- Don't buy Iko shingles, they do not care about their customers and do not replace defective products. They try to get you to just put a band aid on it until the warranty is up and they are free.
This roof is only 4 years old in this video.
They are trying to get me to settle for 1200$ on my 50 square roof (150 bundles) just the materials alone would cost 5000$ and with labor 10000$+
Best part of IKO shingles is knowing you will need a new roof in less than 10 years 15 if you are lucky
Iko shingles circa 2021 have an improved tar strip. Lay one on top of one for only awhile in the sun and you will have to rip them apart. He said he installed these 90 plus degree day. There can be issues when it's that hot (not recommended by some manufacturers). Not sure what happened here. Not saying iko is the best. But to those that stumbled across this video I thought I would add some possible context.
This is why it’s so important to ask the contractor what they are using. Roofers will try to save a few bucks and don’t even know what the warranty is on what they are installing.
these typically happens from the roofing installer when they open the bundles and lay them out to install and the sealent sealed to something else loosing the sealant on the ends and some whole shingles, this can happen with any brand, call the roofing company that installed it.
Man that is pure nonsense... get back on the ground
think you need to speak to the roofing company about proper installation for one, not nearly enough overlap for a warranty approved re-install.
It isn't the installer. There is no viable tar strip to seal them down. You can put as many nails in the shingle you like, but if there isn't a strip to seal the ends down, off the roof they will go.
We have an IKO Cambridge roof, the only thing worse than the shingles is the customer service. Supply houses around here stopped carrying them all together so that says something. Have had multiple. Blow offs since it was installed
I've been having shingles lift and the tabs tear off in any wind condition. I've had numerous repairs and IKO refuses to honor warranty or cover their product. Their customer service sucks. This was a new home construction built in the summer. Purchased the home in July 2017. Already have to have a New roof insralled.
IKO has a class action lawsuit against them for their garbage shingles. They tried to reduce the amount of oil in production to save money you think sealing is a problem wait till they start falling apart.
Lores exactly! My aunts iko shingles disintegrated, as well as lifted, causing extensive water damage to her new home. Same with others who built with her.
I started a claim over 1.6 years ago and they offered me 1200$ settlement on my 50 square roof.They gave me Phil Nelson (I will double check the name later) and he is the worst Rep for returning calls once you deny their settlement offer!!
I have called my Iko Rep Phil Nelson many many times with no answer and never a call back, I have text him many many times and he won't respond back anymore.
And as for Scott pollards comment you have no clue what you're talking about lol..
To sum up 1.6 years, they came out and tested my shingles and came back with there results: the shingles preformed as they were suppose to but for some reason the bond is failing...
Doesn't this mean they are not performing as usual?
All I want is them to warranty my roof that's all
When you have a problem with Iko shingles be prepared to experience the worst customer service that you have had. # Nightmare.
Owens Corning vs IKO? Looking to replace my roof for the first time.
@@chrisginoc
I was talked into upgrading to the 30 yr. from the 25 yr. They lasted 10 years. Iko disappeared when I needed help. Their warranty is as useless as tits on a bull.
Totally agree. Our 30 year IKO roof is crumbling off the house 15 years later. Terrible quality!!
Shingles won't seal unless they warm to an ambient temperature near 70 degrees. Some people wants to install their roof, In the winter and then blame the manufacturer
marcus lewis
I installed them in August in Missouri so it was probably 90+ degrees
Darren, NONE of these guys are roofers. From what I can tell in this video, poor installation is not a factor in your roof problems. Anyone who tells you that the roofer should have tarred each shingle is an idiot. That’s why they have the sealing strip on them, there’s absolutely no need for tar on a shingle roof PERIOD. If you rely on tar for anything shingle related then you are doing it wrong. These IKO shingles are by far the worst on the market. I see nothing but problems with them. They do not seal. I’m from Toronto, and these shingles are extremely common here because they are cheap and made here in canada. I wouldn’t only ever recommend using certainteed #1 Owens Corning #2 GAF#3. Nothing else. Let me know if you have any other questions.
could be poor install practice. Opening bundles above work area and allowing loose granules to fall onto exposed shingle will keep them from sealing properly
Nope just garbage shingles. And if you recommend IKO then your garbage too.
Sir you clearly have a install problem. Clearly have a install problem. And walking around and lifting on what little seal they do have is only worse. Furthermore you are literally documenting on you tube a reason for them to deny your warranty. I would be willing to put money that were I to look at your roof 75% or more of those shingles are high nailed. If you don't mail in the common bond they may never seal properly.
first off , you cnt see th nails , and iko is bad product, i hav installed it for many yrs, they do not stick well ,
Sorry chief, but I think you're pointing the finger in the wrong direction. This is pretty misleading and missing A LOT of information in order to make the claim. All shingle manufacturers can have the issues you just displayed...
Which IKO model was that?
