The majority of the cottage has interior pine shiplap mounted to the topside of the ceiling beams. On top of that, I assume, there's plywood, tar paper and the asphalt shingles.

Just curious Winilyme, If you're not experiencing leaks why do you want to replace. Just being proactive or are there obvious signs of roof wear on the current shingles??
Reason I ask is just because your roof is 15 years old you could easily get another 15 years out of it if its currently in good shape. The asphalt roof on my island home is also 15 years old but after inspecting it I found it to be in excellent shape and good for at least another 10 + years...
