Generally a roof warranty is only for the materials and is prorated based on the warranty period of the roof and the time elapsed. For a 20 year roof the depreciation would be 6/20 or 30% of the original material price of the shingles. For a 40 year roof it would be 6/40 or 15% of the replacement cost of the shingles. Read the warranty that came with your shingles to get the details of how it would be applied in your case. Local laws may also change how the warranty is applied.

Are dimesional shingles better than 3 tab?
Yes. They're thicker, which adds weight to the roof--and the heavier a roof is, the better because heavier roofs cut down on wind noise.

With the added windload resistance and not all that much higher price, I think they're well worth it.
