Anyone have experience with Owens Corning roofing shingles? [View all]

Bad storm last week ripped a lot of shingles off my old roof, so it's time for a new one.

Found a great contractor with all 5-star reviews & an Angie's Lost Award, but they only sell Owens Corning shingles, which look somewhat problematic from what I've found online.

Anyone have experience with this or advice? I hate this. 😓
