Nonetheless, we’ve seen it work well, and it counts for something in our book. Many roofers have said that they don’t agree with our pull tests or that they feel it’s not a good representation of what it’s like to have shingles on a roof. A clearer nailing zone with fewer obstructions goes a long way. Tamko Heritage shingles can improve regarding this category. Some products also have tar over the nailing zone, causing many problems with the roofing nailers when that tar gets jammed in the end. Roofers shouldn’t be struggling to find where they’re supposed to nail or having to read the packaging to find the nail zone. The nailing zones need to be specific, easy to find, and consistent on every shingle.

The nailing zone makes a huge impact on how well roofers will be able to install the shingles. A healthy weight helps to show the manufacturer isn’t skimping out or cutting corners during installation. Tamko Heritage shingles weren’t the best on our list for this category, but they did receive a 4. Heavier shingles also tend to be stronger during the installation process. We judge the weight of shingles because we’ve found that shingles that weigh more tend to hold up better and provide more protection for your roof than other shingles would. Their packaging didn’t keep water out and seemed cheap, like it wouldn’t hold up well. The Tamko shingles didn’t do well on this test and only scored a 3 of 5. In cold weather, this water can freeze the shingles together or cause them to deteriorate faster than they should. One of the big things we look for with packaging is that water doesn’t get trapped inside the bundles. Bundles of shingles don’t need to look cool, but the packaging does need to keep the shingles together and protect them from the elements. Packaging: Scored 3/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️įirst up, we look at the packaging. Note that each category is ranked on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. We’re real roofers looking for real reviews and understandings of how well these shingles will hold up as they’re installed. But we’re not a high-tech lab with simulators. Some roofers might not agree that this test covers everything it should or that all of these tests are legitimate. We also do our best to understand how well they can be installed and how well they’re going to hold up.
