Video: Warning About Roofing Shingles

PACIFICA — Mike Im: Composite shingles manufacturing industry has changed. Shingles used to have 30-year, 40-year, and lifetime warranted shingles. Now all the shingles are lifetime warranted. It’s very, very important that you ask the contractor what type of shingles, lifetime shingles, they’re actually installing. Thirty-year shingles used to be called “landmark.” Forty-year shingles used to be called “pro.” Lifetime warranty roofs were called “TL Presidentials.” You don’t want them to tell you they are going to put on lifetime warranty shingles and charge you for a TL Presidential shake price and actually install a thirty-year shingle; there’s a big price difference in that. So you have to make sure that you ask the contractor, “What type of shingle are you actually installing?” Very, very important.
