jdonn Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 So, tomorrow my roofer will do my roof... He brought over the supplies today and I started looking up the brand... They are IKO Cambridge AR's. Being me, I started researching them and the reviews are not good. Is this a shitty brand or is this just contractors that are out to get IKO? Any feedback is appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrome Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Look for a new roofer. Owens Corning is the only way to go. Let me know if you want a quote. Are they 3-tab or dimensional? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Dimensional.... Looking for a new roofer would be hard as he's my neighbor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I've got 30yr Owens Corning 3 tab on my house. I live on a very windy hill top with no shade. And 15 years in, my roof still looks great. Iv replace a couple that have blown off, but 30 min up there a couple times and they are good as new. I'm thinking im good for at least another 10 plus years, and I'll be using Owens products again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohiomike Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Neighbor or not, your house is a significant investment. I'd opt to make sure my investment was taken care of before worrying about what your neighbor might think. But maybe that's just me.......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAC Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Roofers are like used car salesmen. There are some good ones, but there are also quite a few that've been out in the sun too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I spoke to him about it and also spoke to another roofer that had been a friend of mine... both said they are good and they have been using them for years. They are three tab, and he took out my square vents and installed Ridge vents. From what I see,they look good but time will obviously tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrome Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Sounds like a cheap way to go. If you don't mind me asking what did he charge per square? Removing hat vents and putting on ridge vent is normal these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
