If you've gotten roofing quotes, you may have noticed some contractors advertise their CertainTeed ShingleMaster™ credential. But what does it actually mean, and why should you care?
What Is CertainTeed?
CertainTeed, a Saint-Gobain company, is one of North America's leading manufacturers of roofing, siding, and building materials. With over 120 years in the industry, their products are trusted on homes across the country.
What Does ShingleMaster™ Mean?
CertainTeed doesn't hand out the ShingleMaster credential to just anyone. To earn it, a contractor must:
The ShingleMaster credential represents the highest level of CertainTeed's contractor credentialing program, demonstrating mastery of shingle roofing installation.
Why It Matters to You
Better Warranties
ShingleMaster contractors can offer warranty levels that non-credentialed contractors simply cannot:
Non-credentialed contractors can only offer CertainTeed's basic material warranty with no workmanship protection.
Proven Quality
The ShingleMaster credential means the contractor has been trained directly by CertainTeed on proper installation techniques. This matters because most roofing failures are caused by improper installation, not defective materials.
Accountability
CertainTeed monitors their credentialed network and provides an additional layer of consumer protection beyond the contractor alone. You're backed by one of the most trusted names in building materials.
The Bottom Line
A CertainTeed ShingleMaster credential isn't just a marketing badge — it's your assurance of quality materials, proper installation, and industry-leading warranty protection.
