Has anyone seen shingles wear this way?

Appears as though they are defective shingles.

Looks like someone thought it would be a good idea to power wash the roof.

Heat damage. Check for proper attic ventilation. Service life is at end.

Typically when it happens in just a certain portion, (like just a bundle or two of area) it is defective shingles. At least thats what I have determined.

That is not a standard roof shingle product.

Never seen anything like it. It almost resembles an Insul-Brick product.

The pattern is a cheaper version of an Elk product that was a 3-Tab that had 2" strips laminated randomly. They were run on 5" offsets not the standard 6". I will try to find some info it has been quit a while since we installed these. Maybe Elk Prestique

That would be nice Curtis to have something on that one.

The only thing I see similar today is Certain Teed Independence but the new style doesn't have the tiger stripe. We put them on in the late 80s early 90s in north central Illinois. I will keep looking but were computers around back then.

My first thought was defective shingles - but the overall condition of the roof suggests that this could be an original cover from the 70's - pressure washing was suggested by my partner -

Maybe a combination of late 80's material and pressure washing defective shingles?!

No worries - That was my first thought too, until I saw other signs of wear and the overall condition

Anyone here ever see them being made?
I bet the spray pattern where granules would stick better is shaped like that.
