Asphalt Shingle Comparison

Considering a new roof in Burlington, NC? You may feel overwhelmed with all the choices out there, but the truth is, asphalt shingle roofing is an affordable, cost-effective, and attractive choice. But asphalt shingles are not one-size-fits-all. There are many different styles and types to choose from. Our Elon, NC roofers are here to compare the different types and brands of asphalt shingles to make your decision easier.

Which Shingle is Right For Your Home?

From CertainTeed and GAF shingles to Atlas and Owens Corning shingles, it can be challenging to find the right fit for your home. However, choosing the right shingle manufacturer can spell the difference between a shorter and a longer life span. Today, we will compare GAF Natural Shadow, Owens Corning Oakridge, CertainTeed Landmark shingles, and Atlas ProLam shingles.

People ask us all the time: what’s the best manufacturer of asphalt shingles? We’re here to enlighten you. All of the above are on the same plane comparison-wise.

In a nutshell, we are partial to CertainTeed due to the weight and quality of the shingles. In our opinion, heavier is better. This shingle is more robust with more granules.

To help you visualize this, we weighed a bundle of each shingle type:

• GAF: 66.6 pounds
• Owens Corning: 70.2 pounds
• Atlas: 71.4 pounds
• CertainTeed: 79.2 pounds

You get heavier shingles with the CertainTeed brand while staying within the same price range as the others.

CertainTeed shingles feature a quad bond sealant system, which is four strips of sealant that keep the shingles together on a steep roof, more so than the others. This means they won’t slide off or go missing. In addition, the CertainTeed Landmark Pro has a 30-year algae resistance warranty that guards against the blue algae that is common to the Southeast. That’s because the shingles are built with a copper granule in them that eliminates this algae before it starts to grow.

CertainTeed also has a 3D look with a wide-ranging color palette. Our customers are happier with CertainTeed in terms of color availability.

In the end, we want you to have the most durable and beautiful roof possible so that it lasts as long as possible. We want you to be happy with the end result and tell your friends and neighbors.

We have all the resources and materials to install any asphalt shingle manufacturer you want, but we choose to go with CertainTeed because we believe it’s the best shingle. Period.
