Anyone have any recommendations on Elk roofing shingles (Prestique) versus
Certainteed (Landmark) or GAA (Timberline)?

Thank you for your reply.

Been a long time since I roofed, but in early 80's the Elk products
initially adhered better than the others, which was a plus in cooler
weather months. You might try to find out if that is still the case
today.

They over did the adhesive because their shingles don't have much body
to them. They didn't in the 1980s and they don't today. The "better"
adhesive was needed because their shingles blew off at a much hight
rate than their competition's products. To my mind, TAMKO makes
shingles that are better than Certainteed, GAF, or Elk. Elk would be
my last choice for shingles.

I have one of those sample things from ELK sitting in my livingroom.
Its been there about 6 weeks and the edges of the shingles are
curling up. I won't be using Elk brand.
