The top rated roofers on any manufactures website are just the ones they sell the most shingles to through distribution. They may have sent them some training material on how to sell their shingle and tons of literature. It has nothing to do with the quality of the installation. Roofing shingles are purchased by the contractor from a roofing distributor not directly from the manufacturer. ABC Roofing is probably the largest distributor in the Country. OCF had thousands of squares of bad shingles in TV they had to replace a few years back. I think the best checking point is the Better Business Bureau.
