Stand atop any roof in Portland, Oregon and take a look around. If you know what you are looking for you will see that half of the roofs in Portland are installed wrong. Immediately you will notice that many roofs have the flashing installed on the wrong side of the roofing, or sometimes installed with no flashing at all.
This can create rot in the fascia and in the roof sheathing, leading to expensive repairs in the future. Look a little closer and you might notice that many of the the roofs aren't ventilated properly. A poorly ventilated composite (asphalt) shingle roof will not last nearly as long as a properly ventilated one.
You say you purchased a fifteen or thirty year roof? In conditions like a roof experiences here in the Northwest and without proper ventilation you can expect that roof to last only two thirds that long. Examine even closer and you may notice that many roofs have the flashing merely caulked to the chimney, not cut into and lapping the masonry properly.
