Only three shingles are worth putting on a Carolina roof.
We install all three of them. This page is the honest ladder — who's on it, who isn't, and how to figure out which one belongs on your roof. No pitch. Score it yourself.
Which shingle is right for my roof?
Three questions, thirty seconds, zero sales pitch.
Where every shingle really stands
Independent rankings put 14+ architectural shingles on a ladder.
Malarkey (Vista & Highlander) sits above everyone — and you can't buy it here. It's over-engineered for snowy blizzard country. Admire it from afar.
The best you can actually buy in the Carolinas. We install all three — your roof, your call.
Don't take our word for it
This ranking isn't ours. Watch how the ladder was built — then notice who leads the Contenders.
One manufacturer does beat Owens Corning Duration in this ranking: Malarkey. You won't find it on a Carolina roof — their shingles are over-engineered for snowy blizzard country, and they're not sold here. Among shingles you can actually buy in the Carolinas, Owens Corning Duration reigns supreme.
Good. Better. Best. Factor by factor.
Thirteen deciding factors, three shingles, no spin — the tinted cell is whoever wins that row. Count them up yourself.
If color variety tops your list, Landmark Pro is genuinely a really good roof. But if you're weighing lasting color, wind, sealant grip, granule life, and install precision — then Owens Corning DURATION is in a league of its own!
