Why We Install CertainTeed Shingles — and Why It Matters for Your Home

There are dozens of shingle brands available to contractors. We install CertainTeed almost exclusively — and not because of a volume discount or a distributor arrangement. It is because after looking at what is available at different price points, CertainTeed’s Landmark series consistently offers the best combination of longevity, appearance, and warranty coverage for homes in the Cincinnati area.

The Landmark Product Line

CertainTeed’s Landmark shingles are a two-layer laminated asphalt shingle built for the temperature swings that Ohio roofs deal with — hot summers, freeze-thaw cycles in winter, and periodic hail. The Landmark series comes in three tiers: Landmark (the standard), Landmark Pro (heavier with a longer limited warranty), and Landmark Premium (designed for a more textural look). We help homeowners select the right tier based on their budget and how long they plan to stay in the home.

What the SELECT ShingleMaster Credential Means

CertainTeed certifies contractors at different levels based on training, installation volume, and documented quality standards. As a SELECT ShingleMaster, we are eligible to offer CertainTeed’s SureStart PLUS warranty — an enhanced warranty that extends coverage on both materials and workmanship beyond what a standard installation would provide. This matters if you ever need to make a warranty claim.

The Two-Warranty Picture

Every new roof has two separate warranties: the manufacturer’s warranty on the materials and a workmanship warranty from the contractor. CertainTeed’s material warranties are strong on their own. But a workmanship warranty is only as good as the company standing behind it — which is why it matters that we are a local company with a track record in the Greater Cincinnati area, not a traveling crew that will be gone next season.
