              Shingles installed appear wavy.
              Not sure if it's the shingles or the installation,  but they look very cheap.

                  Good shingle
                  I wanted the dimensional shingles but since this was a insurance claim I could not afford them. I do like the warranty I received.

                    Poorly trimmed edges.
                    The installers were very courteous. However,  there was a very jagged edge left after installation that we were told TWICE was perfectly normal.Also,  the slope was raised. We were ALSO told this was perfectly NORMAL. Frankly,  it was ugly and you could see it coming all the way down the street. We had to push them to do their job and return to trim the edges more neatly. Nothing was done about the raised slope. Not perfect,  but at least it looks better. The whole thing left a bad taste in our mouths. Also,  they didn't clean up the area where the roll off was placed and we found shingles left around the property.

                      The color of the shingles matches the trim of the house. The shingles are durable and will last for years to come. The added ridge vent really stands out and will add ventilation.

                            The shingles looked great and the roof looked fantastic. We wish we had done it sooner.

                                  Good looking product
                                  Seems to be some color deviation from batch to batch but roofer was able to mix and make roof look great.

                                        Problems
                                        We bought our shingles in November 2009. The tar on the shingles did not seal and our house began leaking. My advice to people who purchase these shingles, make sure they seal one on top of the other. Our mistake was not taking care of the problem when it first started about 3 years ago. Please make sure your shingles are sealed one on top of the other after installation.

                                        Response from GAFProductExpertJan 11, 2016
                                        We’re sorry to hear of your experience. These shingles have a special thermal sealant that firmly bonds the shingles together after application when exposed to sun and warm temperatures. Shingles installed in fall or winter may not seal until the following spring. If shingles are damaged by winds before sealing or are not exposed to adequate surface temperatures, or if the self-sealant gets dirty, the shingles may never seal. Failure to seal under these circumstances results from the nature of self-sealing shingles, and is not a manufacturing defect. If shingles are to be applied during PROLONGED COLD periods or in areas where airborne dust or sand can be expected before sealing occurs, the shingles MUST be hand sealed. See Nailing Instructions / Hand Sealing available on http://www.gaf.com/Residential_Roofing/Shingles/Royal_Sovereign/Royal_Sovereign_Shingles_English_Size_Shingle_Application_Instructions_English_Spanish.pdf. We would recommend, if you’re interested, contacting our technical hotline to discuss this particular installation. They can be reached at 877-GAF-ROOF (877-0423-7663), Option 5. gaf
                                          Looks very nice
                                          I'm not a shingle expert and the warranty was one of the more important factors.
