Is tamko shingles any good?

TAMKO is a quality shingle and ranks the highest in my book. Ten years ago, I used a mixture of CertainTeed, GAF, TAMKO and Owens Corning. I switched to TAMKO first because of color choices. I always thought TAMKO had the best colors on the market.

What kind of roof is best?

Is GAF or CertainTeed shingles better?

Many roofers see Certainteed shingles as higher quality than GAF shingles.
