Why Choose a CertainTeed Select Shingle Master Roofer?

Your roof is more than just shingles; it’s your home’s first line of defense against wind, rain, sun, and storms. A strong roof keeps your family safe, protects your investment, and adds value to your property. That’s why choosing the right roofing contractor matters just as much as the quality of the materials being installed.

When you hire a CertainTeed Select Shingle Master, you’re working with a roofer who has earned the industry’s highest credential. This certification represents years of proven experience, advanced training, a commitment to ethical standards, and the ability to offer exclusive warranty protections that most contractors can’t provide.

In this post, we’ll break down what it means to hold the Select Shingle Master certification, the unique benefits it offers to homeowners, and why Restoration Roofing Co. stands out as the trusted choice for certified roofing excellence in Maryland.

What Is a CertainTeed Select Shingle Master?

This specific certification, offered by CertainTeed, is the highest credential a roofing contractor can earn from the company, representing the pinnacle of professionalism and skill in the industry. This certification is awarded only to companies that meet strict requirements, including years of proven business experience, advanced training, and ongoing adherence to rigorous standards.

It signifies that a contractor employs highly knowledgeable installers, follows a strict code of ethics, and maintains proper insurance and financial responsibility. Due to these stringent qualifications, the Select Shingle Master designation is recognized as a mark of prestige that distinguishes contractors from the majority of roofers in the marketplace.

The Benefits of Hiring a CertainTeed Select Shingle Master Roofer

Choosing the right roofing contractor isn’t just about finding someone who can install shingles; it’s about ensuring lasting quality and protection. Working with a Select Shingle Master roofer brings unique advantages, including expert crews, high ethical standards, and access to premium products that most contractors can’t provide.

Skilled and Certified Installers

A Select Shingle Master-certified company is required to employ highly trained crews with advanced credentials. Supervisors and at least half of the installers must be certified as Master Shingle Applicators, which means they’ve passed rigorous training and testing on best practices. This ensures every roof is installed according to industry-leading standards, reducing the risk of premature failure. For homeowners, this translates into a roof that is built to last and installed with expert precision.

Ethical Standards and Customer Focus

Contractors who achieve Select Shingle Master status are held to a strict code of ethics that emphasizes quality workmanship, compliance with laws, and customer satisfaction. To maintain certification, they must consistently achieve high customer ratings, proving they deliver reliable service and stand behind their work. This level of accountability provides homeowners peace of mind, knowing their roofer values professionalism as much as performance.

Access to Exclusive Roofing Products

A Select Shingle Master roofer gives homeowners access to product lines and warranty options that are not available through non-certified contractors. This includes advanced shingles such as CertainTeed Landmark Pro, which is known for its strength, long-lasting performance, and enhanced visual appeal. 

These premium materials are backed by the manufacturer's trust, meaning they’re designed to withstand severe weather while maintaining their beauty over time. By working with a certified contractor, you gain the assurance of both expert installation and the highest quality products available.

The Warranties the Select Shingle Master CertainTeed Certification Brings

One of the most valuable advantages of hiring a CertainTeed-certified roofer is the exclusive warranty coverage that comes with the designation. A CertainTeed Select Shingle Master warranty provides protections that extend far beyond standard manufacturer offerings, covering both materials and workmanship for decades. This expanded protection gives homeowners confidence that their investment is secure and supported by one of the strongest roofing warranty programs in the industry.

SureStart PLUS (3-5 Star Tiers)

The SureStart PLUS program is one of the most comprehensive warranty options available to homeowners. With its 3-Star, 4-Star, and 5-Star tiers, coverage can range from extended protection against manufacturing defects to full labor and workmanship guarantees. The higher-tier coverage even includes tear-off and disposal costs, providing complete financial security in the event that problems ever arise. This flexibility enables homeowners to choose the level of protection that best suits their needs and budget.

Material and Labor Coverage

Unlike many standard warranties that only cover defective products, CertainTeed’s enhanced program includes both materials and labor. This means that if your roof needs repair or replacement due to a covered issue, you won’t be left paying out of pocket for installation costs. Since this protection applies specifically to CertainTeed asphalt shingles, homeowners can trust they are getting reliable coverage for products designed to last. The combination of quality materials and covered labor ensures a stronger return on your roofing investment.

Workmanship Guarantee

Another standout feature of the Select Shingle Master warranty is the workmanship guarantee. For up to 25 years, CertainTeed will back the installation quality of certified contractors, protecting homeowners against costly mistakes. This assurance is essential because improper installation is one of the leading causes of roof problems. With this guarantee, you have confidence that both materials and craftsmanship are held to the highest standard.

Transferable Protection

Select Shingle Master warranties also include the option for transferability, which is a significant benefit if you plan to sell your home. Within the first 15 years, the warranty can be transferred to the next homeowner, adding to your property's resale value. This feature not only protects you but also reassures future buyers that the roof remains under coverage. It’s a unique benefit that helps extend the value of your investment well beyond your ownership.

Extended Wind Warranty

For homeowners in areas prone to severe weather, the extended wind warranty offers extra peace of mind. CertainTeed shingles installed by a Select Shingle Master are warrantied to withstand winds up to 130 mph, depending on the product. This added layer of protection ensures your home is safeguarded against extreme storms and high-wind conditions. By combining advanced product engineering with exclusive warranty coverage, homeowners can trust their roof is built to last under the toughest conditions.
