I recently was browsing another forum on Roofing and I think some of the same names are over there and someone asked being new to the roofing game and was considering IKO and some strong controversy responded so I would like to hear perspective on this sight.
I have been using IKO a very long time and I have never seen a problem- ever!
We always snap course lines every other and years ago they varied so we snapped every course. Big deal! We also snap every course with 3 tabs so what's the deal with that? The ones that we have been getting are a very consistent 5 3/4" so we snap every other.
One time we had a shading problem on a multi unit (1,900 square) 3 tab roof and they were quick to provide the new and compensate for time and trouble (affected area was less than 20 square section).
I am guessing the Roofer's here that swear by GAF of CertainTeed are Certified through there choice?
As I said before I carry in only one board sample in the home. It is IKO Cambridge 30 and I can honestly say in my region (Vermont) I have never heard of a defective IKO product and I cannot about the CertainTeed/ Bird. I can sit across the table from Homeowners and tell them exactly this "I have never ever had a issue with this shingle. I put it on my own house in this color".
I think to be successful in any business is honesty, believing in your product and mostly- say what you do and do what you say!
