Today's shingles are garbage. Seems like it does not matter whose you use. I am 17 years into a "Premium" 35 year shingle and they are shot. Most of the gravel has collected in the gutters or washed away. I was up on the roof last weekend dealing with a vent leak and did a walk around. The dimensional parts of the shingles are just peeling off. Have been finding them laying in the yard. Color retention of the shingles is also terrible. From the road, its easy to identify different individual packages of shingles as you could actually do a count of different color batches that have held their color differently. Absolute garbage. Trying to make a claim with vendors is a joke. They have more excuses about what caused the failure than its worth chasing. Seriously looking at steel for the next roof.
Thanks for the input.
That is why I am being 100 percent silly with using al the recommended products that go with the roof.
I want no excuses if and when it fails.
Looks like tgat is the loophole tget use is that you did not use the whole system
So your shortcuts or other materials are the cause of the failed roof.
It will add some extra money to do it 100 percent by the book and some companies even charge to register for the warrenty.
Just cutting 3 tab shingles and using them for hip and ridge voids the wind garrenty.
I have used the recommended ones on my dads roof and they are not cheap.
But did stay on at 130mph and the roof did too. If I woukd have used 3 tab cut up and roof woukd have peeled was told void warrenty.
I guess it is only money. It my cars like money too.
If the roof and other damaged things did get it something else would.
