y'all ever done any roofs with Ecostar shingles? This was our first one and I think it was around 200 squares. I found it pretty easy and I thought it turned out pretty nice. I hope they last. They have a 50 yr warranty I think. We finished this job about 6 months ago. The metal roof in the back ground we did about 10 yrs ago. The shingles cost about $6/sf. and go on with 3 stainless steel nails each. 6" exposure. 100 mph wind warranty. one thing I found out about these shingles is that you have almost no waste. The manufacture requires you to get all the shingles on the job at the start and then uncreate and re-sort all the shingles into new bundles by taking one shingle from eash stack and make new stacks or bundles of 25.

Nice work. I have used ecostar on a couple of large jobs. The shingle shuffling does take time and makes it harder to get them on the roof out of the bundles.
yeah we installed 5 or 6 of those stainless steel tie-off anchors and left them.
