Roofing insights or roofing bias? Do you happen to be a Owens corning preferred contractor? After working 32 years for one of the largest roofing companies in New England that’s been in business for over 80 years I felt compelled to leave a comment. I can’t speak for dynasty malarkey or vanguard products because they aren’t available in this area but To rank Owens Corning above Certainteed is absurd! Let alone IKO. Owens corning is a consumer grade shingle that can be purchased at the big box Lowe’s. I won’t even bother getting into all the issues I’ve seen with Owens corning and IKO shingles. And anyone contractor using Tamko in my opinion should be locked up. Ask any respectable contractor in North America and they will tell you Certainteed is top notch and far above the rest. The regular landmark good. landmark pro very good, landmark TL & landmark Stonegate The absolute best of the best.
@Roofing Insights Hmmm, depends on who they polled. If it was 10,000 fly by night contractors or home owners, might not be such a great result from the poll. If the poll included the top 1% highest rated contractors in America, I would trust that kind of poll. I know nothing of roofing materials but a LOT about marketing and research. I got 5 bids from super high-rated contractors. However, half use GAF, half use Certainteed. Trying to see which is better from the material perspective.
I totally agree. Owen Corning was a poor shingle mfg. from the first day they started taking over outdated shingle plants and using fiberglass matts. As far as I am concerned they never have and never will make a good shingle.
@thegroupharmonyalley builder grade. low cost…get the better OC or Malarkey, roofs matter, everything you own is under it!
@thegroupharmonyalley it’s a builder grade shingle…..typically used by guys who are price sensitive. There are far better options.
Would you consider a category for “Homeowner installation”? (do it your selfers )
I don’t think so.- for home owners we only have one tip: follow instructions and watch roofing insights
very much appreciate all the effort. Confirmed my decision in an unbiased fashion. Thanks for the straight talk
Thank you for your feedback! Much appreciated
Thank you for this content. Do you have a Canadian counterpart? I’m way north of you in Edmonton, Alberta.
We are trying to pick the best brand of shingles/roof! This helps a lot, thank you!! Great content ? Also subscribed
Thank you and welcome to the channel!
Great video,thk u, weve made our decision and their local for us as well. MALARKY FOR THA WIN!
Boom!!! Glad it helped!!!!
Nice! I went from installing OC to Atlas. This was great to see, good job ??
What made you do the switch? How do you like Atlas Shingles?
Excellent well researched video. Covers all the important parameters to assess shingles for value and quality. Awesome job!
Very informative video, appreciate your efforts. Even more informative and insightful has been reading all the comments, Thank you all!
Hey man. Id love to get some of your ideas and advice on some things . i own the roof guru in thunder bay .canada
Let’s talk. Text me 612-558-4881, I will get back to you Monday. Dmitry
Do you know why color fall off on a new roof, specially when it rains
Color doesn’t fall off a new shingle. A new job will have loose granular laying all over it and the first rain will rinse them off. But your question is impossible to happen on a NEW roof.
You left out the best Malarkey legacy
Thanks for the info!
You are welcome, hope it will help with decision
Sounds great to me, but way too long-winded.
Nice job man, I had no idea of the science behind to roof shingles. ? ?
Thanks Juan!!!!roofing shingles are not easy to make!
Definitely agree with the Tamko nailing flange they should be a one-star on their nailing flange
Yeah, I think nailing flange and granular lost should be more weighted in the total, as they are big issues that the companies don’t end up covering, and you end up fighting with them to get no where.
Great video! I like the rating system but do you feel all the rating categories are equally important, or might it be worth giving heavier weighting to more significant categories?
Done probably more important but it’s good to see how they perform against each other. Like: heaviest might not be the most expensive, and might hold granules better VS lighter can be more expensive and lose more granules or vice versa. Once you know the total rating you look at categories little different but have to be objective before you arrive there
thank you, very useful information.
Thank you for the video! This coming Tuesday I have one of your guys in your directory
coming out to give me a quote on a sheathing removal and re-roof with O.C Duration.
I’m in Illinois so we’ll see how it goes. Thank you for the directory too! Keep educating us.
Get a quote on Certainteed Landmark. They are 100 % better looking and higher quality. 3000 happy customers under our belt that would agree.
Thanks for feedback! Let us know how it goes with our contractor!
Thank you for this video, I live in Canada and I have to do my roof again after 18 years. The contractor was using the IKO shingles on my roof and I was told that the product has 25 years of warranty, however the shingles on the sunny side started to fall apart already after 18 years. I have contacted IKO and they are offering me the warranty reimbursement. My question is what is the normal lifespan for the shingles in general?
