"prestique"
I had Elk Prestique 50 year shingles installed in 2005 a home I built for myself. They are shedding granules and leaving bare spots on the shingles and some are lifting. Many of the ridge cap shingles are cracked or missing due to having simply falllen apart. This supposed 50 year shingle which at the time was deemed the best you could buy might barely last 20 years. Complicating factors are the fact that there are 32 solar panels installed on 4 of the roof sections which are new as of last year. They will have to be removed before reroofing and replaced after the roof is redone. That would not have happened if the shingles had lasted the 50 years or which they were warranted. The panels would have lasted about the same time as the roof was supposed to last. Does anyone out there heave a similar situation. How have your claims been handled by GAF. I'm filing a claim with them and their rep is supposed to stop by to pick up two defective shingles that my roofer has removed. I'm looking for a legal firm in Northern California to handle this case.

"2003 install replacing less than 20 years"
There is about 2" of sand in the gutters after less than 20 years of these 50 year shingles. The shingles are balding. Paying 20k to have my roof redone. There is no such thing as a 50 year asphalt shingle Maybe 20 at best.

"No good"
We had these shingles installed in 2003 they are suppose to be a 30yr shingle but, turns out they are " lown-Out" roofer term for loss of grands and surface cracks and fibers showing threw after 17 yrs, so we are seniors hoping the roof would last the rest of our lives now big expense and the installer is no longer in business... very sad product.

"Merger Fail!"
GAF-Elk merged in March 2007 with GAF suppose to be backing warranties. I bought my house from a contractor in Aug. 2007. He broke ground in March and completed the house around mid June. The roofer is certified with GAF. These shingles have a 25 yr. warranty at the 10 yr. point they started to look like crap. Black streaks everywhere, then a storm blew through and I lost several shingles due to them not having sealed! When I went on the roof to make repairs I noted the roofer nailed to high in some places and also one side of my roof the majority of shingles didn't seal. There's no excuse for this in the deep South in Spring!!! Can't get the certified roofer to return my calls. I spoke to his office assistant, explained all the problems with roof and she assured me he would be in contact. There was a class action lawsuit on many of these shingles, apparently I missed out! This year, 2018 I look up at roof and so much asphalt granules are missing shiny spots of fiberglass are showing all over the place. Much to my pleasure Florence blew through my area in Sept. and I lost approx. 60 shingles off just that one side. I'm now getting a new roof but, I will definitely avoid anything made by GAF along with their certified roofers!

"22 years and could go more"
Installed Elk 30-year architectural shingles in winter of 94-95. Walked on the shingles many times, installing a solar hot water system, a flat antenna, a second power ventilator, a change out of some solar tubes, etc. Shingles held up very well and could easily do another 4-5 years. Very satisfied.

"Happy to get rid of them"
This roof is the middle of 3 grades of Elk Prestique, just below the top of the line architectural grade shingle. South Texas, roof facing east- west with occasional strong winds north-south, but no extraordinary storms. After a few years, winds would break off a tab of the shingle. The number has increased to recently to 100 tabs from a strong wind. The granules loosened at an increasing rate yearly until this year when unusual heavy rains beat off all the granules. The roof is 22 years old. I believe the stated life expectancy was at least 30. No leaks, but it is the last days of the shingles. I do not know if this is good service or not or how it compares to other shingles. At the time these shingles were installed, the Elk shingles were highly touted as being superior and I am surprised at the rapid deterioration. It seems that there is a limit that when reached, the shingle wears out quickly.
