Roofing Shingles and Accessories
|
|
"For my entire roofing career I have been installing Certainteed Roofing Shingles and Roof Accessories. I have also installed some other brands. My thought about roofing materials is that today, most manufacturers make a pretty darn good product, and that much of the longevity in a roof has to do with the installer. Having said that, we use Certainteed Roofing Shingles on about 90% of our roofing jobs because I feel they help make our installations better, and I personally prefer their shingles. Certainteed's roofing colors seem to hold "true" through the years, and I think their sealing strip is superior to most other brands. They also provide an Algae Resistant feature, which eliminates the black streaks you see on many roofs today caused by mold and "blue algae". The three most popular styles that Certainteed offers are:" |

Certainteed Color Chart |
Landmark Series - The first two-piece, random-tab laminated shingle ever produced. It may well be the most versatile shingle anyone’s ever produced. Landmarks come in a fabulous color line and are available in 30, 40, and lifetime warranties. |

Classic Horizon Series - A unique overlay pad that, combined with patented shadow lines, works to replicate the appearance of a more expensive two-piece laminated shingle.Because of it's "Architectural" look, it's 3-tab value, and 30 year warranty, it's the shingle we install the most. |

XT25 3-Tab Premium - Although the previous two shingles now get the most attention, some homeowners still prefer the "old fashioned" look of a 3-tab shingle. The XT-25 has a great color selection and is the most popular 25 year shingle on the market. |

Shingle Vent II- When it comes to Ventilation for your attic, we prefer the "shingle over" type Shingle Vent II ridge vent system by AirVent, Inc. (a Certainteed Company). I have used this product for over 20 years and it is the best system for both good looks, function, and durability. |

Underlayment - When it comes to underlayment, or "tarpaper", I prefer the synthetic product called "Berger UDL". It protects better, lays flatter, kind of like a "shrink wrap". Most companies won't go the extra mile and suggest this material, but we know it's much better for our customers in the long run - and adds an additional 25 year Warranty feature. Nice! |

"Ice and Water Shield"- In areas prone to "ice dams", or areas where extra protection is warranted, we recommend WinterGuard by Certainteed. |

| "My ridge vent blew off in one of the recent storms. I called several places and was told they could not get to me until the following week. In the meantime, water was pouring into my house each day it rained, and it rained every day that week. Bill came the very next day and repaired the roof . . . without my being home. We were in close phone contact throughout the process. He kept me informed with exactly what he found and how much it would cost to do the repairs. When he sent the bill, it also included before and after pictures of what he saw and repaired. That alone is worth the price! I have never been treated with such kid gloves and it really feels great! I highly recommend this company and will spread the word and use them again! Thanks again, Bill."
