When it comes to protecting your home, the shingles on your roof matter more than most people realize. At Mr. Roofer, we install products from several leading manufacturers, but IKO is our preferred brand — and there are real reasons why.
What Makes IKO Different
IKO has been manufacturing roofing products for over 70 years. They're one of the largest shingle manufacturers in North America, and their products are engineered specifically for the kinds of weather conditions we see across Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky — heavy rain, high winds, hail, ice, and extreme temperature swings.
Full roof replacements include a written Mr. Roofer workmanship warranty. Manufacturer material coverage is separate and subject to the selected product's written terms. Ask for the project-specific term, coverage, and exclusions. After installing thousands of roofs in the Tri-State area, we've seen how different products hold up over time. IKO consistently delivers.
IKO Cambridge: The Smart Choice for Most Homes
The IKO Cambridge is an architectural shingle that offers outstanding value. It's the shingle we recommend most often for homeowners looking for a reliable, great-looking roof at a competitive price.
- Dual-layer laminated construction for dimensional appearance
- Excellent wind resistance
- Wide selection of colors to complement any home style
- Proven performance in our regional climate
Cambridge shingles give your home a high-end look without the high-end price tag. They're thicker and more durable than standard 3-tab shingles, and they hold up exceptionally well through our harsh winters and summer storms.
IKO Dynasty: Premium Performance for Maximum Protection
For homeowners who want the best available protection, we recommend the IKO Dynasty. This is IKO's premium residential shingle line, and it's built for performance.
- ArmourZone reinforced nailing area for superior wind resistance (rated up to 130 mph)
- Impact-resistant design that stands up to hail
- Enhanced granule adhesion for longer-lasting protection against UV and weather
- Available in a wide range of colors
Dynasty shingles are an especially smart choice for homeowners in storm-prone areas. If you've already had one insurance claim for hail or wind damage, upgrading to Dynasty can help prevent future damage and may even reduce your insurance premiums.
We Also Install Owens Corning, GAF, and CertainTeed
While IKO is our go-to recommendation, we understand that every homeowner has different preferences and needs. We also install quality products from Owens Corning, GAF, and CertainTeed. During your free inspection, we'll walk you through all of your options and help you choose the shingle that's the best fit for your home, your budget, and your goals.

Why Brand Choice Matters
Not all shingles are created equal. Choosing a quality shingle installed by an experienced, certified contractor is the best way to protect your investment.
