Why CertainTeed Shingles and Their Warranty Matter for Your Roof
When homeowners invest in a new roof, they’re not just buying shingles — they’re investing in protection, durability, and peace of mind for decades to come. That’s why many roofing professionals recommend CertainTeed products, especially the highly respected CertainTeed Landmark line.
CertainTeed has built a strong reputation in the roofing industry for manufacturing high-quality asphalt shingles that combine performance, curb appeal, and some of the best warranty protection available. For homeowners, those warranties can be just as important as the shingles themselves.
Why Homeowners Choose CertainTeed Landmark Shingles
The CertainTeed Landmark series is one of the most popular architectural shingle lines in the country. These shingles are known for their durability, layered appearance, and ability to withstand harsh weather conditions.
Some key benefits include:
- Dual-layer construction for added strength
- High wind resistance ratings
- Algae-resistant technology
- A wide variety of colors and styles
- Excellent curb appeal
Landmark shingles are designed to last and protect homes from the elements while enhancing overall home value.
Why Roofing Warranties Matter
Many homeowners focus only on the price of a roof replacement, but the warranty behind the roofing system is incredibly important. A roof is one of the biggest investments you’ll make in your home, and strong warranty coverage helps protect that investment if manufacturing issues occur.
CertainTeed’s warranty coverage stands out because it offers protection beyond basic material defects. Their warranty programs can include coverage for:
- Manufacturing defects
- Wind resistance
- Algae resistance
- Labor costs during the initial coverage period
- Extended workmanship coverage when installed by our certified contractors at Resistant Roofing LLC
This level of protection gives homeowners confidence that their roofing system is backed by a major manufacturer with a long-standing reputation.
Understanding the Landmark Warranty
The standard warranty offered with CertainTeed Landmark shingles is a limited lifetime warranty for the original homeowner. In addition, CertainTeed includes its SureStart™ protection period, which provides non-prorated coverage during the crucial early years after installation.
During the SureStart period, CertainTeed may cover:
- 100% of replacement material costs
- Labor costs for manufacturing defects
- Additional approved repair expenses depending on the warranty level
Landmark shingles also include:
- StreakFighter® algae-resistance protection
- Wind-resistance warranties up to 110 mph or higher with upgraded installation systems
Some enhanced warranty options, such as SureStart PLUS™, are available when the roof is installed by CertainTeed-certified contractors using a complete roofing system. These upgraded warranties can even include workmanship coverage backed by the manufacturer.
The Importance of Professional Installation
Even the best shingles can fail if they are installed improperly. That’s why choosing an experienced roofing contractor like Resistant Roofing matters just as much as selecting the right materials.
CertainTeed offers extended warranty programs through credentialed contractors such as Resistant Roofing, which means homeowners receive additional protection when certified installers complete the project according to manufacturer specifications.
A properly installed roofing system helps:
- Prevent leaks and premature failure
- Improve wind resistance
- Maintain manufacturer warranty eligibility
- Extend the overall lifespan of the roof
Peace of Mind for Years to Come
A new roof should provide more than just curb appeal — it should provide confidence. The combination of premium materials and strong warranty protection is one reason so many homeowners trust CertainTeed Landmark shingles for their homes.
When comparing roofing options, it’s important to look beyond just upfront cost. A trusted manufacturer warranty can save homeowners significant stress and expense down the road if issues arise.
