The roof over your head doesn’t just keep out the rain, sleet and snow. It’s a major focal point with huge impact on your home’s curb appeal. With a blend of beauty and performance, CertainTeed’s asphalt roofing shingles are a top choice for any homeowner.
WHY IT EARNED THE GH SEAL
Our engineers and remodeling experts in the Home Improvement & Outdoor Lab at the Good Housekeeping Institute were impressed by CertainTeed’s commitment to quality, breadth of design options and reputation for reliability.
- TOP PROTECTION — AT EVERY PRICE POINT Our team evaluated more than 20 roofing lines from CertainTeed and found that they all meet the highest industry standards for wind and fire resistance. Premium products, like the Landmark ClimateFlex polymer-modified shingles, go even further by delivering best-in-class impact resistance, protecting your roof from pounding hail and falling debris.
- WIDE RANGE OF STYLES Our design experts were partial to CertainTeed’s multilayered architectural shingles, which deliver the added dimension and shadow effect of traditional wood shakes. Or consider the authentic look of natural slate. Even the brand’s entry-level three-tab asphalt shingles come in an array of rich colors.
- A DRIVE TO INNOVATE The 121-year-old company isn’t resting on its laurels. An example of its innovative drive is its Landmark Solaris shingles, a “cool roof” solution that uses special granules to reflect the sun’s rays. Studies show that cool roofs can reduce attic temperatures by up to 30°F compared to conventional asphalt shingles. Landmark Solaris shingles achieve this by reflecting up to 20% of UV rays, therefore making the roof’s surface cooler, leading to lower energy costs and increased comfort. The shingles are listed by the Cool Roof Rating Council and even brown, gray and black colors meet California’s strict cool-roof requirements.
- BRAND RELIABILITY CertainTeed backs up the quality and performance of its roofing shingles with a lifetime limited transferable residential warranty, plus various added protections, including a 15-year guarantee against algae streaks. A dedicated customer experience team is available to support any roofing project need, however big or small.
