Close Race for the Most Popular Asphalt Shingles in America 

While analyzing the data in their software, Contractor’s Cloud found that it’s definitely a close race for the most popular asphalt shingles among their program users.  

Above is a chart of the most popular asphalt shingles installed by Contractor’s Cloud customers between January 1, 2015 to November 1, 2017. 

The data shows percentages of nearly 700,000 squares of shingles installed by their top 250 customers from all parts of the United States. 

All shingle styles above include their AR (Algae resistant), IR (Impact resistant), and designer models. 

The CertainTeed Landmark takes first place (23.91%) followed closely by the GAF Timberline HD (22.86%). Coming in third and fourth respectively are the Owens Corning TruDef Duration  (14.16%) and the Tamko Heritage (10.77%). 

Note, the top five makes and models installed are all architectural styled shingles. This shows that most American homeowners prefer the architectural style over the traditional 3-tab shingle style. 

Even though CertainTeed takes the top shingle installed, GAF holds the most squares installed with 27.44% with their Timberline HD, Royal Sovereign, and ArmorShield II models combined.
