I am in the process of have a new roof installed. I was a quoted a terriffic price by a local reputable roofer, and he wants to install Tamko Heritage three dimensional fiberglass shingles. 30 yrs on the shingles, 5 year warranty on the install. So being a natural skeptic, I started scouring the web for information and personal reviews on Tamko. I found a real large amount of negative reviews(from homeowners). There is a few class action lawsuits currently pending against them, and it appears that the most common negative review was that Tamko puts a disclaimer on all their shingle packaging(that the homeowner never sees)that says that ALL claims against them must go thru arbitration with them directly, and they get the final say on the outcome of each case. So you cant sue them for breach of warranty? Or at the very least during arbitration, they will argue every piece of evidence(installers fault, weather beyond control, ect) that points to them not being responsible. So does anyone on here have any personal knowledge or experience with Tamko? Theyre not a new company, but Im wondering if they are getting cheaper with materials. All contractors have their personal favorites Im sure, and this guy Im hiring has been installing Tamko for over a decade with very few problems he says. Should I ask for another brand if Im uncomfortable? What about GAF, Certainteed, Owens corning brands? Any personal favorites? Thanks for the feedback.

Hi, I noticed that my Asphalt Singles (roof) are curling on the south side and some badly but only in specific areas. The north side is in good shape. I'm assuming that the attic aeration could be the culprit but as I'm running out of time before the cold weather shows up I will, in this instance, try to find a solution correcting the symptom and not the source of the problem, basically I'd to protect or seal the asphalt shingles (in the bad areas only) to buy me some time. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could share their experiences with a sealer they have used, product name, how to apply, time that it will last, any specs would be greatly appreciated. Also, I was wondering if a Driveway Sealer can be used on the Roofing Asphalt Shingles ? Even if your product is not available in my region I will google it for the specs and try to find an equivalent. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you!
