm. Between seasons, the heat and humidity across Pasco County harden every rubber and sealant component and keep anything that gets wet from drying. The insurance picture matters as much as the weather here: Florida's market has reshaped how roof claims are handled, deductibles for named storms are calculated differently from ordinary ones, and documentation taken before any work starts is what decides how a claim goes.
No, and anyone saying so is overselling. Fine debris and pollen still accumulate on top and in the gutter beneath. They reduce the frequency substantially; they do not eliminate it.
Badly fitted ones can. Types that wedge under the first shingle course lift it and break the seal, which creates exactly the leak path you were trying to protect. Fitting matters more than the product.
