I don't know what brand those are, but even the best shingles in the world don't last very long if they are not installed properly.

There is a reason there is a nail line on shingles.

Hopefully, whoever installed these is still around to stand by their work.

Most shingles require 4-5 nails, and should be hand nailed, not nailed with a gun, and definitely not stapled.

Another big problem here in Oklahoma, is not enough attic/roof ventilation, and the shingles prematurely degrade from the heat, voiding the manufacturers warranty.

Good luck getting this taken care of.

My new roof goes on in about a week and I specified hand nailing ....... cost a tad more but makes me feel better. Hope your Roofer makes it right for you.
