CertainTeed Shingles

Summary

CertainTeed manufactures a wide range of asphalt and architectural shingles. CertainTeed took the "Overall Best of Class" award for Exterior Products in Professional Remodeler's 2005 Best in Class survey. (The phone survey results were gathered from a random sample of 200 subscribers (presumably remodeling contractors) to the magazine Professional Remodeler.)

CertainTeed's standard asphalt shingles include Sealdon®, Heathstead®, Jet®, and CustomLok™.

CertainTeed's high-end shingles are designed to look like slate shingles, wood shakes and architectural shingles, and are marketed under names such as Grand Manor®, CarriageHouse™, Presidential Shake™, Hatteras® and more.

History

CertainTeed was founded in 1904 as the General Roofing Manufacturing Company. The industrial holdings company Saint-Gobain acquired CertainTeed in 1988. The company is headquartered in Valley Forge, PA.

Warranty

Certainteed warrants to the original property owner that the shingles will be free of manufacturer defect for a period of time that ranges from 20 years to the lifetime of the buyer, depending on the model of shingle. They will repair or replace such shingles (though the labor cost is not included).

In addition, CertainTeed will replace or repair (including labor costs) shingles for an initial period of time covered by their SureStart™ protection, should those shingles be proven to have a manufacturer's defect.

Certain shingle models are guaranteed against algea growth (though not mold or mildew growth). However, in the event of algae growth, CertainTeed reserves the right to clean the affected shingles, rather than replace them.

CertainTeed's warranty varies based on many factors: the country in which the shingles are purchased / installed; whether or not the roof on which they were installed is adequately ventillated; the model of shingle; whether or not the person submitting the claim is the original homeowner, etc. Roofery.com recommends that you inspect the warranty carefully to make sure that you understand its terms.
