Roofing shingle brands

[WTF?]

went with landmark solaris TL

Is this acceptable? Looks ugly to me, seems like better ways to do it, or this is common?

Apparently that’s a feature and not a bug with the fancy ass triple laminated shingles they used; Hip and ridge overhangs a lot more than most.

I once priced the impact resistant landmark shingles and they were like 2.5x the cost of a standard landmark 30 yr architectural shingle, so I shudder to think how much these TL units cost.

From the landmark tl product brochure;

I have never seen any professional roofer do that (hell, I’ve never seen an amateur roofer do that).

Could more than 1 guy on the crew speak English?
Did you drug test your crew?
Because that’s some shit a sober roofer would try to pass off? Or a white crew.

It does look like they can be cut; but I also understand how the installer would have been hesitant to cut into that beast of a hip/ridge shingle ;

I'd have cut it as long as the bundle didn't specifically say not to

I've been told that insurance won't pay the impact resistant price to replace it when it ages out (Texas) so it can end up cost you money.
Just what I was told from some roofers and a insurance (friend not customer)
