Selecting the right shingle can impact your home's longevity and curb appeal. This year, a thorough investigation was carried out on the top shingle brands available in the market.

  • Granule loss: Assessing the quality of adhesion and potential longevity.
  • Thickness: Often corresponding to the overall quality and lifespan.
  • Nailing Zone: Important for installation precision.