My IKO 30 year Cambridge shingles are worst. 4 years and 8 months old. Almost NO tar under strip to seal. IKO rep stood my roofer up twice to check roof today. Same lousy customer service so far. Not looking forward to hearing their "fix". DO NOT BUY IKO SHINGLES PEOPLE.
They weren’t installed properly guys, Iko is actually really good roofing.
And explain all the lawsuits and horrible reviews???
THEY'RE garbage and their customer service sucks.
no its not i installed it for many years, its bad product
There's a number of things that could have happened but I'm guessing not enough sun in those areas or someone going around pulling them up all the time to check them.
Let me guess you installed in the winter?
There must be a problem with installation and the roof looks to be a new install that has not adheared from time and lack of temperature.
Wrong
I looked at it I saw enough I can't have this on my Custermer sss house and I have 6 houses to re roof coming up
If your nails are all in that 3/4” nailing zone you have nothing to worry about. Looks like your in a well treed area. There was a short time when the self sealing strips on the Cambridge were thin but there thicker now. I’m in Edmonton area and I’ve installed Cambridge on new builds in winter. Never had one blow off.
Not defending IKO. My opinion Malarkey would be my first choice.
Death to Ice Shield
I installed 1000+\- squares of these iko shingles in the 1-2 years around the time I built my house and every roof has the same problem...
it’s not malarkey it’s a problem they don’t want to own up to...
My advice go with Tamco or Owens cornings..
I personally think Tamco has the best customer service and warranty
Whoever installed that did horrible
I literally have 3 full pallets of IKO shingles sitting on my driveway waiting for roofers to show up.......what I do? This is an insurance claim
I can assure you that IKO is one of if THE best shingle on the market. My father is a general contractor and we have roofed over 300 roofs with IKO shingles and it is one of the thickest shingles available. And as others have stated this install in the video was installed incorrectly. Alot of times roofers follow storms state to state and they slap a roof on in such a hurry it's usually always wrong. And remember do you think those stork chasers are really gonna come back and fix your roof when they are in a different state? NO...Just like ANY shingle this be happen.
Did you ever up getting them installed? I'm debating between IKO Cool shingles or Owens Corning Cool Duration. Cant make up my mind. This is my first roof being replaced
IKO shingles are shit, they installed those shingles on my friend's roof and a year later he's having problems with it, the seal strip in the back of shingles( adhesive) won't work and shingles won't seal properly, and every time there's moderate to strong winds he ends up losing a lot of them, and we have heard of other ppl the same thing, and also about the warranty is the same crap they won't honor it.
And add insult to injury, the dumb roofers put the joints to close to one another...
Laminate shingles need a minimum of 6” stagger. These seem fine.
Just an update for those considering IKO they stopped returning my calls and text messages about 6-8 months ago, I finally got ahold of Phil nelsons "manager" and it seems they lost the estimates for repairing my roof and I need to send new ones....It has been almost 1.5 years since I first made this claim and hey don't seem to be eager to help me anytime soon.They offered me a 1200$ settlement for my 50 square roof, to get t replaced it is 10,000-12,5000$
Darren S you probably used a shit roofer who didn't register a warranty with iko.
Any news, where is this. Any blow offs
Should have bought BP shingles
Your a fool for even buying them in the first place. You get what you pay for.
Thank you for this video, I live in Canada and I have to do my roof again after 18 years. The contractor was using the IKO shingles on my roof and I was told that the product has 25 years of warranty, however, the shingles on the sunny side started to fall apart already after 18 years. I have contacted IKO and they are offering me the warranty reimbursement ONLY if I use their shingles again. My question is what is the normal lifespan for the shingles in general? How good these IKO shingles in comparison to the other brands?
Shingles are one of the worst materials you can use for a roof, but they’re cheap which is why most people end up with asphalt shingles
@@davidchillton1744 I agree, in Europe, my grandmother built a house back in 1965 and used the ceramic tiles for the roof and these lasted till 2005! I do not understand why in North America such an option is not available only the metal roof?
Uh shit wow ! I just almost ordered 50 square of this . So glad I saw this shit . Going local going with timberline. I thought this was the best out there . Fuck this n I have roofing business I gonna start recommend this product . I thought it was better then timberline. I guess not . Thanks for vid . U help me decide
TONY you are a joke if you let this video influence your choice. There obviously not installed proper in the video.
@@thehamstaa5148 This ain't no joke. Come take a look at my house and see for yourself lol.
I am getting a architecture cambridge 30 yr shingles installed in the next week or so should I be concerned?
MrJmlp3 only if you use a shit roofer. A good roofer will tar tab each shingle and you won't ever have a problem.
Late reply but none the less. IKO shingles are by far the worst shingles on the market. Any roofer that recommends them is also trash. The other guy telling you about tarring each shingle doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about. The sealing strip on these shingles does not activate. I see it all the time!!!! I install shingles all day every day so yeah take my word for it.
