I have purchased IKO architectural shingles twice for the same roof and have been extremely unsatisfied with their poor durability and the dismal warranty. Why twice? Because the seller assured me that they’re as good or comparable to other manufacturers and maybe the first was “a bad lot.” If that is so, IKO must have a lot of bad lots. Even now, just within 20 years, I am facing a THIRD roofing job because these shingles did not hold up. As you can see, I am extremely disappointed in IKO and would never recommend their shingles.
Thank you for that info! The roofer just offered IKO because they had the color when the other brand did not. Now I think I will look into GAF. Just saw a video on IKO shingles….no Bueno.
